Academic Programs Coordinator
Center of the American West
Ryan Lueck is a lifelong Coloradan. Growing up on the Western Slope, he decided to stay in his home state for his higher education. Moving to the opposite side of the Rocky Mountains, he attended Colorado State University. He was at CSU from 2016 to 2022, where he earned his BA and MA in Literature. His research was centered around critical theory and American literature, specifically the intersection of American literary irony and digital frontiers. He joined the Center of the American West as the Academic Programs Coordinator in January 2024. When not at the Center, he can be found lounging with his cat Pistachio, playing chess or playing games with his partner.
