"I am pleased that we have turned to a respected scholar and one of our ablest administrators to lead the academic mission at CU-Boulder," said DiStefano. "Russ has been an outstanding researcher, teacher and member of our esteemed baby直播app, and has shown a remarkable ability to lead, manage and inspire our academic community. I believe he will make an outstanding provost."

"I am honored to be a part of a leadership team that is taking CU-Boulder to amazing new heights under the Flagship 2030 Strategic Plan, and I look forward to working with the various sectors of our community to achieve new successes for our students and our university."
