We spent the evening&nbsp;celebrating&nbsp;graduated seniors and welcoming&nbsp;new scholars to the program. The scholars were joined by their&nbsp;families, Dean of the School of Education and Distinguished Professor Lorrie Shepard, Director of CU Engage Ben Kirshner, Assistant Dean for Advancement Margot Neufeld,&nbsp;Puksta Foundation Executive Director John Mulstay,&nbsp;Puksta Foundation Treasurer NiChel Meis, and&nbsp;Puksta Advisers Roudy Hildreth, Jen Korbelik, and Elaina Verveer.</p><p>The highlight of the evening was hearing the graduating seniors Juedon Kebede, Chelsea Canada, Daniel Sharkey, and Katie Raitz&nbsp;recount their Puksta journeys. &nbsp;Each graduating senior received&nbsp;the coveted marble buffalo statue courtesy of the University of Colorado Foundation and a hand-woven Puksta graduation cord courtesy of NiChel Meis. We were also thrilled that our seniors could pass the baton, so to speak, to incoming scholars Emma Piller,&nbsp;Angelica Swanson,&nbsp;Alondra Palomino and Aria Dellepiane.&nbsp;</p><p class="text-align-right">Slide photos courtesy of Kristen Davidson</p></div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content-media ucb-article-content-media-right col-lg"> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--media paragraph--view-mode--default"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Thu, 18 Jun 2015 23:58:36 +0000 Anonymous 42 at /puksta
