For the first time in 15 years, there’s a new person at the helm of Colorado’s flagship university.
Justin Schwartz officially took the reins as the University of Colorado Boulder’s chancellor at the beginning of July. Schwartz comes to Boulder with a wealth of experience across public institutions of higher education, previously holding leadership positions at North Carolina State University and Pennsylvania State University. He said that background makes him the perfect person to push CU forward.
“I think having lived in a lot of places and experiencing a wide variety of cultures, both various American domestic cultures, but also global cultures really informs the global mission that Boulder is presenting in terms of sustainability and all different aspects of life,” he told CPR News.
