A LETTER FROM CSU INTERIM PRESIDENT Rick

• The Student Fee Review Board oversees how all your student fees get spent.

The University Technology Fee Advisory Board helps decide which campus technology projects get funded. These groups — and the hundreds of other student organizations — have an important role in shaping the future, culture and life of our campus. And they’re all made up of students just like you. If have one piece of advice for you as you get ready to begin your college career, it’s to be open to the opportunities. Embrace the learning. This is a rare time in life when you can try out new things — discover what you do and don’t enjoy — and push yourself beyond your previous experience. I’m in that position as I write this: I’m just beginning my time as Interim President of CSU, after having previously been a department chair, dean, provost and executive vice president, and chief academic officer for the CSU System. I’ve also been, and still am, a professor of mathematics, so I may have some of you in class before you graduate. But sitting in the president’s office is new for me, and I’ll be in this role much of this year while we search for a new, permanent university president. It’s my hope that I’ll be able to spend a lot of my time meeting with and listening to students about what you expect from the leadership of your university and how we can better support your academic journey. So, I’m in the middle of taking on a new opportunity, and I encourage you to do the same whenever you can as a student at CSU. This guide is a great place to start. Enjoy it, enjoy your orientation and I look forward to seeing you at Convocation in August!

| RAM LIFE ORIENTATION GUIDE 20224 5 DEAR STUDENTS:

The University Facility Fee Advisory Board helps decide how all student facility fees are allocated — and which projects matter most to students.

• The Associated Students of CSU (ASCSU) is your elected student government, which has a seat at the table with the CSU System Board of Governors, the board that oversees and sets policy for all the CSU campuses.

Welcome to Colorado State University!

. You will find residence hall councils, interest-based clubs, service organizations, fraternities and sororities, and much more — and if the club you want to join doesn’t exist, you can start one. One of the greatest parts of life on a college campus is the chance to explore new activities and meet people outside the classroom who share common interests.

This Ram Life orientation guide is a great way to begin to get to know your new campus home. Like all our student media at CSU, it’s created and managed by students, so the content on these pages is developed by people who not so long ago were brand new Rams themselves. Student media is one of the hundreds of opportunities you’ll have at CSU to get involved and explore new interests and activities. Our student media operation includes the award-winning Rocky Mountain Collegian newspaper; the best campus radio station in Colorado, KCSU; CTV, where students have the chance to dive into hands-on TV and video production; College Avenue magazine, for more in-depth reporting and writing; and a groundbreaking documentary filmmaking unit. All of these are run, funded and sustained by students. That’s true of the nearly 500 registered student clubs and organizations offered here at CSU. You can review the full list at Organizationsramlink.campuslabs.com/engage/

CSU adopted this land acknowledgment in 2019. It was created by a task force of university officials and Indigenous faculty and staff. The land acknowledgment is only a statement meant to encourage the CSU community to understand the pain that came alongside the university’s founding.

Colorado State University acknowledges, with respect, that the land we are on today is the traditional and ancestral homelands of the Arapaho, Cheyenne and Ute Nations and peoples. This was also a site of trade, gathering and healing for numerous other Native tribes. We recognize the Indigenous peoples as original stewards of this land and all the relatives within it. As these words of acknowledgment are spoken and heard, the ties Nations have to their traditional homelands are renewed and reaffirmed.

COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY’S LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT IS AS FOLLOWS:

To learn more about CSU’s land acknowledgment, go to landacknolwedgment. colostate.edu. To learn more about the Indigenous people here before CSU, go to poudreheritage.org.

CSU is founded as a land-grant institution, and we accept that our mission must encompass access to education and inclusion. And, significantly, that our founding came at a dire cost to Native Nations and peoples whose land this University was built upon. This acknowledgment is the education and inclusion we must practice in recognizing our institutional history, responsibility and commitment.

The next part of your orientation experience is to engage in Ram Welcome. All new students are expected to attend Ram Welcome. Build upon your orientation experience and begin your successful adjustment to Colorado State University by exploring academic programs, engaging with faculty and staff, learning about the many services available to support your college experience, connecting with other new and current students, learning traditions and discovering what it means to be a CSU Ram.

FALL MOVE-IN 2022

The Housing website has additional information on the fall 2022 move-in process, including a list of what will be provided in each room and what you cannot bring to your rooms this fall.

