CLASS NOTES

We invite you to share your favorite accomplishments, whether a promotion, publication, new job, new house, or a new baby. Tell us (or show us—photo or video submissions are encouraged) what you’ve done since graduation.

Submitted and approved class notes will be featured here on CSU Pueblo’s Alumni website and social media.
