Introducing Jane Zelikova

Jane Zelikova is the new executive director of the Strategic Research Initiative (SRI), embedded within the Research Innovation Office (RIO). Over the next few months, she will learn about the Sustainability Leadership Team's activities.

Attend the Campus Sustainability Summit April 22–23

Onboarding Andrew Maycock

The new vice chancellor for sustainability started on March 17 and is balancing near-term external and philanthropy-related opportunities with internal trust-building efforts on campus. Key early milestones include:

A speaking role at Colorado Climate Week, which focused on collaboration between Colorado’s academic and government leaders
Immersing himself in Climate Action Plan materials
Familiarizing himself with the campus’s sustainability landscape
Connecting with near-term initiatives

He is confirmed to speak with the chancellor and Jane Zelikova in a panel at the Campus Sustainability Summit.

Sustainability landscape map

Vice Chancellor of Strategic Communications Jon Leslie presented a draft of the landscape map, which outlines the internal and external resources, programs, research, operations, achievements and relationships �� Boulder has related to sustainability across campus and beyond. The team discussed that many sustainability-related organizations have not yet provided input, so gathering additional feedback will be a helpful next step despite the document being well-populated.

Next steps: The SLT will show the landscape map to the Environmental Board and will share it at the Campus Sustainability Summit for further feedback. There will be an annual revision period. The map will serve as an engagement tool for advancement discussions, recruitment and engaging students and others in the campus’s sustainability-related activities.

Operational updates

Vice Chancellor for Infrastructure and Chris Ewing provided an update on operational sustainability projects:

Geothermal studies: These have begun and should be complete by the end of 2025 or early spring 2026.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Policy: This is working its way through the approval process and will include guidelines and standards and an impact review.
Decarbonization RFQ: This was released in March, with a pre-proposal meeting attended by multiple consultant teams with approximately 70 individuals in attendance. Proposals are due mid-May and �� will select a firm by mid-summer.

Upcoming sustainability events

The Sustainability Leadership Team discussed the following upcoming events:

April 22–23: Campus Sustainability Summit
May 9: Student move-out
June 5: Right Here Right Now Global Climate Summit plenary session as part of the University of Oxford-hosted event

This is part of a series that will cover �� Boulder Sustainability Leadership Team (formerly known as the Sustainability Executive Council) meeting agendas, discussions and decisions. The Sustainability Leadership Team brings together decision-makers and leaders from across campus to drive action and accountability to achieve carbon neutrality, goals outlined in the Chancellor’s Call to Climate Action and the implementation of the campus Climate Action Plan.

At its April meeting, the Campus Sustainability Leadership Team welcomed Jane Zelikova and discussed Andrew Mayock’s onboarding, the sustainability landscape map, operational updates and upcoming events.

Celebrating World Quantum Day at the Colorado Capitol

Celebrating World Quantum Day at the Colorado Capitol Megan Maneval Mon, 04/14/2025 - 13:14

Dignitaries from �� Boulder joined the Colorado General Assembly at the State Capitol on Monday, April 14, to celebrate World Quantum Day. Pictured here, Chancellor Justin Schwartz and Massimo Ruzzene, senior vice chancellor for research and innovation and dean of the institutes, speak to Colorado State Senator Mark Baisley.

World Quantum Day, which was launched in 2021 by a group of international scientists, is a global event celebrating quantum physics—and how insights into the universe at its smallest scales have transformed the lives of humans around the globe. This year’s events take on a special meaning as UNESCO has declared 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology.

To mark the occasion, a proclamation from Gov. Jared Polis in support of World Quantum Day (PDF) was read on the House and Senate floors of the General Assembly. �� Boulder was recognized for its contribution to the quantum industry.

“The collaborative efforts of higher education institutions, industry, and government agencies have played a pivotal role in nurturing Colorado's quantum technology ecosystem, fostering an environment conducive to research advancements, technology deployment to improve quality of life, and economic prosperity for Colorado and our global community,” the proclamation states.

Today, Colorado’s quantum industry employs about 3,000 people, and the state estimates that the number could grow to 10,000 within the next decade. In 2023, the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) named Elevate Quantum, a coalition of 120 organizations in the Mountain West, as an official tech hub for quantum technology. �� Boulder is a prime contributor to Elevate Quantum, which has secured more than $120 million to fuel the quantum industry in the region.

To begin the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology in January, �� Boulder—alongside Colorado State University, the Colorado School of Mines and Elevate Quantum—announced the launch of a new quantum incubator in Boulder.

�� Boulder Chancellor Justin Schwartz and other dignitaries joined the Colorado General Assembly in marking the rapid growth of the state's quantum industry.