Once on campus, check in will be easy. Since much of the process will have already been done online, all that will be required is completing any remaining important paperwork and signing to receive keys.

Fall 2022 Move-In will take place over a 3-day period between Monday, Aug. 15 - Wednesday, Aug. 17. Arrivals will be limited to 25 residents per hall, per hour between the hours of 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. Specific time slots for each student will be arranged prior to your arrival on campus. If you are moving into a hall, you will receive an email from CSU Housing with directions for how to schedule your specific Move-In date and hour via the CSU Housing portal. For a link to the housing portal go to housing.colostate.edu/halls/move-in/.

Colorado State University is at the heart of Fort Collins. Planting our roots here in 1870, we have been a key part of the community ever since. CSU provides an experience for students that we hope will make you proud to be a CSU Ram. It all starts with Move-In Day!

RAM WELCOME 2022

Fall 2022 Ram Welcome will be August 16-21. More information will be emailed to students in early August and will become available on the Ram Welcome website.

You’ll get the most out of your education (and have more fun) if you actively engage in the course material. One great way to stay engaged is to look for ways your coursework is applicable to your everyday life. Once you see a discussion topic in the news or in a real-life context, you’ll feel more connected to your classes and your degree progress.

You’ll hear people tell you that you need to go to a professor’s office hours if you need help, but that’s not the only way to get it! Don’t hesitate to email your professor instead, no matter how small your question is. If you’re struggling in a class, with time management or in your personal life, share that if you’re comfortable. It’s better to be open about your challenges and receive support than to try to tough it out. Additionally, take advantage of review sessions or study groups offered by a class or department. There is no shame in struggling with school or life, and your CSU community is here to help.

5 TIPS FOR STARTING STRONG LEARN HOW YOU LEARN

GET INVOLVED & TRY SOMETHING NEW “Getting involved” is a classic catch-phrase of orientation leaders, but it’s a tried-and-true way to make friends, find your passions and get to know a new community. CSU and Fort Collins have many social groups you can join to give yourself a break from classwork and find a place to feel comfortable just being yourself. At the same time, it’s never too late to try something new, and college is the perfect time to also get yourself out of your comfort zone.

College is difficult, and the first year is especially challenging as you face so many “firsts” in life. You’ll be feeling a lot of different emotions — the excitement that comes with new beginnings, the joy of being free to make your own decisions, the feeling of being homesick for your best friend, your family, your pets or even your favorite place to eat. You’ll also likely be feeling all these things at once, and that’s OK! Remember that you are not alone in these feelings.

The best way to succeed in your classes is to figure out how you best learn and study. Everyone is different, and the way that you learn best might not be the same as your roommate or classmate — or even how you studied in high school. Your best methods might also differ from class to class or semester to semester. You just need to be flexible and listen to yourself.

It’s common and OK to not know what you want to major in. Take general education classes and get involved in groups that align with your interests to see if that will lead you to a future career path. Talk to CSU’s undeclared advisors and find out what the university offers that appeals to you. You don’t have to rush it, and if you think you like something now but change your mind down the road, that is OK, too. You also don’t need to have the rest of your life figured out, either. There’s nothing wrong with not knowing who you are or who you want to be. Embrace that uncertainty, and you’ll have a great first year at Colorado State.

DON’T FEEL PRESSURED TO HAVE IT ALL FIGURED OUT

Starting college also comes with a lot of expectations. You might have this idea in your mind of what your perfect “college life” looks like, but don’t let that hold you back from doing what feels right in the moment. You don’t have to take part in anything you don’t want to do! At the same time, don’t feel bad if you don’t check everything off your bucket list right away. This is your time to live life the way you want to — being a college student is ultimately about learning and growing, so give yourself room to do so. Here are some tips for how to start your journey off strong.

HELLO FIRST-YEARS, Congratulations on choosing Colorado State University as your home for the next four years. This is the beginning of one of the greatest journeys of your lifetime. During your time at CSU, I urge you all to do something bold (trust me when I say those years go by quickly). What does doing something bold look like at CSU you might ask? Here are a few examples: Starting a business with your roommate Going to a party Asking the person next to you in class out on a coffee date Getting involved on campus and engaging in public speaking Asking your professor for a two-day extension on the paper you worked so hard on for half the semester Many more… My point is, that by doing something bold here at CSU, you are growing not only as a student, but as a person. It is my hope that you take these traits far beyond your time at CSU and represent what it means to be a Ram wherever the world may take you.

