2022 Student Employee of the year

On behalf of the Department of Student Life, we are beyond appreciative of the work you accomplished and services provided to students over the past two years of employment with us.

Thank YOU Flora for impacting the lives of so many students during your time in Student Life.

Your creativity and work ethic have impacted the lives of students and have left a permanent mark on their experience here at UCCS.

From hosting Clyde’s Kickoff through a pandemic, meeting students outside of their residence hall for event meetings, and adjusting programming according to changing event regulations on what seemed to be a daily basis, you have forever set a standard on what a student employee can accomplish when working for Student Life. Your “students first” approach aligns with our philosophy and will forever be remembered as one of the top student employees to work in Student Life.
