"I am excited to serve as the Aims2UNC transition advisor. The combination of my previous experiences as the International Admissions coordinator at UNC and an academic advisor at Aims have positioned me to assist students in the transfer process from Aims to UNC. I look forward to drawing on the skills I have gained in the field, the knowledge from my graduate program in Adult and Higher Education, as well as my personal experience as a transfer student, to enrich students’ experiences and contribute to the collaboration between Aims and UNC.
As an advisor, I view my role as a guide on students’ journeys through college. I am excited about joining my advisees on their unique trail of learning, exploring, growing and achieving goals. I understand how challenging, but also exciting, transitions can be, and I will serve as a resource, support and mentor on my advisees’ path from Aims to UNC. My hope is to help students maximize their experience at Aims, discover what UNC has to offer, navigate and balance college and life, as well as challenge and encourage them along the way."

"I am excited to be a part of the Aims2UNC program and the endless possibilities of what this partnership can accomplish moving forward. Since I am a native of Northern Colorado and a son of two public educators, it means a great deal to me to help positively impact the local educational landscape. As a graduate of a junior college, a four-year institution and law school, I see great value in utilizing community college courses en route to earning a bachelor’s degree, and pursuing personal and professional goals through various educational opportunities. It is my goal to develop a program that serves Aims2UNC students in an engaging, accessible and effective manner."
About Aims2UNC
Aims and UNC began discussions during the 2018-2019 academic year under the leadership of Aims President, Dr. Leah L. Bornstein and University of Northern Colorado President, Dr. Andy Feinstein. Their discussions centered on the opportunities both Aims and UNC have to combine efforts and innovate in the community. Fall 2019 marks the inaugural cohort of students in the Aims2UNC program. In Fall 2020 and thereafter, the categories of students invited to participate in the program will be expanded.
Both institutions are excited and committed to helping students reach their educational goals in every way possible, and both Aims Community College and the University of Northern Colorado are committed to Colorado’s statewide goal of 66% credential attainment rate by 2025. The development of Aims2UNC concepts and logistics has spanned many months of work by administrators, staff and faculty at both institutions. Everyone involved sincerely hopes that this new program will help improve the quality of life and employment opportunities for all those who participate in it.
