Thank You Wall

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the CU Anschutz community has united in common purpose and become stronger than ever.

Below are words of gratitude and appreciation left by members of our community.

I want to show my most sincere gratitude for the tireless, relentless, continuous effort of the CU Anschutz COVID-19 Team. Our case investigators, data miners, task force students, nurses, medical director Dr. Brian Montague and volunteers have not missed a day of work since the team launched in mid-2020 and continue to monitor state and national conditions, administer guidance, and be a resource for our community. Watching our team never give up, even during the spikes when one person may be handling 30 cases at any given time, has been humbling and inspiring. I am so proud of each member of our team and want to give them the most public THANK YOU that I can!

Kimberlyn Cook

Pandemic Campus Coordinator
Words cannot express the gratitude for the innumerable heroic efforts you have made on behalf of humanity. Research or practice, it doesn't matter -- human life has benefited from your work. THANK YOU!

A huge Thank You to all who kept us safe throughout these difficult times. Your heroism and bravery is a thing of beauty. Thank you to all who made this new building possible. It also is a thing of beauty and a magnificent addition to our campus.

So much goes on behind the scenes to keep life moving throughout campus. Thank you to all that do what is necessary to allow life to thrive in such trying times!!

Justin Juvera

Senior Professional Research Assistant
The Colgan Lab has been such a wonderful place to work these past three years, even through the pandemic. I looked forward to coming to work every day!

Emily Murphy

Research Assistant
I would like to personally thank my team, who tirelessly pivoted again and again when the covid conditions were ever-changing. Tim, Hana, Joy, Lia, Sarah, Jason, and Jules. I also would like to thank Kevin Anthony, our IT Manager, who was present in the office every single day to make sure that all of us could shift our jobs to electronic work as much as needed! I think our whole center would have fallen apart if it weren't for him! Finally, I would like to thank our Center Co-Director, Mike Wang. Without him at the helm, I think that our center would have floundered in a big way.

Kristi Norton

Research Services Program Manager
Thank you to everyone I haven't met in-person yet in the Pulmonary Division for making me feel so welcome in my new role! Thank you to everyone working in the ICUs with the Covid patients and for allowing the rest of us to work from home and feel safe there. Thank you to all of the leaders who kept us posted with regular updates on the Covid numbers and what to expect on campus, in particular, Chancellor Don Elliman.

During the pandemic, the Division of Urology faculty and staff have been a tremendous support system. Thank you for being such a fantastic team to work with!

I want to thank everyone who made it possible to work from home and stay safe. I especially want to thank Dr. Eva Burger and the Department of Orthopedics for keeping the lines of communication open, the opportunity to work from home, the care and commitment shown to the entire department during this unprecedented time. I'm proud to work with such a great group of people.

I'd like to give a shout out to the instructors who really gave their all to our cohort before and during the online-study classes; Patrick Luna, Dr. Crownover and the numerous others who made learning less lonely.
