PHOTOS: Three cheers for BRAVO award winners

The Student Affairs’ branch recognizes team members who help the community thrive.

The Office of Student Affairs at Metropolitan State University of Denver hosted the BRAVO! Awards on Dec. 5, recognizing outstanding staff members and teams who have gone above and beyond in their roles. Nominations were submitted by peers, and winners were selected by the Student Affairs Leadership Team.

This year’s celebration had a unique concert theme — featuring an exciting VIP meet and greet with Lady Gaga and Sia for our dedicated team of 230+ professional staff.
