The UCCS community celebrated faculty, staff, students and alumni in the annual Campus Awards Ceremony, held on April 18 in Berger Hall.
“As always, we have had an incredible year here at UCCS,” said Venkat Reddy, Chancellor of UCCS. “There has been so much to celebrate, from breaking ground on the Anschutz Engineering Center to establishing our new Doctor of Physical Therapy program to our recent renaming of the College of Public Service. Our campus has continued to grow, innovate and succeed, and we couldn’t have done it without all of you – so, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of this community.”
