Hall of Fame
Jim McCormick has served as the Vice President for Student Life at CCU since 1995. A native of Phoenix, Arizona Jim McCormick came to Colorado to attend college. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Northern Colorado and his master’s degree from the University of Colorado. Following graduation, Jim answered God’s call to pursue a career in student life and experienced enormous success in that field at three institutions prior to his service at CCU.
As the Vice President for Student Life, Jim has made immeasurable and often unseen contributions to both the Athletics Department and to the University as a whole. The Athletics Department was moved under Jim in 2001 and within one year he had successfully launched the Hall of Fame Banquet and also initiated the current Christ-centered direction that now defines Cougar athletics.
The personification of humble leadership, Jim combines vision with hard work, and has been voted Administrator of the Year six times in his twelve years at CCU. Seeing the Cougars through some difficult times, he has been one of the department’s most trusted and loyal advocates. Despite his many accomplishments and a combined twenty-seven years of service, his greatest gift of all may be his humility and his unique ability to deflect credit to those around him.
