Kayla Gronseth Boyer followed a nontraditional path in her UCCS career, but that didn't stop her from donating her time and talents to her university in multiple volunteer activities. After she got her associate's degree at Pikes Peak State College, Gronseth Boyer then transferred to UCCS so she could get her bachelor's degree at a four-year college. She completed her master's degree in organizational strategic communications soon after. During her time as a student at UCCS, Gronseth Boyer worked on campus as a tutor at the Writing Center and as a graduate peer mentor for Communications students. She says that working on campus helped her meet all kinds of people and helped her get more involved with the university.
Gronseth Boyer is now the eComm program manager for UCCS. She takes up any possible opportunity to help the university that comes her way. When asked why she chooses to volunteer, Gronseth Boyer explains, "Because I care about the university. It helped me get to where I am today, and I want to pay it all back. It also feels nice to help people!" Some of her volunteer history includes tree planting in 2021 and helping with Grad Fair. Her favorite so far would have to be Grad Fair. She says that seeing all the excited students and being there for that important milestone reminds her of her own experience at that time as a UCCS student.
In her free time, Gronseth Boyer enjoys hiking, camping, exercising, and gardening. She invites everyone to give volunteering at UCCS a try, because "it can be as little of a task or as big of a task for whatever you want. There's something for everyone!"
