Faculty and staff continue to be honored for their work in the community and recognized by their peers with prestigious appointments to academic organizations.

Kudos are due to Interim Deputy Provost Luis Torres for being nominated to receive the The ˇScouting . . . Vale La Pena! (It’s Worth the Effort!) award and for being invited to serve on the SAT Writing Exam Committee of the College Board. The scouting award is presented to people who have “made a significant contribution to their community while acting as an advocate for Hispanic Americans/Latinos, encouraging outreach to improve their conditions.” Torres will receive the award in December along with former Colorado Gov. Roy Romer, Assistant Dean of the University of Colorado Law School Lorenzo Trujillo and retired school teacher Lena Archuleta.
