Messages From Leadership

To be successful, we must closely monitor any potential spread of the Coronavirus within our community, and decision-makers must communicate clearly, quickly and effectively.

I’m very pleased to welcome Todd Adams to the DU community as our new vice chancellor for student affairs. Todd comes to DU from Northwestern University, where he has served as associate vice president and dean of students since 2013.

In the spring, we temporarily paused the search for our new vice chancellor for diversity, equity, and inclusion (VCDEI) after receiving helpful feedback on what our faculty, students, and staff truly want from this role. We learned that DU yearns for a VCDEI that can speak to and represent the breadth of our community. As such, we changed the position description to more accurately reflect this shared goal.
