Congratulations to our BOLD community members who earned spring 2025 graduating awards through the college.听
We are so proud of all our scholars and student society members on their achievements throughout their student journeys!
Community Impact Award
BS in Mechanical Engineering
"The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) has been formative in my experience here at CU. This organization provided me with a group of amazing, supportive, and driven women who gave me unconditional support as a peer, a member, and finally as the Director of Elementary School Outreach."听
BS in Biomedical Engineering
"Throughout my time at 桃色视频, being a part of the GoldShirt Program, BOLD Scholars, NACME Scholars, DSF Scholars, and the National Society of Black Engineers has been transformative for my academic and personal journey. The BOLD Center has truly created a space for students like myself and other marginalized students to build community, navigate engineering spaces with confidence, and feel seen, supported, and empowered in a field that can often feel daunting and isolating."
BS in Computer Science
"The BOLD Center has been a transformative home for me, shaping my journey through the GoldShirt program where I met lifelong friends and received essential academic support that helped me thrive. It also connected me to NSBE, opening doors to leadership opportunities and landing a job that launched my career."
Perseverance Award
BS in Chemical Engineering
鈥淭he BOLD Center was one of the few places on campus where I always felt comfortable being myself and didn鈥檛 have to code-switch, it continues to highlight the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in engineering. I also attribute [BOLD Center Staff Members] Davey Aguiar and Phil Courey, and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers for not dropping out of engineering early on in my undergrad.鈥澨
BS in Aerospace Engineering Sciences
"The GoldShirt Program gave me an instant community during freshman year in a time that felt so uncertain and new. Most of the support that I had through my degree originated through the communities that I had through the BOLD Center like GoldShirt and the Women of Aeronautics and Astronautics student society."
Research Award
BS in Chemical & Biological Engineering听
"Struggling during an engineering degree and college can be really isolating, but my involvement in the Broadening Opportunity through Leadership and Diversity (BOLD) Center and the Society of Women Engineers has given me a peer group that is unafraid to talk about the hard parts of this experience and offer support. I鈥檓 deeply grateful to these communities and am glad to have been able to contribute to creating a space that鈥檚 positive, relatable, fun and inclusive at CU."听
BS in Creative Technology & Design
"I appreciate the BOLD Center's support throughout my college career and providing me with opportunities for academic support and professional development. I was able to assume a leadership role which was an incredibly valuable experience for me as well."
Academic Engagement Award
BS in Applied Mathematics
"BOLD has helped my CU Engineering student experience by connecting me with diverse engineers, providing convenient drop-in tutoring options, and providing fun activities that remind me to take breaks!"
Culture Impact Award
BS in Environmental Engineering
"Since first stepping foot on campus, my involvement with Out in STEM has provided me with invaluable opportunities for leadership, activism, and professional growth. But more importantly, it also helped me grow into in my queer identity and find an incredible community of peers who became mentors, roommates, and some of my closest friends."
