GRADUATION GUIDE | DECEMBER 2018 | 3

A Message to Graduates from CSU President Tony Frank Dear Graduates, Congratulations to our Fall 2018 graduates of Colorado State University! On behalf of the faculty, staff, students, and alumni of this great university, please know that we honor you and all you have achieved during your academic career, and we look forward to seeing what your future holds.

Once you get a little distance from this moment, we hope you will also find that your education has equipped you to step out into the world and make choices that will lead you toward a fulfilling, productive life—a life that consistently means something to the people and communities with whom you interact.

In case any of you need a reminder of why your commencement matters, consider that less than 10 percent of the world’s population today holds a college degree. That percentage declines even further when you look at the number of people on this planet who have obtained a master’s or a Ph.D. You have accomplished something that most other human beings never have the opportunity to even attempt, and that accomplishment provides you with an unparalleled platform to continue to make an impact and a difference in our world.

You may or may not be able to land your dream job, but there are important, meaningful jobs out there that need doing and that will help build your skills and experience, expand your understanding of the world, and move you closer to your goals. There are people and places in this world who need the talents and knowledge you have to offer. Our world has complex problems that need solving, and the responsibility for solving most of them will fall to those who have had the privilege of an education.

Use it. You may not be able to see your impact overnight, but the work you do and the choices you make once you cross that commencement stage really do matter. A few weeks ago, we hosted an annual event to honor our most distinguished CSU alumni. These are people who took their CSU diplomas and went on to become community and political leaders, philanthropists, innovative scientists and engineers, respected faculty, groundbreaking business leaders, important journalists and artists, and even members of our governing board. But when they stood where you now stand, they had no idea what influence they would wield during the course of their lives and careers. Opportunities arose for them, and they seized those opportunities – and as a result, their influence has been profound.

4 | December 2018 | GRADUATION

As you take on those problems, as you rise to the challenges ahead and achieve more than you ever thought possible, remember that your University takes pride in you and the difference you’re able to make for our world. The term “commencement” is used at graduation because this is the start of a new beginning. Make the most of it, and take on your future with a sense of confidence and optimism. Then don’t forget to come back to your alma mater a few years from now to let us know how your life is unfolding. We at CSU are proud of you, and we celebrate this achievement with you. Congratulations again to the Class of 2018! Dr. Tony Frank President

A Message to graduates from From ASCSU President

Graduates, Well done and congratulations on finishing this phase of your life. For the past few years here at CSU you’ve been taught to dream big, to pursue what you love, and to change the world. I won’t waste your time drilling that message into your head again. The message I want to deliver is more tangible and direct. Now that you’re on the job hunt and in the “real world” there are some things you should do. First, look into loan forgiveness programs-they’re tricky and if you don’t plan from the outset you can inadvertently lose your eligibility. I hope you found your degree here at CSU worth it. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look into ways to cut the cost down. On the same note-it might be a good strategy to pay more than the minimum payments on your loans. True freedom comes with independence- which stems from the idea that you don’t owe anyone anything. Look into the nuances of loan repayment. Second, if you broke a law while at CSU and have a charge on your record, go to Student Legal Services. Petty offensives, criminal misdemeanors, or any charge can be analyzed and possibly sealed. Sealing your criminal record ensures that you’re as an attractive of a candidate as possible. You now have a world class education, don’t let one night undermine your education and value, talk to a lawyer for free. Third, if you haven’t been- go to the Career Center. They’ll see you after graduation as well. They have wonderful professionals to

6 | December 2018 | GRADUATION

help you map out the next few steps to getting a job and they give concrete help to move you’re forward tangibly and immediately! Earlier when I said Student Legal Services was free, that was a lie. Both Student Legal and the Career Center are student fee funded, meaning they already have your money, so you should at least make it work for you now. And as far as life goes, start saving for retirement today. If you take around 5 percent of your income and start saving to increase that percentage to more later in life you’ll be significantly less stressed come 45. And as far as the first car you buy goes, it should look much worse than you feel in this moment while graduating (aka buy a crap car). At the end of the day I didn’t want to tell you more of what you already know or reinforce the feel good nature of graduation. I hope you find this advice helpful. This is your life, and I wish you luck in your endeavors.

