Senior Class of 2026
Brian Vu
"There’s gonna be another day." That is the mantra Brian carries with him as he graduates. Through Colorado LiftED, Brian learned to embrace rejection as fuel for growth, building the self-assurance to show up as his best self in every space he enters.
The Next Chapter: Brian is heading to Stanford University to study Public Policy! He’s looking forward to joining gardening clubs and building a lifelong community of friends to share the journey with.
Claudia Puga
"At the end of the day, the day has to end." To Claudia, this philosophy is a reminder that no matter how tough a day is, tomorrow is a fresh start—and a reminder to stay present and enjoy the moment.
Through Colorado LiftED, Claudia transformed from being "closed off and shy" to a confident communicator who loves meeting new people. She credits our community building and networking events with giving her the jumpstart on the life skills she needs for her future.
The Next Chapter: Claudia is heading to Colorado State University to study Political Science/Public Policy! Her ultimate goal is to attend law school and become an attorney for the underrepresented.
