Cindy Bond is a two-time CU alumna. She earned a Bachelor's degree in International
Affairs from CU Boulder in 1982. In 1999, Bond completed her MBA (with an Information Systems focus) from UCCS. She chose to pursue an MBA at UCCS because of the selection of courses available, the affordability, and the familiarity of programs having already attended a CU institution. In 2022, she joined the UCCS scholarship application review volunteer group. She reviewed multiple application groups, including a round of reviews for the Colorado Cybersecurity Apprenticeship Program (C-CAP). Bond was a scholarship recipient during her time at CU and reviewing applications is a way for her to pay it forward to future scholarship recipients.
Besides scholarship reviews, Bond has participated in tree planting and clean-the-creek volunteer opportunities with UCCS. She enjoys volunteering in the great outdoors and is part of a volunteer effort known as Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado (VOC). VOC is dedicated to building trails and enabling volunteers to become stewards of Colorado's natural resources. Bond is retired and enjoys hobbies like traveling, skiing, biking, photography, scuba diving, and volunteering.
Bond's advice to those thinking about volunteering with UCCS is, "Do it. Even if it is a small gesture or volunteer opportunity, please find the time. When you start volunteering you might do it because you think you're giving back, but in return you receive so much more."
