2021 SPRING
METROPOLITAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF DENVER COMMENCEMENT
FRIDAY, MAY 14, 2021 Dear Roadrunners
Congratulations on earning your degree from Metropolitan State University of Denver. You set a goal, worked diligently in the face of unprecedented obstacles and made it to the finish line. It’s time to celebrate!
Let me also extend my gratitude to your family and friends who have cheered you on. Without people to support us in life, we could never succeed.
You are part of a remarkable graduating class: 2,185 students were eligible to receive their degrees this spring — an impressive number of Roadrunners who are on their way to great things. Your resilience in this challenging year is the epitome of Roadrunner tenacity and speaks to your unwavering desire to succeed.
At MSU Denver, we are reimagining what’s possible in higher education through the power of innovation and transformational, real-world learning to build a better tomorrow. We know that higher education is the key factor in providing upward economic and social mobility. That’s why we PHOTO BY MARK WOOLCOTT offer rigorous, accessible and enriching education that prepares students for successful careers, postgraduate education and lifelong learning.
Our students come from every background and experience, embodying the University’s unique spirit and inclusive environment. We have first- generation college students trying to do a little better than their parents, veterans looking to reestablish themselves in the workforce and plenty of people who want to change directions in their careers. Our mission is to meet students where they are in their lives. They may have taken a zigzaggy path to get to college, but they find their way to MSU Denver and graduate as proud Roadrunners.
Today, you join an alumni community of more than 100,000 graduates in our 55 years as an institution. And not just any alumni — scientists working to cure cancer, legislators going to Congress, engineers building equipment to go to Mars, nurses working on the front line of the pandemic and many others who are at the very top of their fields. They are reimagining what is possible in their own lives and engaging our communities. Roadrunners also power the state’s economy, with more than 80% of alumni remaining in Colorado after graduation. In fact, the direct economic impact of their total average wage earned over a 35-year career totals $134.9 billion.
When you leave here today, you’ll start on your next road. I am confident it will take you to places you never expected and, ultimately, to amazing achievements. Please let us know when you get there, so we can brag about your success.
And don’t forget to tell everyone you know that you graduated from MSU Denver!
Sincerely,
Janine Davidson, Ph.D. President

METROPOLITAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF DENVER 2021 SPRING COMMENCEMENT 6 For more than 55 years, Metropolitan State University of Denver has provided high-quality, accessible and relevant education, serving as a proving ground for future leaders and empowering our students to reimagine what’s possible in their lives and careers. The University is an educational hub in Colorado’s beloved capital city, and its influence extends far beyond benefits for our graduates. We power the state’s industries and economy and have sent into the workforce more than 100,000 alumni, 80% of whom stay in Colorado.
We are reimagining opportunity At MSU Denver, we see higher education as the foundation of the American dream. As a Hispanic-Serving Institution, we are profoundly committed to inclusion and serve the most diverse undergraduate- student population in Colorado, and we educate the most first-generation students. Our students come from every background imaginable, and we meet them where they are in their lives and prepare them for postgraduate success. We’re proud to have been recognized by the Military Times for the University’s support of veterans, as well as by the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society for the innovative pathways we provide to transfer students.
We are reimagining excellence With more than 100 majors, eight graduate programs and 34 certificate programs, our blended focus on arts, sciences, humanities, professional studies and civic engagement helps students develop career-ready skills and a deep knowledge of the issues and dynamics that shape the workforce. Those students learn with support from extraordinary faculty members who build hands-on learning into every course. Counted among the faculty ranks of noted academics, national experts and industry icons are a Grammy-nominated jazz musician, the former director of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service and even Colorado’s Science Teacher of the Year. And while only 5% of business colleges worldwide earn AACSB accreditation, our College of Business is one of them.
We are reimagining innovation Great education is always evolving, and MSU Denver is on the cutting edge when it comes to meeting the needs of today’s students and society. Industry and community partnerships such as the One World One Water Center with Denver Botanic Gardens, Individualized Degree Programs, the Classroom to Career Hub, and experiential learning opportunities with companies including Ambient Energy and SpringHill Suites by Marriott are just a few of the ways we prepare students for the workforce. Plus, our Innovative and Lifelong Learning programs offer flexible continuing education to hone skills, earn certifications or expand career options in high-growth industries such as data science and health. For our cutting- edge work, we were named the fifth-most innovative regional university in the West by U.S. News & World Report.

METROPOLITAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF DENVER 2021 SPRING COMMENCEMENT 11 Commencement Speaker: Monica M. Márquez
Monica M. Márquez was sworn in as a Colorado Supreme Court justice Dec. 10, 2010, having been appointed by Gov. Bill Ritter Jr. Before joining the court, Márquez served as deputy attorney general at the Colorado Attorney General’s Office, where she led the State Services section in representing several state executive-branch agencies and Colorado’s statewide elected public officials. Márquez also served as assistant solicitor general and as assistant attorney general in the Public Officials Unit and the Criminal Appellate Section. Before joining the Attorney General’s Office, she practiced general commercial litigation and employment law at Holme Roberts and Owen LLP.
Márquez grew up in Grand Junction. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Stanford University in 1991, then served in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps as an inner-city schoolteacher and community organizer in Camden, New Jersey, and Philadelphia before earning her law degree from Yale Law School in 1997. Upon graduation, she clerked for Judge Michael Ponsor of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts in Springfield, Massachusetts, and for Judge David Ebel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit in Denver.
Márquez is a member of the American Law Institute, the American Bar Association, the Colorado and Denver Bar Associations, the Colorado Women’s Bar Association and the Minoru Yasui Inn of Court. Before joining the court, she served on the boards of the Colorado Hispanic Bar Association, the Colorado LGBT Bar Association and the Latina Initiative and as chair of the Denver Mayor’s LGBT Commission.
She serves as a liaison justice to the Office of Attorney Regulation and its related committees and as chair of the Water Court Rules Committee. Márquez is a co-leader of the Bench Dream Team, a group of judges dedicated to diversity and inclusion in Colorado’s judicial system. She also serves as chair of the Colorado Supreme Court’s Task Force on Lawyer Well-Being. Márquez and several law clerks helped coach La Academia’s mock-trial team from 2014 until 2018, when the alternative high school closed its doors. She regularly mentors students and aspiring young lawyers, including a first-generation Latina college student with Law School Yes We Can.
For her career of service, Márquez has been recognized with the Colorado LGBT Bar Association’s 2009 Outstanding LGBT Attorney Award, Davis Graham and Stubbs LLP’s 2009 Richard Marden Davis Award, the Yale Latino Law Student Association’s 2011 Public Service Award, the Latinas First Foundation’s 2014 Trailblazer Award, the Hispanic National Bar Foundation’s 2017 Judicial Leadership Award and the Asian Pacific American Bar Association of Colorado’s 2019 Minoru Yasui Community Service Award.
When not working or volunteering, Márquez enjoys hiking with her spouse and partner of over 20 years, Sheila Barthel, and playing endless games of fetch with their boisterous yellow Lab, Tegan.
METROPOLITAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF DENVER 2021 SPRING COMMENCEMENT 12 Nayeli Cisneros Saucedo, President’s Award Winner
It seems that any time the word “can’t” is spoken, Nayeli Cisneros Saucedo never hears the “t” at the end.
“I remember people telling me I can’t apply for FAFSA, or student loans, and that I couldn’t go to college without a Social Security number” said Saucedo, who is 20 and will graduate from Metropolitan State University of Denver debt-free in May with a 4.0 GPA in Psychology as the 2021 President’s Award winner. “I didn’t take no for an answer, and it worked out.”
It’s not surprising she chose to major in Psychology. She learned early on that life can be harsh and that maintaining good mental health is vital. Saucedo was brought to the U.S. from Mexico at age 8 to escape violence. She recalled that as a child in Mexico she would see in the news that women in her neighborhood were being raped and killed.
“My mom would explain to me how challenging it was to live there, that people could always hurt us, especially for being women, and how much trauma she had experienced as a child,” Saucedo said. “This is when I realized that it was not only about being physically healthy but it was also about being mentally healthy as well, in order to live an optimal quality of life.”
When Saucedo was 7, armed gangsters stormed her older brother’s high school. Her mother rushed to the school with her and her baby brother in the back seat.
“We could hear the gunshots,” she said. “My mom told us to hide under the car seat, and she went looking for my brother. After a few minutes, she came back, but she didn’t find him. We left and ended up waiting for two hours before we learned he was safe. This is the type of fear we would experience while living there.”
And even when her family made it to the U.S., Saucedo said, times remained tough.
