Nine University of Colorado faculty members today are being named Distinguished Professors, CU’s highest honor for faculty across the system’s four campuses. CU Distinguished Professors are tenured faculty members who demonstrate exemplary performance in research or creative work; a record of excellence in promoting learning and student attainment of knowledge and skills; and outstanding service to the profession, the university and its affiliates.
Phillip De Leon, Ph.D., oversees the University of Colorado Denver’s research and creative activities mission, which has been traveling an upward trajectory in recent years. CU Denver’s $31.3 million in externally sponsored projects for fiscal year 2024 was up 10% over the previous year. “The strategic plan’s goal for international recognition of CU Denver’s research and creative work, and the Grand Challenges initiative, really elevated the research mission of CU Denver over the last few years and catalyzed our faculty,” he said.
