Over three decades of service to Colorado College, Mike Edmonds changed the landscape of CC and illustrated the power of inclusive leadership. As acting co-president with Robert Moore from July 2020-June 2021, he was the first Black leader in CC history to serve as president. He was Dean of Students/Vice President for Student Life from 1991-2020, and currently serves as Senior Vice President.

The basketball and volleyball court within Reid Arena are named in Edmonds’ honor in connection with a generous gift from the Inasmuch Foundation. The gift, which supports initiatives related to student success and well-being, commemorates Edmonds’ distinguished career, his steadfast care and concern for students, and the indelible impact he has made on the CC community.
