A new charge for leadership at �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder

Megan M Rogers — Mon, 17 Aug 2026 15:11:33 +0000

A new charge for leadership at �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder Megan M Rogers Mon, 08/17/2026 - 09:11

As higher education prepares students for increasingly complex scientific, technological and societal challenges, �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder is strengthening its commitment to leadership development by naming Chancellor Justin Schwartz the Quigg and Virginia S. Newton Endowed Chair in Leadership.

The appointment builds on a growing universitywide effort to make leadership development an integral part of the �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder student experience—across disciplines, inside and outside the classroom, and throughout a student's time on campus.

"Leadership isn't reserved for people with a particular title. It's the ability to bring people together around difficult problems, ask better questions, make thoughtful decisions and help others succeed," Schwartz said. "That's a skill every student can develop, regardless of discipline."

At the center of the effort is �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder’s Center for Leadership, which connects opportunities across the university and ensures students from every field of study can develop and practice the skills to lead.

Since its founding in 2020, the center has grown into a campuswide leadership ecosystem that now includes more than 55 affiliate programs across �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder's colleges, schools and units. Together, these programs reach thousands of students through academic courses, mentoring, coaching, experiential learning, civic engagement and other leadership development opportunities.

The Center for Leadership is also expanding the depth of those experiences. The Newton Fellowship Program brings together students from leadership programs across campus for an intensive year of coaching, mentorship and leadership development. The new Wagner Civic Impact Initiative creates opportunities for students to put leadership into practice by addressing real-world challenges and contributing to their communities.

The center is also investing in the faculty and staff who develop student leaders, creating stronger connections among programs and building a common approach to evaluating the impact of leadership education across campus.

The work has helped �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder gain national visibility for its approach to developing leaders. TIME Magazine has recognized �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder among its best colleges for future leaders, reflecting the breadth of leadership opportunities available to students across the university.

For the Boettcher Foundation, which helped establish the Newton Chair, the appointment represents both a continuation of former �鶹��Ѱ��President Quigg Newton's legacy and an investment in the leaders Colorado will need in the future.

"The Boettcher Foundation has long believed that developing strong leaders is one of the most powerful investments we can make in Colorado's future," said Katie Kramer, president and CEO of the Boettcher Foundation. "The Newton Chair carries forward Quigg Newton's extraordinary legacy of leadership and public service while creating opportunities for new generations of students to develop the skills and character they will need to make a difference in their communities, their professions and our state."

Schwartz's appointment as Newton Chair became effective July 1. The endowed position was established by the Newton family in partnership with the Boettcher Foundation and �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder to honor Newton's commitment to leadership, education and public service.

As Newton Chair, Schwartz will work with the Center for Leadership and partners across the university to continue expanding leadership education and creating clearer pathways for students to move from learning about leadership to practicing it in consequential settings.

"Leadership development belongs alongside discovery, innovation and academic excellence," Schwartz said. "We want our students to leave here not only prepared to succeed in their fields but prepared to take responsibility for what comes next."

Chancellor Justin Schwartz has been named the Newton Chair to advance leadership development across the university.

�鶹��Ѱ��Boulder celebrated the opening of Code Talker Hall on Aug. 12, marking the addition of a new 332-bed residence hall designed for non-first-year undergraduate students.

The residence hall commemorates Native American Code Talkers, soldiers who served in World War I and World War II and used their Indigenous languages to transmit coded messages that enemy intelligence could not decipher. 

"Code Talker Hall meets an important need for students while honoring a remarkable legacy of service," said �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder Chancellor Justin Schwartz. "The Native American Code Talkers used their languages and cultures in service to our country, and we are proud to recognize their contributions through a building that will serve students for years to come." 

The ribbon-cutting ceremony included remarks from university leaders, a military color guard, the national anthem performed by the �鶹��Ѱ��Buffoons a cappella group, tribal leader blessings, a plaque unveiling and ribbon-cutting. 

Code Talker Hall also has a connection to �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder's history of supporting veterans. The building was constructed on the former site of VetsVille, a student veteran community established in 1945 as temporary housing for World War II veterans returning to school under the GI Bill. 

"In honoring legacy of the Native American Code Talkers, we hope this building reminds every student that their unique experiences, perspectives and contributions have the power to strengthen communities and move the world forward," said D'Andra Mull, vice chancellor for Student Life at �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder.

“We’re also incredibly excited to expand our apartment-style housing options for our transfer and returning students. This will be a place where they will build friendships, develop a sense of belonging, pursue their goals and create memories that will shape their time at �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder.” 

The building is the first new residence hall at �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder since 2019 and is targeting LEED Gold certification. Sustainability features include an all-electric design, including all-electric kitchens in student apartments and all-electric food-service facilities—the first of its kind at �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder. The building also includes electric kitchen equipment, including an electric griddle, induction range cooktop, electric combi ovens and an electric dishwasher. 

Code Talker Hall is home to non-first-year undergraduate students, providing new opportunities for students to live and build community on campus.