GRADUATION GUIDE | DECEMBER 2018 | 7

Adulting 101 You did it, you graduated! Now it’s time you enter the all elusive “real world”, which means things are going to change. College is it’s own world, where life is broken up by semesters and revolves around class and homework while trying to squeeze in a social life and healthy habits. You’ve made it through some tough times, but be prepared for the awkward shift into true adulthood. It may be difficult to say goodbye to Fort Collins and the routine you’ve had for the past several years, but exciting things await you! Don’t worry too much - here are some tips to help ease your transition into true adulthood. Find New Ways to Be Social In college, you made some of your best friends through living in the dorms, sitting near each other in class, being on the same sports team or by being a member in the same club. After graduating, it may seem difficult to make connections, but there are so many opportunities to meet people. Introduce yourself to everyone at work and try to get to know them. Coworker relationships can help make a job more enjoyable, and face it - you’ll be spending a lot of time together! Another way to meet new people is by looking for meetups in your city. With a simple Google search, you can find groups for almost anything, anywhere. Whether you’re an art lover, movie junkie, dog lover, tech nerd - the possibilities are endless. This is an easy way to meet people who share your passions or hobbies, which makes for easy conversation. Try New Things Simply put, college was hectic. With due dates approaching one after another, it was hard to find time for anything else. Take this opportunity and

new-found freedom and try something new! Sign up for a dance class, learn a musical instrument, start a new sport, take a cooking class, or explore new hobbies. Do something you’ve always wanted to do but haven’t had the time to make happen. If you don’t know where to start, just say yes to things! Try not to turn down any opportunities and don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone. Take Time For Yourself You’ve been constantly surrounded by people for the past four years. Walking through the LSC, around the Oval, or in the library, you interacted with strangers nearly every day. Take the time to be with yourself and rest. Try meditating, reading a book (for pleasure, now!) or go on a hike. Spend some time alone and reconnect with yourself! You’ve been a student for so long, so take your time adjusting to this new life and do whatever feels best for you. Don’t Worry - You’re Still Going to Have Fun Don’t listen to those people who say that the fun is over once you’ve graduated. Sure, you have a lot of great memories to take with you, but many more are yet to come. Life after college doesn’t have to be boring; take advantage of this new chapter in life, relax, and have fun!

More Than a Color By Amber Carvalho Here at Colorado State University, green is more than just our school color. As a land-grant university, CSU strives to better our community and the world around us. Through various initiatives, programs, and research, CSU has become a green pioneer. These efforts have paid off: CSU is ranked the number one greenest school in the country. What exactly has CSU done to earn this title? The list of accomplishments is long, but here are a few notable sustainability initiatives: CSU... • • • • • • • •

Is the first school in the world to earn Platinum in the STARS rating system in 2015 Is home to 25 LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified buildings Has one of few mountain campuses in the nation Houses the first solar-heated/air-conditioned building - created by our scientists Worked with NASA to create the world’s most sensitive cloud-profiling radar, monitoring climate change and global warming activity from space Was the first major higher education institution to sign the Climate Reality Pledge in January 2017, committing to 100% renewable electricity by 2030 CSU established the nation’s first emissions-control program, a reflection of Colorado State’s long-term involvement in clean and sustainable energy alternatives. Colorado State was one of the first universities in the country to offer green power as an option to the students living on campus

10 | December 2018 | GRADUATION

Through academics, research, and operations, CSU takes sustainability to the next level. There are sustainability related majors and minors in all eight colleges, and 962 of 2,633 courses are sustainability related. Various projects and grants allow students and faculty members to participate in research, contributing to the future of not only our campus, but the planet. Sustainability is the backbone of the university, and with a strategic plan and dedication to our community, CSU will continue to be a leader in this field for years to come.

