The 34-year career of Alan Lamborn, associate provost for educational attainment at Colorado State University, will be celebrated on Friday, May 18, with a reception in the Great Hall of the TILT building on the Oval. The event will be held from 3:30 to 6 p.m., with remarks beginning at 4 p.m.

As associate provost, Lamborn has worked with divisions across campus to enhance undergraduate learning and increase retention and graduation rates. Since 2013, he has also served as the executive director of the Reinvention Collaborative, a national consortium of 65 universities dedicated to advancing undergraduate education within the context of the research university, housed at Colorado State.

Lamborn was vice provost for undergraduate affairs from 2005 to 2013 and associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts from 1999 to 2005. He has been a faculty member at CSU since 1984, a professor of political science who specializes in world politics, and has served on curriculum committees at every level of the university. He was elected as the faculty’s representative to the CSU System Board of Governors in 1997-98.

Lamborn received his M.A and Ph.D. from the University of Michigan and B.A. from Oberlin College.

Lamborn’s last day on campus will be June 30.
