Brett Bolton is a student at the Leeds School of Business at CU Boulder, double majoring in Finance and Accounting with a minor in Leadership. As a sled hockey athlete, he is passionate about hands-on leadership that promotes accessibility, inclusion, and belonging. Through the Dalai Lama Fellowship, Brett hopes to grow as a more compassionate and self-aware leader while learning to create spaces where everyone feels seen and valued. Through the fellowship, he also hopes to better understand how to create inclusive “third spaces”—environments outside of work and home where people from diverse backgrounds can come together to connect, express themselves, and foster community. In his free time, Brett enjoys fitness, journaling, and connecting with others through adaptive sports.
