Canvas Credit Union, Colorado’s third largest credit union, announced a new partnership with Colorado Mesa University earlier this month.

The collaboration aims to foster deeper connections with students, faculty, staff, alumni and community on the Western Slope, while providing resources to support financial literacy, local initiatives and shared opportunities for growth.

“Colorado Mesa University is a values-driven university, and we are thrilled to partner with an institution in higher education that is taking a unique approach to fulfilling their mission,” said Chad Shane, CEO of Canvas Credit Union.

The partnership is designed to empower students with a strong financial foundation and to support the university programs that bring the community together.

“Our goal as a Human Scale University is to be a model of the world we want to create; we are passionate about another partnership that helps us serve and support our students,” said Robin Brown, CMU’s vice president of development.
