Meet the Staff
Susan Stafford: Director of Off-Campus Housing & Neighborhood Relations
I have worked in Off-Campus Housing since 1988 and have been the director since 2002. Boulder is a terrific place to live and can be very captivating; when I moved here in 1986, I thought I would only be staying for one year! I have a son who attends CU so I am a good parent resource as well as a good housing resource.
Susan Barkman: Community Outreach Specialist
I transferred to CU for my junior year and decided not to leave. After graduating in 2007 I became the Community Outreach Specialist for Off-Campus Housing & Neighborhood Relations. My position helps educate students on living in the off-campus environment, including city of Boulder ordinances and how to avoid bad living situations. In my free time I enjoy hiking and photography.
Michelle Willett: Marketing Publications Coordinator
As my title might suggest, it’s my responsibility to make sure students, parents and landlords know ALL there is to know about our tiny, yet exceedingly valuable, office. Originally from Massachusetts, and a lover of dance and clam chowdah, I have truly enjoyed working in Boulder for the past three years. Expect to see more of Off-Campus Housing around campus and Boulder!
Bruce: Student Attorney
I was born and raised in Boulder and know all about the Boulder neighborhoods. I also know landlord/tenant law and I’m available through OCH for legal advice on leases, roommate issues, repair issues, security deposits, and just about any other issue that can arise in a rental situation. I’m also the Chairman of the Landlord/Tenant Advisory Board (you should check that out) and work with the City of Boulder on various committees and issues regarding student rental issues. If you live off-campus in a rental unit, we need to talk.
Richa: Student Ambassador
Hey all! My name is Richa and I'm a freshman here at CU Boulder studying International Affairs. I am from our very own Boulder, Colorado, and simply could not bring myself to leave! When I'm not working hard at the office, I enjoy doing yoga, exploring some fine dining in Boulder, and hiking. I'm excited to help fellow students with anything I can, let me know if there's something you need!
Michelle: Student Staff
Hi! My name is Michelle and I'm from a suburb of Chicago. All though I am from Chicago, I know a lot about Boulder as a junior at CU. My older sister lived in Boulder and went to CU, so before attending school here, I knew a lot about Boulder already. So, if you have any questions I'd be glad to help out. I am an International Affairs major with a minor in Economics, but I am not sure what I want to do once I graduate. If I'm not working or at class, I'm snowboarding, hiking, out with friends, at concerts, or watching trashy reality TV shows.
Andrew: Student Staff
Hi my name is Andrew and I am a freshmen studying Biochemistry here at CU. I was born and raised here in Colorado and I hope one day to become a pediatrician. But until then, I am just trying to get through my undergrad. I look forward to working for Off-Campus Housing and helping you with any needs or concerns.
