University of Colorado regent and board chair Callie Rennison will not seek re-election in 2026, her office announced Sunday evening.
Rennison, who represents Colorado’s 2nd Congressional District on the CU Board of Regents, was first elected as regent in 2020 and has served as the board’s chair since 2023. Her current term will end in January 2027.
“I am so proud of all that we have accomplished during my tenure on the board,” Rennison said in a statement. “… While I will miss working with the amazing people on our campuses and in the system office, I will leave the board knowing that the university, the system office and our campuses are in capable hands.”
Rennison is a professor emerita and former associate dean of faculty affairs at the University of Colorado Denver School of Public Affairs. She also served as the Director of the Office of Equity and Title IX Coordinator for the CU Denver and Anschutz Medical campuses.
She plans to continue teaching at the School of Public Affairs, as well as her research on crime and violence, according to her statement.
