Presidential Executive in Residence Program
Current Executives in Residence

Terrell Davis
President Amy Parsons named Denver Broncos legend Terrell Davis as a Presidential Executive in Residence at Colorado State in August, 2024.
Davis, a Super Bowl and League MVP, Pro Football Hall of Famer and the man many Coloradoans know as TD, will be at Colorado State in a mentoring and leadership role. Davis will serve as “CSU Athletics Rambassador,” a unique position that will inspire and engage the Athletics Department and the entire CSU community.
Davis will be on the sidelines for home football games, work with student-athletes and coaches across all 16 CSU sports programs, speak to classes, engage with media, attend university events, and work with donors and stakeholders to secure new sources of support.
Since retiring from football, Davis has been active as both a philanthropist and entrepreneur.
Davis said, “I’ve come to understand the history and mission of CSU, I recognize a clear set of shared beliefs – this notion that you can change the world, improve your community and make a difference when you combine talent, creativity, hard work and determination. That resonates with me, and I’m honored to serve as CSU’s Athletics Rambassador.”

Jenny Cavnar
President Amy Parsons named award-winning Major League Baseball (MLB) Broadcaster Jenny Cavnar as CSU’s first Presidential Executive in Residence in February 2024. Cavnar, a CSU alum, entered her 18th season in MLB broadcasting and has been a trailblazer for women in the industry. In 2024, Cavnar marked a milestone of being named the first female primary play-by-play voice in MLB history when the Oakland Athletics announced her as its play-by-play announcer. She previously served 12 years as backup play-by-play announcer, pregame and postgame host and reporter for regional TV coverage for the Colorado Rockies.
Cavnar is a five-time Emmy Award winner and was the first woman to win National Sports Media Association (NSMA) Colorado Sportscaster of the Year in 2021. She also made baseball history in 2018 as the first woman in 25 years to call play-by-play for a Major League Baseball game. She was the first female to provide analysis for a series of National League games in the radio booth. In addition to being the backup play-by-play broadcaster, she hosted the Rockies Pregame and Postgame Shows and served as a sideline reporter.
Cavnar often can be heard as a voice on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM throughout the regular season and postseason coverage. In addition to her work in baseball, Cavnar calls men’s and women’s college basketball on FS1 and PAC 12 Networks. At CSU, Cavnar double-majored in business and speech communications.
