MESSAGE FROM OUR CHANCELLOR
“At UCCS, we are deeply committed to supporting our veterans, active-duty service members, and military families, and to making our campus a place where we can support those who have dedicated their lives to supporting our country. We strive to ensure that they receive the support, respect, and care they need to thrive. The singular experiences of our military affiliated community members bring a profound impact to our Mountain Lion family. Though the debt we owe to our veterans and service-members can never truly be repaid, we can work to honor their service by advocating for their well-being and long-lasting success”
-Jennifer
Sobanet, Chancellor
Inclusive Culture & Belonging

We foster a supportive campus environment that embraces a culture of belonging, engagement, and learning for all, including individuals with intersecting backgrounds, social identities, abilities, and cultures.
MOSAIC & LGTBQ+ RESOURCE CENTER
The Multicultural Office for Student Access, Inclusiveness and Community (MOSAIC) and the LGBTQ+ Resource Center support students across cultures, gender identities and sexual orientations on campus while creating opportunities for all UCCS students to celebrate diversity, create community and become inclusive leaders. The MOSAIC Office, established in 2003, is a student advocated support service designed to cultivate the holistic development of students at UCCS.
