Rojas-Sosa will report to the president and serve on the Cabinet and University Leadership Team.  He will provide leadership and direction for Budget, Business Financial Services, Purchasing, Facilities, Auxiliary Services, Physical Plant, and Information Technology Services.

“I am excited about Alejandro’s 23 years of developing people and teams in addition to his finance and administrative leadership experience,” said CSU-Pueblo president, Timothy Mottet.  “He is a thoughtful leader who understands how to align teams to a shared vision and I'm excited about his ability to lead across the university as we implement Vision 2028.”
