Greg’s leadership, compliance insight and core values have been especially helpful as CU Boulder staff navigate the complex rules and regulations applicable to the university, including those incorporated into sponsored research agreements and those imposed by the Department of Education on all institutions of higher education.

It is through this partnership – strongly supported by, and not infrequently led by, Greg, that we are able to better support our researchers. We truly appreciate having such a strong partner on our campus.
