Schmiesing lauded the committee’s efforts.Ěý
“I want to thank Katherine and the committee for their excellent work,” said Schmiesing. “Scott and Bud are two wonderful candidates with long ties to CU Boulder and considerable experience working with graduate students and graduate faculty. I look forward to their campus open forums.”
