Dedicated to the 22 presidents of the University, the elegant Presidents Room features a hand-painted photograph of each leader. Items symbolizing the office, such as the University mace and presidential chain, are also displayed.
In keeping with the architecture of the campus, the room is decorated in a rural Italian Renaissance motif and is used for University group meetings.
Current CU President Bruce Benson took office in March 2008. His biography and more information about his presidency can be found at the University of Colorado Office of the President website at https://www.cu.edu/content/about-president-benson
