= Centennial Institute = The Centennial Institute is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) organization. The institute serves as a public policy think tank at Colorado Christian University working to enhance public knowledge and inform on issues regarding faith, family, and freedom. Under the guidance of Colorado Christian University’s Strategic Priorities and sponsorship, the Centennial Institute hosts events such as seminars, annual conferences, such as the Western Conservative Summit, and other gatherings that the public and fellows, students, faculty of the University can attend.

In 2009, the Centennial Institute was formed as a public policy think tank to enhance public understanding of issues regarding faith, family and freedom under the presidency of Bill Armstrong of Colorado Christian University (2006-2016). Armstrong named John Andrews, former Colorado Senate President, as director of the Centennial Institute. Andrews oversaw the operations of the institute from 2009 to 2015. Under his leadership, the Centennial Institute hosted the first Western Conservative Summit in 2010.

The baton of leadership was later passed onto Jeff Hunt in 2015. Hunt serves as the current director of the Centennial Institute and as the co-Chairman of the Western Conservative Summit and currently reports to Donald Sweeting who serves as the Chancellor of Colorado Christian University (2022-present) and, prior to that, served as the University’s president (2016-2022).
