What Our Students Are Saying

Anna Faye Hunter
Class of 2013
“I didn’t plan on getting involved or doing a show at UCCS, but my cousin pushed me to do so. I got into the show and made all my best friends. And I was really happy. I ended up loving my time at UCCS. My resume is now more extensive than it has ever been, and it gives me consistent opportunities because when you do one thing, it opens up so many avenues. Great things happen in places like Colorado Springs.”
