Mom, educator, CU Regent for CD 6. Standing up for students, the truth, and a CU that works for everyone 🦬🖤💛
I’m proud of CU for taking proactive steps to support our community. CU Denver has expanded hours for Milo’s Market and is hosting food pop-ups with grab-and-go meals to ensure students, staff, and faculty have access to essentials during this time.

With the announcement of Rick George's retirement today, I am especially proud of how Rick championed student-athlete well-being. Under his leadership, CU student-athletes posted record GPAs while gaining access to first-in-the-nation mental health and career support. What a remarkable career, Rick!

With 1000's of military affiliated students, faculty, and staff across our campuses, CU is proud of its support for our armed service members.

This Veterans Day, we honor their commitment to our way of life and the significant role they play in being a critical part of tomorrow's local leadership.

Another important step forward for CU and our Colorado communities. CU Denver and Jeffco Public Schools signed a new direct admission agreement for eligible students. These partnerships save time, money, and make the next step after graduation more accessible.

It was great to connect with so many remarkable women leaders at the Aurora Economic Development Council dinner. Aurora remains a crucial partner for CU, and organizations like AEDC are welcoming sustainable growth for Aurora and working to create well-paying jobs for Aurorans.

CU’s economic impact reached $12.2B across Colorado, supporting 15,000+ jobs and driving prosperity through education, health care, and innovation. $3.9B in CD6 alone!

As Regent, I am proud to help support the work that makes this growth possible.

Although the game didn't go our way yesterday, I had still had a great time cheering on the Buffs with our students and alumni! We got the next one!

As Regent, ensuring that CU is an accessible and inclusive education system is a core part of my work. Strengthening transfer pathways helps build a more diverse student community and saves families time and money when joining CU.

I had a wonderful time representing CU at this year’s Americas Leadership Luncheon. This year’s focus on collaboration, the strength of our diversity, and the intersection of technology and inclusion was deeply inspiring, and it was a joy to support CU Boulder’s Raw Groove dancers.

Honored to meet Olympic skater Gracie Gold at the Johnson Depression Center’s Luncheon. Her advocacy for mental health inspires strength and healing. Grateful to join so many working to expand access to care and reduce stigma.

Today truly is one for the history books for both CU and Aurora!

I am so thrilled to have attended the official signing of a critical new partnership between Aurora Public Schools and CU Denver, allowing guaranteed admission for APS students!

Great news! The Anschutz Foundation’s $50M gift aims to transform mental health care. As Regent, student well-being is a top priority, which is why I helped create the Traverse Academy in Aurora, a first-of-its-kind university-K12 partnership supporting youth mental health.

Ralphie VII understood the assignment at her first game! She and her Handlers did a fantastic job, and I’m always proud to support their important role in our game day traditions. Cheering on the Buffs is such a fun way to connect with students, alumni, community leaders, and familiar faces.

It was an honor to join Aurora Public Schools for their annual gala, celebrating and supporting students and their futures.

I am committed to strengthening and expanding partnerships between CU and K–12 schools so every student has a clear pathway to higher education at schools like the CU system.
September 23, 2025 at 9:41 PM
It was great connecting with Phil Weiser, Angela Garland, and Maisha Fields to discuss how we can strengthen support for students throughout their educational journey.

I’m always eager to listen and learn from community leaders to ensure we do everything possible to help every student succeed.

Colorado’s #FreeAppDaysCO are coming up Oct. 7–9.

I’m proud to have helped shape a university that is welcoming and supportive, provides robust financial aid including free tuition for those with the greatest need, and prioritizes student well-being.

At a recent Buffs game, it was wonderful to be joined by former students, current K-12 students, and community leaders.

These games remind me of the incredible value our student-athletes bring and why I’m committed to ensuring all our students are fully supported on and off the field.

Violence has no place in our schools or our democracy. We cannot allow bullets to replace words as the way we settle our differences. Our future depends on standing up for peace, dialogue, and respect over extremism and bloodshed.
September 10, 2025 at 11:49 PM
One of the areas I have focused my energy has been bridging the gap between CU and K-12 by saving students and families time and money.

Looking forward to the expansion of these opportunities to other school districts!

The support of student leaders like Camden Sharkey, Student Body President and a key member of our sports community, makes me proud of the connections I’ve built with students.

I am committed to being an ally and champion for our student-athletes! #SKOBUFFS
