Kudos to Colby for managing GPS Gateway Days and navigating all the many moving parts that come with planning such a big event—all while keeping up with the steady stream of college and department events coming into our queue these past few weeks. Your dedication to events and commitment to supporting our campus in welcoming students to UCCS is truly appreciated!

Shout out to Ezekiel for his first month at UCCS! He has taken on his new role as Executive Assistant to Dean Amundson with enthusiasm and great competence. We’re so happy to have him join the LAS Dean’s Office!
To: Jasmine Cashin

A huge shoutout to Jasmine for all the hard work she put into Clyde’s Kick-off and Disorientation Week! These events have so many moving parts, and she handled it all with grace, excitement, and determination. Her energy and dedication truly made a difference in creating a welcoming and memorable experience for our students.

She going above and beyond in her support of the Criminal Justice, Public Administration, and Social Work Departments in the College of Criminal Justice. Everything would fall apart if it weren’t for her and her willingness to step in and help when there are vacancies in other staff positions. Thank you, Lindsay, for your strong work ethic, attention to detail, and responsiveness.

Margie organized an absolutely wonderful reception for LAS Dean Bret Amundson. Not only was the event a great one to welcome our new Dean, it provided a fantastic start of the semester opportunity for faculty and staff in LAS to connect across departments. Margie’s leadership is unparalleled, and her efforts are invaluable in bringing people together and celebrating the great work we do in LAS!

The Facilities team in Columbine is fantastic! Thank you for all of your work to clean our building and classrooms over the summer and to prepare classrooms for the Fall semester. I put in a request to have chairs added to a classroom that was a few chairs short, and the request was addressed right away, with no disruption to my classes. Thank you to everyone on the team for your hard work.