Growing With You

By Amber Carvalho While you have been studying, making friends, and flourishing throughout your time in college, CSU has been growing right alongside you. Campus looks a little different now than it did when you took your first tour a few years ago. Many buildings have been added or remodeled to ensure thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a place on campus for you to relax, eat, and socialize while working towards your degree. Remember eating at the Corbett/Parmalee dining center? The dining hall undertook major renovation and opened up in August 2018 as The Foundry. This food hall now is the host of eight different micro-restaurants with options for everyone: comfort foods, vegan menu items, international cuisine, mexican dishes, italian foods, an ever-changing pop up menu, and even a creamery with Walrus ice cream. Ah, to be a Freshman again! In the fall of 2017, the college of Natural Sciences was upgraded as the chemistry research and biology buildings were built, creating the science mall on campus. These buildings have become a destination on campus for student collaboration and research and has offered more space and opportunity for two of the most prominent science-related majors at CSU. Now the college has the space that it needs as it continues to grow. The CSU Health Network no longer resides in Ayelsworth Hall or the Hartshorn Health Services Building. The CSU Health and Medical Center opened in the summer of 2017. CSU partnered with UC Health to provide a place on campus that offers a full range of mental health, medical, and health education and prevention services to students. The community receives services such as a walk-in clinic, family medicine, occupational health and rehabilitation services, nutrition coun-

12 | December 2018 | GRADUATION

seling, sports medicine, and more. This partnership has elevated the care and well-being of students on campus and members throughout the Northern Colorado community. The biggest project that was approved and built during the past few years is the new campus stadium. Students used to drive miles away to Hughes Stadium to cheer on our stalwart Rams. Now, everyone gathers at the on-campus Canvas stadium. Construction began summer 2015 and lasted until the 2017 season, but the stadium was well worth the wait. With unique perks, like the New Belgium Porch and the largest video board in the Mountain West, the stadium is one of the newest structures in college football. The stadium houses the Iris & Michael Smith Alumni Center, as well as general classroom spaces and meeting rooms. The list of CSU improvements is ever-growing, so there will always be something new to explore when you visit campus as an alumni - giving you more reasons to come relive the glory days.

Memories are everlasting of this place so great! May thy Green and Gold unite us, loyal ever be. Colorado State, our Alma Mater, Hail, all hail, to thee. The “A” The “A” is found painted on the western hillside of Fort Collins. It’s there in honor of CSU’s original mascot: the Aggies. CAM the Ram CAM’s name stands for “Colorado Agricultural and Mechanical” College (the university’s former name). Ram Ruckus Ram Ruckus is the university’s official spirit squad. The idea of Ram Ruckus is to create pride in everything students do at CSU. Founded in 2012, it was created by students, for students to engage in student life at CSU, specifically athletics. CSU Oval The Oval is the heart of the CSU campus. It was designed in 1909 as an aesthetically pleasing way to connect the main buildings on campus. Now, the Oval features historic buildings such as Johnson Hall, which was the original student center. I Love CSU Day!

By Amber Carvalho

Austin, Texas Austin has been ranked the number one best place to live in the U.S. for two years in a row. Residents are drawn to Austin for it’s arts and music scene and strong job market. With festivals like Austin City Limits and South by Southwest, there’s always something fun happening in the city.

Denver, Colorado Just a little over an hour away from Fort Collins, Denver remains a desirable city. Denver has a flourishing art scene, fun music venues, tons of breweries and close access to outdoor activities. It’s known to be a bit expensive, but the city won’t let you down.

Des Moines, Iowa Des Moines has a little bit for everyone. Entertainment districts house a variety of one-of-a-kind shops, hip bars and locally owned restaurants. If you’re craving fresh air, there are plenty of parks, bike trails, and lakes for outdoor recreation. Even though it’s a metro city, it offers a small-town feel and the people are kind and welcoming.

Fayetteville, Arkansas This community-focused city has an abundance of ways to get involved, offering a great way to meet new people. Fayetteville residents are friendly and treat newcomers as one of their own. The city is attractive to outdoorsy types with state parks, green space, parks and walking trails. For artsy folk, there’s live music venues and festivals to keep you entertained.

Portland, Oregon With the motto “Keep Portland Weird”, the city emphasises self-expression while mixing innocence with rowdiness.

