From the Bear Network

UNC alumni and donors are known for their generous hearts. Every year, our students and community are beneficiaries of the time, talent and mentorship of those who give back. There are hundreds of ways that donors directly impact students. In the case of the Cumbres program, those students are future English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers.

For the last 10 years Terry Vice ‘79 has been living a dream he never knew he had, working as a facility manager for U.S. Embassies abroad.

For the second year in a row, a UNC Alumna has been selected as the Colorado Teacher of the Year. Margaret "Meg" Cypress, BS '02, a fifth-grade teacher from Bradley International School in Denver, has been awarded the top honor.

UNC's spring Teacher Employment Days welcomed alumni and recruiters from as far away as Hawaii, to campus in an effort to fill much needed teaching positions in school districts across the country.

Congratulations to 2003 education alumna Christina Gillette Randall named the 2018 Colorado Teacher of the Year.

With an national shortage of educators, UNC is living up to its mission in finding new ways to train and place our region's educators.
