ÍøÆسԹÏ

Danielle Belcher spent her teenage years in Arvada, Colorado. When the former gymnast searched for an in-state college, she found the ÍøÆسԹÏ, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science. Now she’s a first-year student in the Sport and Exercise Science master's program.

A ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï graduate’s dissertation has the potential to change education for nursing students everywhere.

The ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï made key progress in its ongoing exploration of creating a not-for-profit college of osteopathic medicine within the university when Governor Jared Polis signed Senate Bill 56 on Thursday, March 17.

The ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï (ÍøÆسԹÏ) is moving forward with their exploration of creating an osteopathic medical school in Greeley, a not-for-profit enterprise within the university.

This time, more than ever, has served as a reminder of how important it is to give back to those in need throughout the community, and the ÍøÆسԹÏ’s nursing students are doing just that.

ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï students in the Master of Public Health program in 2020 had an unique experience earning a graduate degree online during a global pandemic.

On the heels of the state moving into vaccination Phase 1B.4 on March 19, the local Leprino Foods plant in Greeley contacted the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï (ÍøÆسԹÏ) offering doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccination that were unspoken for during the plant’s March 20 on-site vaccine clinic event.

The Active Schools Institute at the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï has received two grants totaling $125,000 from the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) to improve the quality of physical education and physical activity opportunities for K-12 students in Colorado.

For the third time in 10 years, Jill Bezyak, Ph.D., professor of Human Rehabilitative Services and program coordinator for the Rehabilitation Counseling program at the ÍøÆسԹÏ, has received a five-year, $958,778 grant from the U.S. Department of Education to increase the number of qualified vocational rehabilitation counselors who serve individuals with disabilities.

The university has teamed up with the Colorado Emergency Operations Center and King Soopers to provide drive-thru testing for COVID-19 on campus this month. The service will be offered in the parking lot west of Candelaria Hall on May 14-16, May 21-23 and May 29-30.
