CSU three-peats STARS Platinum sustainability rating

By Joe Giordano

Colorado State University is building upon its global reputation as an innovative leader in sustainability by becoming the only institution in the world to earn three Platinum ratings from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education. AASHE recently awarded CSU a Platinum rating for a record third time under its Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System (STARS), an independent program that measures comprehensive sustainability efforts at 990 universities around the world. CSU earned the best score in the United States at 88.14 points, joining Stanford University; Thompson Rivers University in Canada; University of New Hampshire, and the University of California, Irvine as the only institutions ever to receive Platinum ratings. CSU’s score was 2.58 points higher than its previous score in 2017. “To earn a third platinum rating with the best STARS score in the U.S. is incredible recognition of all the work done by the faculty, staff and students of Colorado State University. Sustainability is a true community effort, and we at CSU take sustainability as a point of pride in everything we do,” said CSU President Joyce McConnell. “Sustainability is not a plateau where we can say ‘we’ve done enough.’ There are areas where we can improve and become an even more sustainable place to learn and discover.”

No rest in quest for the best

In 2015, CSU was the first university in the world to earn a Platinum

STARS rating. The historic results were repeated in 2017 when CSU went Platinum for a second time. CSU has not rested since then. Since 2017, the University has added more than 335,000 square feet of new LEED Platinum- or Gold-certified classrooms, research space and offices. The League of American Bicyclists also recertified the institution as a Platinum-level community in 2019. CSU also created the Ram Food Recovery Program to redistribute food items, when deemed safe, to the campus community to address both food insecurity and waste. One student idea resulted in the creation of several student-managed apiaries on campus as well as pollinator-friendly gardens, which led to CSU’s certification from Bee Campus USA in 2018. “Our faculty, staff and students continue to probe sustainability issues in diverse fields,” McConnell said. “We uncover new challenges every day. And like other STARS-reporting institutions, we are passionately committed to addressing those challenges, solving the problems they bring, developing solutions and generating new ideas that will offer all of us hope moving forward.”

Backbone of CSU: Meet the Mountain Campus By Makenna Green

Mountain Campus is a critical and unique part of Colorado State University, one that takes a lot of teamwork to keep up and running for students and visitors. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Seth Webb, director of the Mountain Campus, and Rob Novak, director of communications for Warner College of Natural Resources, which holds classes and programs on the Mountain Campus. Both are CSU alumni who want to continue providing more resources and opportunities through this unique space. Built in 1914, the Mountain Campus has been a part of CSU’s history for over 100 years. It has served many, and those who work there strive to fulfill CSU’s land grant mission of education, research, and outreach, especially in environmental and natural resource disciplines.

Range of experiences

The Mountain Campus, up the Poudre Canyon 53 miles west of Fort Collins, provides a range of

outdoor experiences for CSU faculty and students but also for the community. The season begins after spring commencement and has students coming from Warner to study ecology and forestry in two- or four-week classes. In addition to Webb, the full-time Mountain Campus staff includes Tess McGinty, assistant director; Jessica Smolenske, conference coordinator; Larry Hennessy, dining services manager; and Tom Lorenz, general maintenance. The summer staff includes faculty and graduate students who teach as well as undergraduates who help staff conferences and group outings on the challenge course. One annual event that both Webb and Novak mentioned fondly is the Eco-Week. CSU partners with schools in the Poudre School District and beyond to bring fifth- and sixth-grade students to the Mountain Campus in the fall and help them experience learning in a different environment. Webb and Novak agreed that these types of partnerships are extremely valuable, and they would like to see more of these experiences made available to other groups.

donor and University funding has been secured to construct a new building that will serve as both a classroom and space for research. “This funding is helping bring a modern facility to the campus,” Webb said. One of Novak’s favorite things is that the campus is a “tight-knit community, oriented around the environment,” and it represents a lot of what CSU stands for as a university.

