STUDENTS SHINE AT UCCS

Levino Johnson overcame with grit and determination.
Class of 2016
“I knew I wanted to do something more than I was doing, but I was nervous. I knew UCCS was a pretty great school. They fostered an environment of openness, which allowed me to dive deeper into my field of study. I learned at UCCS what it means to be a public servant.”
