As the University Communications department continues to work on the CU Denver brand refresh, the team would like to highlight four or five\u00a0current\u00a0students, faculty, staff, or alumni that embody the diversity, strength, and vibrancy.
\n
\nThe team is looking for people to feature that, yes, have a compelling story to share, but can trace their successes, joy, and wonder to a specific catalyst or moment.\u00a0Perhaps it\u00a0was overcoming a hardship. Or a professor who inspired them.\u00a0Or the day when they realized how they wanted to make a contribution to their community.
\n
\nIt could\u00a0be someone who is\u00a0the first person in their family to go to college, or a working parent striving to make a better life for their children, or an emerging engineer, filmmaker, scientist, or civic leader who wants to change their community.
\n
\nThe branding team wants to discover how CU Denver helped them on that journey. For example, as part of the Detour mural project, the team shared Will Mundo\u2019s story. A first-generation college student and first-generation American, Mundo watched his father\u00a0provide\u00a0medical care in his community and was inspired to go into medicine. At CU Denver, Mundo talked about a specific moment in a CU Denver classroom when he realized that he could tie his interest in social justice to a career in healthcare. Now a doctor, he is still passionate about health equity\u2014and CU Denver helped make that connection happen.
\n
\nPlease think broadly: The team is looking for people who are unforgettable, even if they may not graduate with honors and individuals who reflect our community and people who will inspire future generations to enroll at CU Denver.
\n
\nPlease\u00a0submit\u00a0story ideas to julia.cummings@ucdenver.edu by Wed. June 21, or sooner with as much background as possible. Julia will keep a list of all the suggestions that come in and bring that list to Dean Lynn.
\n
\n*UCOMM\u00a0will use your suggestions to\u00a0create a library of stories\u00a0ideas during brand launch and after brand launch.
\n