Research facilities

Check out the Mountain Campus website for up-to-date happenings at mountaincampus. colostate.edu. See the current conditions through the webcam and weather station at tvland.warnercnr.colostate.edu/

Although there has not been any new academic classroom or research-focused building constructed at the Mountain Campus in 50 years, several CSU colleges in addition to Warner conduct research projects there. This will change soon, however, as private

Celebrate Women’s History Month with suffrage-themed exhibit at Avenir Museum By Jeﬀ Dodge

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, the Avenir Museum of Design and Merchandising has created a suffrage-themed exhibition examining how women’s attire in the U.S. has changed in response to the activism of the times. The Colorado State University museum also has reinvented two exhibits launched last fall to commemorate CSU’s 150th birthday: “Proud to Wear: CSU150” and “Women Wear at CSU.” Both now feature new items that weren’t on display in the fall. “R.E.S.P.E.C.T. the Dress: Clothing and Activism in U.S. Women’s History,” opened Jan. 21 in the Avenir Museum Large Gallery and runs through May 23. Students in Curator Katie Knowles’ spring 2019 graduate course, “Care and Exhibit of Museum Collections,” helped research and plan the exhibit, determining the chronological order of the displays, finding historical photos and compiling text for the labels.

Libbie Coy dress

Visitors are greeted in the Avenir lobby with the perfect item to introduce all three exhibits: the 1890 wedding dress of Elizabeth “Libbie” Coy, who in 1884 was the only female among the first three graduates of CSU, then known as the State Agricultural College. Coy, who was the first woman to graduate from any institution of higher learning in the state, remained active at the college after graduation, founding the alumni association and working as an instructor. “R.E.S.P.E.C.T. the Dress” moves through U.S. history, documenting the clothing changes that came with the beginning of the suffrage movement at the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention, where 68 women and 32 men signed the “Declaration of Sentiments.” There are photos of a Native American woman wearing traditional dress as well as non-native school attire, and a self-portrait by photographer Frances Johnston in a most unladylike light for the times: wearing a boy’s cap and hiked-up skirts, smoking a cigarette and holding a beer stein. “Fashion as Self-Defense” features a blue picture hat that would have been held in place by a long hat pin, “which women discovered make great self-defense weapons,” Knowles said.

Proud to Wear, Women’s Wear

The spring version of “Proud to Wear: CSU150,” which runs through June 27, features a new collection of items that have a decidedly female bent, from a rodeo queen jacket and cheerleader outfit to former CSU basketball player Katie Cronin’s jersey and uniforms worn by the Hutton sisters, who all played softball for CSU. “Women Wear at CSU,” which runs through May 23, also features an all-new collection of attire and accessories on loan from women at the University. They include a dress made by the grandmother of Silvia Minguzzi of the Allicar Museum of Art; a suit from Erica Suchman of the Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Pathology; a wrap skirt made by Avenir Director of Operations and Engagement Doreen Beard in junior high; and a scarf from Suzanne Hale of the Allicar.

Our Colleges Through the Years

Beyond the A & the M: College of Liberal Arts By Rachel Gaisford Colorado State University’s College of Liberal Arts has existed under its current name and structure since 1992, but the liberal arts have been essential to the University since its first class in 1880. Leaders throughout CSU’s history have understood the importance of the liberal arts in preparing graduates to be engaged citizens and effective leaders in a rapidly evolving world. Elijah E. Edwards, the first president of Colorado Agricultural College, said, “A one-sided education produces an un-symmetrical man. By a liberal education, increased power and versatility is gained.” And thus, our agricultural and mechanical college integrated the liberal arts into its curriculum.

