PUEBLO – The Colorado State University Pueblo Foundation and Alumni Association are pleased to announce the 2021 Distinguished Young Alumni awards bestowed upon alumni from each college who are under the age of 40. These individuals have enhanced the reputation of the University and their respective colleges through outstanding professional achievement, personal accomplishment and service to CSU Pueblo and their community.
“Our young alumni are making a significant impact in their community and continually express their gratitude for their education at CSU Pueblo,” said CSU Pueblo Director of Alumni and Community Relations, Tracy Samora. “We are proud to honor their achievements and continued success. It’s an honor to have been part of their journey.”
The College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics’ 2021 Distinguished Young Alumni Recipient is Jeremy Thomas, DDS, A06. Jeremy graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a chemistry minor. Jeremy went on to receive his Doctor of Dental Science from the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine. Jeremy was nominated by Dr. David L. Dillon, Assistant Professor and Chair of the CSU Pueblo Chemistry department.
After graduating from dental school, Jeremy returned to Pueblo and joined the Takaki Dental Care Center as a partner. Upon the retirement of Dr. Takaki, Thomas bought the practice in 2012 and changed its name to Integrity Dental.
