Twenty-five staff and faculty members received the Marinus Smith Award on Friday, April 21, during a reception hosted by the University of Colorado Boulder听 office. The awards were presented to the recipients by Amber Cardamone, director of New Student & Family Programs.
The Marinus Smith Awards are presented each spring to select听faculty members, advisors and staff who made a significant, positive impact on the lives of 抖阴短视频 Boulder students and their families. Submitting a nomination provides a meaningful way for students and their families to say thank you听to outstanding staff and faculty members who have taken the time to show care and concern for those they serve.