Do you want to serve the Student Body as a leader within one of the most developed student governments in the nation? It operates just like the federal government, with an Executive, Legislative and Judicial branch.

Finally, and probably most importantly, don’t let academia rule your life. regret not getting involved on campus until halfway through my sophomore year and wish I had started earlier. Additionally, there are over 400+ clubs/ fraternities/sororities/organizations at CSU, so know that there is a place for you here and a community for you to thrive in. With that, I want to welcome you all with open arms to Colorado State University and hope you remember my three pieces of advice: Do something bold, don’t waste the experience and don’t let academia rule your life.

Fort Collins also has communityled clubs, groups and volunteer organizations that you can get involved with. Look out for flyers in local coffee shops or at the public library, or you can just search around social media to find something you want to contribute to.

CSU hosts more than 385 clubs and organizations; only a few are mentioned below. Check out the Student Leadership, Involvement and Community Engagement office and website for a more complete list.

Joining a club, an honor society, a sorority or fraternity, a volunteer organization or a student-led workspace (like Rocky Mountain Student Media or the Associated Students of CSU) is a wonderful way to meet new people and figure out what you’re interested in. You don’t have to find your passion or meet the love of your life, either. Just have fun! If you don’t know where to start, make sure to walk around the involvement fairs that are held during your new student orientations and Ram Welcome. Pay attention to posters around campus, chalk on the ground or students tabling on the Lory Student Center Plaza — you might stumble into something you enjoy, or at least have a chance for some free pizza.

CAM THE RAM CAM the Ram is the official mascot of Colorado State University. His name stands for Colorado Agricultural and Mechanical College (the university’s former name). CAM is a Rambouillet Ram and has his own troop of Ram Handlers to help him out. Twentythree CAMs have served Colorado State since 1945. CAM can be seen at some football games and around campus for special events, or you can interact with the human mascot at games in Moby Arena!

2009 – A two-megawatt, 15-acre solar array, one of the largest at a U.S. university, is installed on the Foothills Campus.

Ram Traditions & History

THE BORDER WAR The Border War between CSU and the University of Wyoming is the longest continuous rivalry in each school’s history, dating back to 1899. Since 1968, the schools have battled for possession of the Bronze Boot traveling trophy. The bronzed battle boot was worn in Vietnam by CSU alumnus Dan Romero. Each year, ROTC cadets from both schools complete the annual game ball relay, running the game ball from the visitor’s stadium to the home stadium. Colorado State University’s roots go back to 1870 when the institution started as a small land-grant university of higher education. Today it has evolved into a worldclass research institution stretching across six campuses, eight colleges and 55 academic departments. Landmarks spread across the main campus tell the Colorado State University story. Traditions rich in history serve as steadfast reminders that at Colorado State, we are proud to be Rams.

1870 – Territorial Gov. Edward McCook signs a bill establishing the Agricultural College of Colorado in Fort Collins. 1884 – First commencement. 1918 – The 1,177-acre CSU Mountain Campus, located 9,000 feet about sea level, is established as a field site for natural resource students. 1957 – Colorado A&M becomes Colorado State University 1970 – Old Main, the first classroom building constructed on the Colorado Agricultural College Campus, is destroyed by suspected arson. 1976 – CSU achieves Carnegie Foundation Research University status. 1979 – CSU opens the James L. Voss Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Currently ranked as the third best veterinary school in the U.S., it provides care for both small and large animals and houses the worldrenowned Flint Animal Cancer Center.

HISTORY

2015 – CSU becomes the world’s first university to earn a STARS (Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System) Platinum rating for its sustainability programs. 2017 – CSU kicks off the football season in its new on-campus multipurpose facility, Canvas Stadium, featuring the New Belgium Porch and Iris & Michael Smith Alumni Center.

THE A The big “A” on the western hillside of Fort Collins is visible from most of campus. It stands for Aggie, CSU’s mascot when it was still Colorado A&M. The “A” was constructed in 1923 and first white-washed in 1924. To this day, the landmark is given a fresh coat of white paint annually.

