¶¹°ü³ÉÈË°æ

On Dec. 21, Gov. Jared Polis announced the appointment of ¶¹°ü³ÉÈË°æ alumna Annette Martinez to ¶¹°ü³ÉÈË°æ’s Board of Trustees. Her four-year term is pending confirmation by the Colorado General Assembly.

The past year has been a cautious reemergence into a world still churning from the effects of a pandemic. Despite the uncertainty and changes of living with COVID-19, our university community continued to rise to the challenge in 2021, including successfully navigating a full return to in-person learning and events this past fall.

The ¶¹°ü³ÉÈË°æ will hold its fall commencement ceremonies on Friday, Dec. 10, and Saturday, Dec. 11. Approximately 903 students will graduate this fall with around 554 earning a bachelor's degree and around 349 earning a master's, specialist or doctoral degree.

David Hulac, Ph.D., a professor of School Psychology in the College of Educational and Behavioral Sciences at the ¶¹°ü³ÉÈË°æ, has been chosen as the 2022 Winchester Distinguished Scholar by ¶¹°ü³ÉÈË°æ's Faculty Research and Publications Board.

Meet some of the approximately 903 undergraduate and graduate students who are graduating on Friday, Dec. 10, and Saturday, Dec. 11.

The ¶¹°ü³ÉÈË°æ Board of Trustees met on Thursday, Nov. 11 and Friday, Nov. 12, to discuss a variety of topics, including governance group reports, a president's report, an update on the university's Students First Framework and action items related to the pursuit of creating an osteopathic medical school.

The ¶¹°ü³ÉÈË°æ is proud to join the fifth annual First-Generation College Celebration on Nov. 8. The event, launched in 2017 by the Council for Opportunity in Education (COE) and the Center for First-generation Student Success, is designed to celebrate the outstanding accomplishments of first-generation students, faculty, staff and alumni.

Dan Satriana, vice president, general counsel and secretary to ¶¹°ü³ÉÈË°æ’s Board of Trustees, announced today that he will be retiring this winter. Satriana has been at ¶¹°ü³ÉÈË°æ for 11 years, serving as the university’s attorney and primary source of legal advice.

There are a few changes to the fourth annual Colorado Free Application Day. This year, it has expanded to three days instead of just one starting on Tuesday, Oct. 19 through Thursday, Oct. 21, 2021. During that time, the ¶¹°ü³ÉÈË°æ (¶¹°ü³ÉÈË°æ) is waiving application fees for undergraduate applicants submitted by Colorado residents.

Moving to Greeley from Denver to study early childhood education and starting her freshman year as a first-generation student, Alex Archuleta had a lot to learn about the college experience. She has an older sibling also attending the ¶¹°ü³ÉÈË°æ to help her adjust to the changes here and there, but a resource she relies heavily on is her advisors.
