Michael Kirkpatrick

Michael Kirkpatrick serves as a Student and Faculty Support Specialist for the University of  Northern Colorado College of Osteopathic Medicine, and is a recent alumnus of UNC, as of May 2025. An active student leader, Michael supported several areas within student life, ranging from student government to housing, even volunteering with the cultural and resource centers on campus.

As a lifelong learner, Michael believes in an equity-minded approach to make both systems and processes more inclusive and accessible. Seeing how both UNC and the student organizations he was a part of supported him, Michael aims to help make UNC feel like a place students can call home.

He is always willing to stop and have a conversation, take a break to laugh, and is proud to embody the phrase, “Once a Bear, Always a Bear!”
