阿伦米. Selu Special Education Memorial Endowment

The Fund is established to provide financial assistance in the form of scholarships for University students entering into the field of special education.

阿伦M. Selu Special Education Memorial Endowment was established by Arlen’s husband and Metropolitan State University of 丹佛 alumnus, 艾迪·雷耶斯(1997年). 阿伦培养, 珍惜, and celebrated relationships with people, 动物, and the natural world with which she surrounded herself; material things mattered not. 在她职业生涯的早期, she worked tirelessly with physically and mentally disabled children as a special education teacher with the 丹佛 Public Schools. When the job became physically too demanding, she left the field of teaching and went to graduate school to earn a master’s degree in Psychotherapy. Arlen worked at Maria Droste 咨询中心, developing lasting friendships with her peers along the way. During the last decade of her life, Arlen established her own psychotherapy practice, often taking on more pro-bono patients than those able to pay. Her career exemplified all that made Arlen a unique and unforgettable person: compassion, 无条件的爱, 幽默, 宽恕, courage … an advocate for the “little guy and gal” along with a healthy dose of chutzpah. Arlen was also an outdoor enthusiast who loved the Colorado mountains and outdoors activities like backpacking, tent camping and traveling in a camper with her beloved husband Eddy. After she was diagnosed with stage four cancer of her lungs, Arlen died within the same year and forever will be missed by all those she touched so deeply.