GRADUATION GUIDE | DECEMBER 2018 | 33

Graduation Traditions Pomp and Circumstance “Pomp and Circumstance,” also known as “Land of Hope and Glory,” was written by Sir Edward Elgar in 1901. The title comes from a line in Othello that states, “Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!” The catchy tune became associated with graduation when Sir Edward Elgar received a doctorate from Yale and the song was played at his graduation in honor of his accomplishment. Cap and Gown The cap and gown tradition began in the 12th century when universities had no sufficient heating systems. Graduating students wore the cap and gown to stay warm during their graduation ceremonies.

Tossing the Grad Cap Tossing the graduation cap was started by the Naval Academy in 1912. Prior to 1912, the graduates were required to serve two years in the fleet as midshipmen before being commissioned, so they still needed their caps after graduation. Starting in 1912, however, graduates were immediately commissioned and received their officer hats, so they no longer needed their old caps.

GRADUATION GUIDE | DECEMBER 2018 | 35

Graduating Seniors By Amber Carvalho College has been some of the most memorable years of your life. As your time here comes to a close, we want you to look back on the memories that made you proud to be a CSU alum. Some of your fellow Rams reminisce and share their favorite experiences throughout their time on campus.

Sydney Sivertsen

Apparel and Merchandising Major with a Minor in Business Favorite Memory: Walking through campus as it was just starting to snow, it was late but people were still leaving the library and going to study. Even though you will never know everyone on campus, there is a sense of community as we all work towards our education. What I’ll miss most: Being able to stroll on campus and see friendly faces, I’ll miss the excitement of a new semester and the relief of one ending. Advice to upcoming seniors: Try not to let the realities of the real world scare you too much, it will all fall into place and you don’t want to waste your final months here worrying about the future. Why CSU: I initially chose CSU for the Apparel and Merchandising program, but I stayed because of the community and the constant support that I found here from friends and professors.

Austin Best

Supply Chain Management Major Favorite Memory: Hanging out and making new friends. What I’ll miss most: Football games and the bars. Advice to upcoming seniors: Don’t stress too much. There are always people to help if you need so don’t be isolated. Why CSU: The campus, and I like Fort Collins better than Boulder. What I’m most looking forward to after graduation: I’m looking forward to starting my career and making a salary.

Maura Williams

Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts Major with a Minor in Political Communications Favorite Memory: When you get to pet dogs during finals week at the library. What I’ll miss most: The recreation center. Advice to upcoming seniors: Enjoy your last year! Why CSU: CSU had interesting programs that I wanted to be a part of. What I’m most looking forward to after graduation: Having my weekends free from homework!

Seth Rutherford

Major and College: Journalism, Liberal Arts Favorite CSU Memory: Being able to live and work on campus over the summer. Campus is so mellow during the summer and nothing beats a round of volleyball or frisbee on an empty campus. What I’ll miss most: KCSU, the greatest college radio station in college radio. Advice to upcoming seniors: Skip class once in awhile and grab a drink with your friends. This last semester will fly by. Why CSU: Because Fort Collins is a delightful city to live in, filled with nice people, great bike paths and delicious beer. Stay blessed!

Professional Development Tips BUILDING CONNECTIONS: If you don’t have a LinkedIn, MAKE ONE! LinkedIn is a great tool for building your professional network and making connections around the globe. It’s also a convenient way to hear about jobs in your area of study or other areas of work that you might be interested in.

SET UP INFORMATIONAL INTERVIEWS: If you have a professional connection in your area, set up a meeting over coffee to gather information and obtain advice about their field. They might not be looking to hire you, but a positive impression can lead to positive connections that can be valuable in the future. Although it’s a casual meeting, be sure to keep it professional by showing up on time, bringing your resume and following up with a thank you.

BRAND YOURSELF: A brand is more than a name or logo, its a combination of impressions and experiences that can be associated with you. Having a clear articulate brand will make you stand out on paper or at an interview because you appear more confident and comfortable. This increases your credibility and it makes you more memorable.

ALWAYS FOLLOW UP: Whether you’re submitting an application or interviewing with someone, always follow up. After applying for a job, reach out a week later to check on the progress of your application if you haven’t heard back. Sometimes it just takes a small reminder to get someone to look at it and you’re showing your interest in the position. After interviewing with someone, send a follow up email to thank them for their time within 48 hours. This also shows interest and lets the employer know you value their time.
