“On behalf of the CSFD, I cannot thank you enough for your generous offer of respite housing for the firefighters… Everything that UCCS provided was top notch…I was overwhelmed by their attention to detail to ensure that our stays in your facilities were nothing short of outstanding. I spoke to several firefighters who used your rooms; they were very grateful for a cool room, a quiet place and a comfortable bed for even a few hours between shifts.”

Thank you again, your support is very much appreciated!

“On another note…I can’t say enough about how helpful and responsive all of the UCCS staff were that I had contact with. The efforts of the University personnel helped tremendously in making the best of what was a truly awful situation for so may people. They all did a fabulous job.” Kurt SchroederPark Operations and Development Manager

Dear Chancellor Pam, Thank you so much for allowing us to evacuate to the dorms last night. I did not expect it since we live quite close to I25 in Rockrimmon (although we could see the spectacular flare ups from our deck at 5pm). We were packed but we did not have anyone we felt we could ask for a place to crash-so I was planning on getting to my office and sleeping on the floor-so the offer of a dorm room from Ralph was wonderful. When we arrived at about 9pm, campus was a bit of a mess since half of COS decided the area in front of the rec center was the absolute perfect viewing point. Therefore, please extend my thanks especially to Susan, who was running around managing and directing, both last night and before 6am this morning
The kids working in the housing office in Monarch. They did a great job on short notice. And they are still at it! The free night made it much less stressful. And I have now learned it has been extended to 3 free nights. Thank you and the leadership team very much!
Jim Spice and crew, who had to deal with the non-UCCS crowd and all the frantic evacuees. They did, and continue to do, a great job. Cheers, sandy (Berry-Lowe) Assoc Prof, BiologyMSc advisor

Please pass along my sincere thanks to your entire team, including the army of volunteers, that assisted us last night. Thank you doesn't quite seem to express just how grateful all of us are to our friends at UCCS. I imagine I will need to call upon you again in the days and months ahead. So, please know how much we value our partnership and friendship. Should we be able to do anything for you, just say the word. Wishing you a good day, Laura NeumannChief of Staff to the Mayor
