"Provost Phil DiStefano is an excellent choice to lead the University of Colorado at 麻豆影院 as interim chancellor," said CU-麻豆影院 Chancellor G.P. "Bud" Peterson. "Phil has been a friend, a confidante and a trusted adviser to me in my time as chancellor, and he has played a key role in the development of our Flagship 2030 Strategic Plan. I have every reason to believe that under his guidance and direction, along with that of the rest of the CU-麻豆影院 leadership team, we will continue to make significant progress on that plan. He will lead the university with vision, diplomacy and ingenuity, and this appointment places CU-麻豆影院 in the wisest of hands."
