Tiana Kennedy is a Associate Vice President for Communications at Colorado State University. Colleagues describe her as "I have had the immense privilege of being Tiana’s colleague since Oct. 2012 at Colorado State University and fellow volunteer since May 2013 at PawsCo, an animal rescue organization. Tiana is the consummate professional who takes great pride in representing both her employer and various volunteer organizations. We’ve had the opportunity to work on numerous projects together, including the largest ever Rams at the Rockies baseball game in 2015. Because of Tiana’s thorough marketing plan, as well as her outreach across CSU, this event welcomed over 1,400 alumni and community members in Denver, nearly doubling our next largest attendance record. What I appreciate most about working with Tiana is that she exemplifies a servant-leader as someone who elevates everybody around her with energy, drive, commitment, and enthusiasm. Tiana lives by the philosophy, “Do what you can, when you can.” This is best seen in her management of PawsCo, which is entirely dependent on the support of volunteers and donors. Tiana makes giving back feel so very rewarding. Many people are involved with PawsCo not only because of their love for animals, but because of their respect for Tiana and how easy she makes it to get and stay involved. Tiana is a pleasure to work with, an invaluable asset to any organization, and one of the finest humans you will ever meet. " and "Working with Tiana is a breath of fresh air in the business environment. She works efficiently, putting energy and time into things that matter while respecting all opinions and input. Tiana gets results through her efforts and leads a group with several moving parts, effortlessly."