The cannon, known as Comatose, is a 1918 ABS French 75 mounted on a 1941 retrofitted carriage. It was donated to CSU in 1952 by the 5th Army and has been in action ever since.

It is extremely important that students take care of their mental health, especially during their first year in a new environment. CSU counseling services are available at no additional cost to full time students. To start counseling services with the Health Network, students must go into the Health Network (on the third floor) to meet with a counselor for an intake appointment. Due to the high demand of counseling services, it is a good idea to visit the Health Network early in the semester to get set up with an appointment. Don’t procrastinate taking care of yourself! Services include: counseling, medical, pharmacy, psychiatry, physical therapy, tobacco cessation, health insurance, billing and medical records, spiritual care, additional health and well-being resources, public assistance and community resources.

The Health Network’s regular business hours are from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays; the Health Network does not open until 9 a.m. on Tuesdays and is closed on the weekend. Counseling services end at 3:30 p.m. Other services may have different operating hours — go to parkinghealth.colostate.edu/location-hoursfor specific times.

CSU Housing and Dining Services will welcome nearly 6,000 students into campus residence halls and living communities this August. To help make the process as easy as possible for students and their families, students moving into the residence halls can register for a Move-In arrival timeslot via the CSU Housing Portal. The portal will open in late summer once room assignments are complete.

CAN I DECORATE THE WALLS?

While CSU Housing and Dining Services recognizes students want to personalize their rooms, please note room decorations should not be hung with materials that may cause damage to the walls. Paint, nails, duct tape, foam tape or other strong adhesives are not allowed.

After a two-year pause, Colorado State University is excited to welcome alumni and Rams fans back to campus for a full weekend of activities to celebrate Homecoming and Family Weekend 2022. Mark your calendars for Oct. 13-15, and start planning now for a weekend of traditional activities and events. Check the Homecoming and Family Weekend website for the most current information and schedule of events. homecoming.colostate.edu

While not prohibited, due to the large amount of MicroFridges left at move out, we discourage you bringing these to campus. As an option, we encourage you consider a MicroFridge that can be rented. Go to the housing website for rental information.

MOVING TO CAMPUS

Blue painters tape is recommended to hang posters and light-weight pictures. Adhesive hooks and strips work well for heavier artwork and can be easily removed from smooth wall surfaces without damage.

HELPFUL RESOURCES

BIKING Fort Collins is a major biking city, and you can get just about anywhere on or off campus with a bike. Fort Collins has been named a platinum-level Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists, the highest distinction for a bikefriendly community. With over 30 miles of paved bike trails within the Fort Collins city limits, most of which are connected to each other, it’s possible to bike just about anywhere without ever hitting busy streets.

If public transportation is not for you, invest in a bike, as it can help you get to class and beyond. Not to mention, it’s very eco-friendly, something Fort Collins is known for. Make sure you register your bike with the CSU Police Department ($10) as soon as possible. Also remember to lock up your bike in a bike rack — bikes left around campus (not in a bike rack) will be removed by CSUPD. police.colostate.edu AROUND THE HORN Around the Horn is CSU’s free cross-campus shuttle service. Northbound and Southbound shuttles run every 10 minutes, making 10 stops each at select points around campus.

Colorado State University and the City of Fort Collins are a Platinum-level Bicycle Friendly Community, one of only five in the country. The campus has more than 17,000 bicycle parking spaces, separated bicycle trails, three underpasses onto campus and great wayfinding to help students navigate on campus. Before you ride, be sure to read up on Colorado bicycle laws. Bicyclists generally have to follow the rules of the road just like cars: yield to pedestrians, stop at four-way stops if there is other traffic and ride on the right side of the road or sidewalk. Also, remember to follow dismount zones on campus and in Old Town Fort Collins and always ride with a helmet and safety lights.

The Power Trail begins at Edora Park in east Fort Collins and continues south to Golden Meadows Park, north of Harmony Road for more than three miles. This scenic trail runs along the historic Union Pacific Railroad.

The Fossil Creek Trail runs between the Spring Creek Trail and Fossil Creek Reservoir. This trail is perfect if you are hoping to spot some wildlife during your visit as the trail cuts through the Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area, Pineridge, Redtail Grove and Two Creeks natural areas.
