Adam Spears (pictured left above) has built a dynamic career at CU Anschutz over the past seven years, evolving from a CU Print Services driver to his current role as parking program assistant for Facilities Management. His journey reflects the campus’s commitment to growth and opportunity, a sentiment echoed by his entire family – six members strong – who all work at CU Anschutz across various departments. From his mother, Shana, in the CU Cancer Center to his wife, Sylvia, at the Colorado School of Public Health, the Spears family exemplifies how CU Anschutz fosters a sense of purpose, community and advancement.
