Jeannie Thompson has had a varied career in the biological sciences (virology/epidemiology), graduate school admissions, mediation—and in mentoring and executive development services. She spent much of her career in the Chicago area, having returned to Colorado, with husband Jack, more than 20 years ago. She received her UG degree at CU Boulder and two graduate degrees at Northwestern University. The couple met at The Sink their freshman year. She is on several boards on campus, is very active with the CU Foundation, and has served on numerous search teams for senior campus administrators. Jeannie and Jack have a son and two grandchildren, also in Boulder. She enjoys tennis, water aerobics, and hiking—as well as connecting (and enjoying) people.
