John Marshall has been offered the job to serve as the 10th president at Colorado Mesa University.
After a national search that produced more than 60 applicants, Marshall was chosen Thursday out of a field of three finalists. He will replace President Tim Foster, who is retiring from the job this summer after 17 years on the job.
Members of CMU s Board of Trustees said they did so because of Marshall s background, historical knowledge of the university and abilities in a wide range of things, such as his leadership skills, working relationship with students and ability to create partnerships with the community.

The Elk Creek mine above the town of Somerset may have closed years ago, but methane gas still silently seeps out of its collapsed walls and into the atmosphere.
Tom Vessels, a former gas executive turned entrepreneur, is on a mission to eliminate that gas from closed or abandoned mines and prove doing so can slow down global warming.

Tom Vessels, a former gas executive turned entrepreneur, is on a mission to eliminate that gas from closed or abandoned mines and prove doing so can slow down global warming.
For the last nine years, Vessels has captured the mine’s methane and used it to generate electricity for residents in the surrounding valleys. This has removed 250 billion cubic feet of methane annually equivalent to taking more than half a million cars off the road for a year, according to a February report from Aspen Skiing Company, the project’s backer.
Summer is quickly approaching, which means we will soon be enjoying time in or along the rivers that flow through Eagle County. The Eagle River flows into the Colorado River in Dotsero.