“I think the toughest thing knowing I was undocumented and feeling like I wasn’t wanted in this country – that was discouraging,” she said.
Her family had no access to health care and was too afraid to accept or receive any government or public help when times got hard, Saucedo said.
“My mom never hid anything from me,” she said. “She’d always remind us that we could be sent back to Mexico at any time and that we could lose everything. It taught me to always appreciate what I have and that if I worked hard, I could be successful here.”
Saucedo has clearly proved that.
Last September, she received the right to legally work in the United States. And this spring, she plans to interview about attaining permanent status. “That would open more doors for me,” she said.
Saucedo, who plans to earn her doctorate in Psychology, credited MSU Denver for providing support to help her earn her degree.
“(MSU Denver) has so many programs that are helpful, that are made for us (immigrants) and that help us in all aspects, from academic to legal support and even emotional support,” she said. “It’s amazing what the University has done for us.”
As part of her winning the President’s Award, Saucedo will speak to her fellow graduates. She said she is excited and nervous about speaking to her fellow graduates.
“I’ve worked hard to get where I am now, so I want to share my story. I want to let everyone know that anybody can do what I did,” she said. “There’s a belief that undocumented students can’t go to college, and I want to be part of the living proof that this is possible, that we all – undocumented or not – have the right to higher education.”
METROPOLITAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF DENVER 2021 SPRING COMMENCEMENT 13 Derek Brekken, Provost’s Award Winner
How does a high school dropout end up winning one of Metropolitan State University of Denver’s highest awards for student achievement?
Meet Derek Brekken, who’s happy to tell you how. It’s his story. In fact, it was while he was at MSU Denver that he discovered and sharpened his natural talent for telling stories. It has transformed his life.
But yes, starting out, life wasn’t nearly as good as it is now for Brekken, who has just been named MSU Denver’s Spring 2021 Provost’s Award winner.
“I dropped out of high school when I was 17,” Brekken said. “Dropping out wasn’t an uncommon experience in my neighborhood. And I spent the next 10 years of my life learning things the hard way.”
Brekken, who grew up in Security, near Colorado Springs, said that decade was filled with bouncing around in entry-level positions in landscaping, health care, printing and customer service.
“And during that time, fear was the primary factor motivating my decisions,” he said. “Fear of failure. Fear of success. Fear limited my ability to identify purpose and commit to anything meaningful for long enough to experience a benefit. At some point, I realized nothing would change unless I did.”
He started that commitment with education, enrolling at MSU Denver in 2018, at first studying journalism.
“I really value the role journalists play in helping inform their community on the issues that matter,” he said, “and MSU Denver’s documentary-journalism program stood out.”
But after a few of the required public-relations classes, Brekken learned that the value of storytelling within organizations also shapes communities.
“When you combine that revelation with the passion, talent and skill of the PR instructors, it’s easy to see how my transition into the PR program took shape,” he said.
Brekken, 31, who’ll graduate in May with a degree in PR and a 3.95 GPA, said eventually the value of education “emerged as a road map” to personal accountability and new motivations.
“Shedding the belief that someone from a low-income, single-parent household wasn’t capable of success took me a while,” he said, “but I’ve come to learn that identifying your values, taking personal accountability and accepting change can make what I want to accomplish possible.”
He said MSU Denver gave him plenty of hands-on training through curricula, student organizations and clubs.
“For me, my time at the Office of Student Media, or Met Media, stands out as one of the places that offered me a ton of practical experience in the media world,” Brekken said.
There, he hosted a podcast that highlighted MSU Denver leaders including President Janine Davidson, Ph.D., and many others.
He then rose to the general-manager post at Met Radio, a role that he says allowed him to support students in developing their own practical experience in podcasting and radio. The Met Radio job then led to an internship at United Launch Alliance, the country’s most experienced space-launch service provider, where he produced, edited and hosted a seven-part series introducing the company’s newest launch vehicle.
On winning the Provost’s Award, Brekken said he’s “humbled to be recognized … and I feel extremely supported by the University.”
“My mom told me she hopes winning the award helps me to see myself in the way that others do. She practically forced me to apply for the award in the first place,” he said.
After he graduates, Brekken plans to attend law school and hopes to work in media law.
“But I am open to future opportunities and excited to see what’s next,” he said. “I also feel I have a responsibility to show the world what an MSU Denver Provost’s Award winner is capable of.”
