This school year is Tim Fosterâs last as president of Colorado Mesa University.
Foster will retire from his position at the end of June, which is also the end of the fiscal year. His decision marks the finale of a 17-year run that saw the school earn university status, grow on seemingly all fronts and navigate a once-in-a-century catastrophe.
Foster made the announcement with CMU spokesperson David Ludlam late Wednesday morning to The Daily Sentinel and later sent a letter to CMU students, faculty, staff and alumni in the afternoon.
âI donât know if I had a number, but I didnât think Iâd be here for 17 years,â Foster said. âIâm going to stay in Grand Junction and I have no idea what Iâm going to do. In June, weâll take some time and bounce around, then come back in September or October and say, âNow what am I going to do?â â
