The vice provost will serve as a key academic leader, advancing theuniversity’s mission and advancing itsinstitutional priorities through the integration of academic data and technology, resource allocation and planning, online education, and working closely with partners across campus to strengthen teaching, learning and research.
As a trusted advisor to the provost, the vice provost will guide the stewardship and alignment of technology and academic resources, oversee analytics and reporting that inform strategic decision‑making, and help shape the university’s online education strategy in partnership with the Division of Continuing Education and other campus units.
Fernando Rosario‑Ortiz, who has served as interim vice chancellor for academic resource management since April 2025, will continue in the role until a successor is named, after which he will return to the faculty in the College of Engineering and Applied Science.
“I am grateful to Fernando Rosario‑Ortiz for his outstanding service,” Stevens said. “He has led with integrity and a steady hand, maintaining a clear focus on CU Boulder’s academic mission while guiding complex decisions with care for both people and purpose.”
During his tenure, Rosario‑Ortiz supported key initiatives related to faculty compensation, space optimization and revisions to the budget allocation model. His service builds on a broader record of leadership at CU, including roles as associate dean for faculty in the College of Engineering and Applied Science, interim dean of the School of Education, and interim director of the International Affairs Program in the College of Arts and Sciences.
“I am honored to have had the opportunity to serve in these roles in support of CU and look forward to returning to the faculty and to my research in environmental chemistry,” Rosario‑Ortiz said.
The new vice provost position will be filled through an internal search within CU Boulder. Interested applicants should apply by May 6 through. The provost will appoint the new vice provost this summer with assistance from a search advisory committee.
