Student Success Stories

Missy Uveges

Class of 2019

"Upon graduating, I had already had multiple interviews scheduled before my licensing exam in June, the most important being the interview with Memorial Central's ICU. I was offered the job at Memorial Central just before my testing date in June, leaving me the most anxious human being on the planet. However, I passed, and I began my New Grad orientation in July 2019."

Levino Johnson

Class of 2016

“In the military, you’re basically a public servant for the nation. I learned at UCCS what it means to be a public servant,” Levino said, giving advice to anybody who thinks college is an insurmountable challenge. “Dig deep. You have to find that fire in your stomach. Grab onto whatever you have there and use it to pull yourself through.”

Levino Johnson overcame with grit and determination. He’s now forging a path as a public servant.

After serving for 12 years in the Army, Levino Johnson wanted to continue his path as a public servant. He found UCCS taught him all the skills he needed to be confident in the field.

Adam Byrnes

Class of 2018

"I'm very proud of myself to have gotten my master's while balancing work, school, and living in a new environment. It was tough, and many days were hard on me physically and mentally. However, I pulled through and even with COVID-19, I was able to receive my master’s degree and receive a job offer that serves as a huge transition and boost for my career!"

Kaleen Masse

Class of 2016

“All of my professors at UCCS wanted to help me with my future career,” she said, “not just help me achieve good grades while a student.”

Anna Cordova

Classes of 2006, 2016

“I had 100 questions for my professor every day. I was doing field work all by myself, and there was a big learning curve. The patience she had to have, and it’s not like I was her only student. I realize how lucky I was to have the opportunities I did as a student.”

Annie Hallis

Class of 2020

“My advice to any student is don’t feel like you have to rush and don’t let anything stop you. After all, it’s the journey to success that can be so rewarding. Being a part of something that is making a big difference within a person’s life, surrounding lives, and even the world is so incredible.”
