Daniels named regional program manager for Denver metro area
The University of Colorado has named Nigel Daniels as regional program manager in CU’s Office of Outreach and Engagement. Daniels’ primary focus will be on the Denver metro area, but he also will add capacity to CU’s outreach and engagement work in northern Colorado. He joined the university March 17.
“Our outreach and engagement team is very excited to welcome Nigel to CU,” said Tony Salazar, vice president for outreach and engagement. “Nigel brings valuable relationships and community engagement experience that will deepen the university’s statewide impact and strengthen the team’s existing reach in the Denver metro area and northern Colorado.”
Before joining CU, Daniels – a Denver native – served as a judicial law clerk in Denver District Court, where he worked in the domestic relations and criminal court divisions. Previously, he worked as a policy adviser and law clerk at Denver’s Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck. He also has experience as a senior adviser to former Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, and as a campaign staffer to U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet.
“Nigel’s experience in the private and public sectors, including in policy advocacy, organizing and community engagement, allows him to bring beneficial relationships and connections to CU from across Colorado,” Salazar said. “With the addition of Nigel to our outreach and engagement team, we now have a full staff of regional program managers embedded in communities statewide, including in western and southern Colorado. This helps solidify CU’s commitment to serving all Coloradans.”
Daniels holds a bachelor’s in political science from Colorado State University, and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Denver. He is a member of the New Mexico and Washington, D.C., bar associations.
