The new leadership team replaces former faculty director Paul Chinowsky, who accepted a position as the Associate Vice Provost of Student Success for CU-Boulder. The leadership team also replaces the prior Executive Committee that consisted of faculty representatives from disciplinary groups with EDC students. The incoming leadership team would like to thank Chinowsky and the Executive Committee members for their service to the program over the past three years.
