Chancellor Venkat Reddy

A Word from the Chancellor

 

I am honored to serve as the seventh full-time chancellor of the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. Our university is home to exceptional students driven to build bright futures – for themselves, their communities and their world. The outstanding academic culture, innovative attitude and commitment to excellence at UCCS were all reasons why I joined the Mountain Lion family nearly thirty years ago. They continue to inspire me today.  

My promise to you is that each day, I will strive hard to execute the confidence our leadership has placed in me. I will represent our university well to University of Colorado President Todd Saliman, my fellow University of Colorado chancellors, and the Board of Regents to continue moving this great university forward. 

Committed

Committed to UCCS

I am fully committed to our access mission, knowing that we begin with the individual and, in the process, change families and communities forever. 

As a long-time member of the UCCS faculty, I witness what a remarkable and strong institution we are, and what commitment we have to our students, faculty, staff and community members.  

We will continue to accomplish great things to become the best regional comprehensive research university in the nation, one that is outcome-oriented, dynamic and agile. Academic excellence is the center of our success, and with that, we will continue to pursue a culture of respect, safety, and compassion. 

I look forward to creating a shared vision with all who teach, research, learn, administer, work on the campus and who work in our community. I ask that you join me in this journey of excellence. Thank you for the confidence you have placed in me.
