Colorado State University is a GEM
I grew up in Fort Collins, Colorado, home of Colorado State University. I truly appreciate the wonderful asset that CSU is to our town. Let me tell you a few.
Carnegie Research University: CSU is know for very high research activity in such subjects as: atmospheric science, infectious diseases, clean energy technologies and environmental science.
101 acre for the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, 1,438-acre foothills campus, 1,575-acre agricultural campus, and 1,177-acre Pingree Park mountain campus. Plus: 3,994 acres of land for research centers and Colorado State Forest Service stations outside of Larimer County.
New School of Arts CSU presents more than 300 world-class music, theatre, and dance performances; exhibitions; and high-profile arts events annually.
Facilities include the new University Center for the Arts with the Runyan Music Hall, Griffin Concert Hall, University Theatre and Studio Theatre, Dance Theatre, the Organ Recital Hall, University Art Museum, and the Avenir Museum of Design and Merchandising.
CSU was selected as a Carnegie Engaged University in 2008 for both curricular engagement and outreach and partnership activities. CSU Extension has offices in 59 of 64 Colorado counties and delivers research-based information and educational programs, including 4-H and Master Gardener programs.
These are a few facts that I gleaned from the Facts at a Glance. However, I also enjoy all the cultural activities, the diversity of people that come right to me in my town and the fact that Colorado State University attracts and sponsors all sorts of summer programs for kids and has such a beautiful campus that makes Fort Collins shine.
Your Perfect Colorado Life is waiting for you!
