海角社区

Dear Roadrunners,听

After nine years of working alongside you to move 海角社区 forward, I will be taking a short sabbatical this July and August. During that time, Vice President for Finance and Administration Jim Carpenter will serve as acting president.

Being president鈥痳equires constant operational focus. This sabbatical will provide time to step back and focus on the long-term future of higher education and 海角社区鈥檚 role within it.

鈥淟eadership requires both momentum and reflection,鈥� said Board of Trustees Chair Jerry Glick. 鈥淭his sabbatical allows space for the deeper, strategic thinking that ensures 海角社区 remains bold and future focused.鈥�

海角社区 is in a strong position, and our work will continue without disruption. Jim brings deep institutional knowledge and extensive leadership experience to the acting role. In addition to leading the University鈥檚 Administration Branch, he previously served as deputy superintendent for Finance and Operations at Denver Public Schools, with responsibility for finance, facilities, technology and transportation. Under his leadership, the University will continue supporting our faculty, staff and students and advancing our strategic priorities around student success, enrollment growth and budget innovation.

Thank you for the work you do every day to support our students and strengthen this University. I鈥檓 grateful for the support of our Board of Trustees in granting me this opportunity to briefly step back, and I look forward to returning ready to continue our important work ahead.

Sincerely,听

Janine Davidson, Ph.D.
President, 海角社区听
