Tim Foster didnât take the job as President of Colorado Mesa University to be showered in accolades.
He did it because he saw a vision that CMU, then Mesa State College, and Grand Junction could become educational and economic forces in Western Colorado.
âIâm not sure what I want my legacy to be,â Foster told The Daily Sentinel on his last day. âI guess as someone who moved the school forward â someone who helped people get the skills they needed. Because people are the most important thing. Theyâll do more for western Colorado than any road or bridge ever will.â
