Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano has appointed Elvira “Elvie” Strehle-Henson as interim managing associate university counsel for the CU-Boulder campus. Strehle-Henson replaces Charles “Charlie” Sweet, who will be serving as vice chancellor for strategic initiatives at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs.

“While we will miss Charlie’s guidance on the Boulder campus, I understand his desire to dedicate himself to strategic projects on the Colorado Springs campus,” said Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano, “and I’m delighted that Elvie has agreed to serve as the interim managing associate university counsel.”

Strehle-Henson has been with the University of Colorado since 1989. She began working for the Office of University Counsel as a law clerk in the Litigation Office in Denver. In 1991, she was promoted to assistant university counsel on the Boulder campus, and also worked as senior assistant university counsel, associate university counsel, and then senior associate university counsel.

She served as interim managing senior associate university counsel for the Boulder campus for several months in 2008-09, and again in the summer of 2014.

Before practicing law, Elvie worked for Storage Technology Corporation in Broomfield and Louisville in the Production and Inventory Control and Field Engineering units.

She has a bachelor’s degree with a double major in history and English and a law degree, both from CU-Boulder.
