His long record of public service has given him vital insights that will help guide our students and faculty in their studies of leadership.鈥�
Bracken most recently served as executive director of the Bard Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Colorado Denver鈥檚 School of Business from 2001-07. Prior to his service as interim CU president in 2000, he served as vice president for public affairs for 19 years with Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., and before that, as assistant professor of history at Anderson College in Anderson, Ind.
He currently serves on the board of directors for the Robert H. and Beverly A. Deming Center for Entrepreneurship at the Leeds School of Business and the board of directors for the Presidents Leadership Class, both at CU-Boulder. He also serves as chair of the Imagine! Foundation board and is a board member of The Community Foundation Serving Boulder County.
Bracken also has been affiliated with several state commissions, including the Colorado Commission on Higher Education. He also served on the board of Boulder Community Hospital.
鈥淚t is an honor and a privilege to accept this appointment as the Newton Endowed Chair,鈥� said Bracken. 鈥淟eadership is a key resource for Colorado and the nation, and I look forward to continuing the work of President Brown, Chancellor DiStefano, and the faculty and staff of CU-Boulder in elevating the campus鈥檚 leadership programs to new levels of success.鈥澨�
