Where are you from and what brought you to CO (if not a CO native)?

I moved to Colorado from Alabama in 2021 post-grad with my best friend. We graduated at the beginning of the pandemic, and it seemed like a fun adventure!

B.S.B.A Marketing

Favorite thing about CU Denver?

I love the diversity of students that I get to meet and interact with daily. There is a space and place for everyone on our campus regardless of your background or identity.

Top tips for incoming students

Join at least two clubs! Join one for academic interest and one just for fun. This will allow you to make connections/ friends inside of your designated school as well as around campus. My closet friends from college were all made because I showed up to a club meeting!

Favorite downtown hobby/attraction/restaurant/venue/etc.?

About Beth

You can find me spending most of my time outdoors (camping or hiking), going to concerts, hanging out with my dog, or binge-watching Yellowstone.

Where are you from any what brought you to CO (if not a CO native): 

I was born and raised in San Jose, California. My first time in Colorado was to attend the LYNX National Arts and Media camp while I was still in high school. From that moment forward I knew this was the school for me, and I moved to attend CU Denver in 2017. 

Major/ Field of study in counselor’s undergrad?

I graduated with a BA in Psychology with a Minor in Philosophy from CU Denver in 2021.

Favorite thing about CU Denver:

I love that instead of throwing our tuition money toward expensive stadiums and other flashy selling points, CU Denver puts their funding into great programs that help students find success both during and after graduation. It really feels like the smartest economical decision I ever made.   

Tips for incoming students: 

Sign up for an FYE/UNIV class in your first semester. If you don't know what this is, please ask your advisor when registering for classes. These classes include a student-employee that will help you find ways to get involved, connect you to campus resources, and advocate for your success however possible. It really is the best way to get introduced to our University and ensure your success. 

Favorite dowtown hobby/attraction/restaurant/venue/etc? 

Definitely the Mercury Cafe. Live music, dance classes, ethically sourced food, and a thriving, welcoming community of kind-hearted people. 

About Will: 

I love to see as much live music as possible, especially my musician friends who play downtown a lot. I try to be very outdoorsy, so when I find the chances, I love to go backpacking, camping, mountain biking or hiking. I'm a huge fan of Jazz, R&B, and Grunge/Post Grunge music.

Where are you from any what brought you to CO (if not a CO native):

I am originally from India and moved to the States in 2013 and have been native to Flagstaff, AZ for 6 years.  I moved to CO from Flagstaff Arizona recently to grow professionally and personally. Another reason to move to Denver is its diverse beauty and lively community vibe as well as a broad and fun opportunity to grow in different parts of society. My multiple experiences in working with higher education brought me to work with CU Denver as an Admission counselor. I have been an Administration assistant for the Center for International Education and an Academic Advisor, and I love working with students to help them choose the right path for their big college experience. And there won’t be a better place to be than CU Denver and I am very excited to be here.

Interior Design

Favorite thing about CU Denver: 

The location. CU Denver is beautifully located in the heart of downtown which opens multiple amazing doors from food to working opportunities to engaging with the fun downtown community. Another thing I admire a lot about CU Denver is its urban campus itself. What a vibrant and beautiful campus to work for. 

Tips for incoming students:  

Never get afraid, ask questions, and explore opportunities. As my co-worker Beth Moore says, explore two clubs while you are here: one for academic related and one for fun. College is not just all about studies and getting a good GPA; it is a huge part of your life experience where you will learn about relationships, society, your own hidden talents, lifetime friends and most importantly you will learn about your own self. So go out there and explore and you will succeed; not just in academics but in life.
