Colorado University names new vice chancellor for research at its Boulder campus.
Colorado University Boulder has named Terri Fiez (pictured) as its new vice chancellor for research.
Currently director of strategic initiatives at Oregon State University’s (OSU) Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department, Fiez will begin her work at Boulder in September.
Since joining OSU in 1999, Fiez has held a number of roles in the engineering department, has served as CEO for an OSU spin-out firm, and launched an industry relations programme which now hosts 400 industry visitors per year.
Russell Moore, Colorado University Boulder provost, said: “Terri Fiez has an extraordinary track record of not only research and leadership, but also of developing strong partnerships with industry and federal agencies. The search committee and I were captivated by her vision, energy and strong abilities in extending the benefits of university research to public and private sector partners, and her commitment to fostering entrepreneurship and innovation. She will be a great fit for CU-Boulder.”
