 Alice enhances wellness on campus and the community through her caring and nurturing nature, and is a definite ‘giver’ of her time and talents. She and her family regularly volunteer for service trips each spring, and she founded and directs the bereavement group on CU’s campus, as well as the group at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church. Alice is well known throughout campus and has helped countless faculty and staff improve their computer skills through the various courses that she teaches.
