The Office of Research Integrity (ORI) and its subsidiary units will conclude several leadership transitions before the school year starts, including the August 16 retirement of Joe Rosse, associate vice chancellor of Research Integrity and Compliance, the shift of Director of Animal Resources and Attending Veterinarian Jon Reuter to replace Rosse, and the hiring of Dr. Sara Hashway after a national search to fill Reuter’s role.

The ORI, housed within the Research & Innovation Office (RIO), helps students, faculty and staff involved in research meet regulatory requirements and uphold CU Boulder’s commitment to scientific and ethical integrity. The office encompasses a range of critical functions for the campus, including Conflicts of Interest & Commitment, Export Controls, Human Research, Animal Care and Use, Research Misconduct, Controlled Substances and more.

On August 17, Reuter will formally transition into the assistant vice chancellor of Research Integrity and Compliance and institutional official for the Animal Care Program roles. During his four years at CU Boulder, Reuter helped lead the first American Association for Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC) accreditation of the animal program, led the commissioning of the new Wilderness Place center for behavioral neuroscience, and implemented a strong program to support animal research on the campus. Additionally, Reuter has participated in several collaborative research investigations in neuroscience, integrative physiology, wildlife ecology and comparative medicine research.

Hashway, most recently with the University of Minnesota, will join CU Boulder as the director and attending veterinarian for the Office of Animal Resources on July 29. A board-certified laboratory animal medicine veterinarian, Hashway earned her veterinary degree from the University of Georgia and completed her specialty training at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Hashway’s commitment and leadership will continue to strengthen the Office of Animal Resources’ professional development and excellent standards of care. 

After 35 years with CU Boulder, Rosse’s last day will be August 16. He has been an important leader for campus, helping CU Boulder develop and evolve its research integrity and compliance philosophy and operation. 

“Joe and his leadership will be missed, but he is leaving the program in a strong position for campus and for his successor,” said Terri Fiez, vice chancellor for Research and Innovation. 

RIO and the Leeds School of Business will host a retirement celebration for Rosse on August 15, from 3:30-5:30 p.m. at the Chancellor’s Hall, CASE Building. Please RSVP to attend the event.