Liberal arts and the land-grant mission

Early Drama Club In 1879, President Edwards and two faculty members welcomed a class of five students. During their first year, these pioneering students took courses in English Composition and Analysis, U.S. History, and Rhetoric, along with more technical coursework in Horticulture, Farm Economy, and Practical Agriculture. President Edwards’ successor, Charles Ingersoll, served as CAC president from 1882 to 1891. Because women comprised nearly half the student body, Ingersoll hired the college’s first female faculty member, Elizabeth G. Bell, in 1885 to teach English, history, and modern languages. Also during the Ingersoll era, students’ exploration of the liberal arts extended beyond the classroom. Literary societies were the first student organizations on campus, and in 1883, a Department of Music was created to offer lessons in vocal and instrumental music. In 1891, the Rocky Mountain Collegian published its

first issue, making it one of the oldest student newspapers in the West.

Changes and challenges

The turn of the 20th century brought with it challenges and changes for the country. Resource shortages brought on by World War I and the Dust Bowl underscored the need for advances in agricultural production. The rise of manufacturing foreshadowed a shift from what had been a primarily agricultural economy, and women’s issues were in the spotlight as the country followed Colorado’s lead on women’s suffrage. Colorado became the first state to grant women the right to vote by popular referendum in 1893, 27 years before the U.S. ratified the 19th Amendment. Colorado Agricultural College continued to prepare its students with an education that was both liberal and practical. By 1930, 1,072 students were enrolled. Growth and shifting priorities prompted the creation of the Division of Science & Arts in 1934, followed by a new name – the Colorado State College of Agricultural & Mechanic Arts – in 1935. Charles Lory served as president from 1909 to 1940 and is widely credited with developing Colorado A&M into a respectable land-grant institution with a balanced curriculum. Under Lory’s leadership, B.F. Coen, who served as head of both the English and history departments, introduced courses in debating and public speaking, short story writing, journalistic writing, and sociology. Professors Ruth Jocelyn Wattles and Alfred Westfall engaged students with a thriving drama club, a winning intercollegiate debating team, and the Scribblers Club – a group of students and faculty who gathered to write poetry, plays, and humorous articles. Elizabeth Forbes, the head of the Physical Education Department for Women, brought dance to the college with classes, clubs and performances in the Ammons Hall.

the importance of a well-rounded education to create an informed and engaged citizenry. In 1957, under the leadership of President William E. Morgan, Colorado’s land-grant institution became Colorado State University. The new name reflected the desire to become a world-class research university with a strong liberal arts foundation. During this era, the Division of Science & Arts became the School of Science & Arts before finally becoming the College of Science & Arts in 1959. As the Baby Boomer generation headed to college, the University’s student population jumped to more than 15,000, creating an immediate demand for campus infrastructure. CSU constructed the Liberal Arts Building and Social Sciences Building (later renamed Eddy Hall and the Clark Building) to provide space for the departments of English, philosophy, languages, speech, anthropology, economics, history, political science, and sociology.

Demand for cultural relevance

In 1968, the School of Humanities & Social Sciences split from the College of Science & Arts to meet the demand for broader curriculum. The school continued to grow in both enrollment and scope, adding eight undergraduate and graduate degrees between 1969 and 1979. As the University continued to expand its liberal arts offerings, the school was elevated to the College of Arts, Humanities, & Social Sciences in 1977.

Higher education for American democracy

The “golden age of higher education” was a time of rapid growth for Colorado A&M. After a slight dip in enrollment during World War II, the number of students grew to more than 4,000 as returning veterans took advantage of the G.I. Bill. This era brought with it an emphasis on the liberal arts nationwide, as President Truman’s Commission on Higher Education emphasized

Spaces and Places of the Liberal Arts From the first English and history classes held in Old Main to dance performances in Ammons Hall, the liberal arts have had many homes on campus. The four buildings that make up the modern core of the College of Liberal Arts each occupy a unique space in CSU’s history.

WILLARD O. EDDY HALL The Liberal Arts Building was constructed in 1963, providing a home for the departments of English, philosophy, education, languages, and speech. The building was renamed in 1978 to honor retired faculty member and liberal arts advocate Willard O. Eddy. In 1997, flood waters ravaged Eddy Hall, damaging the basement and destroying more than 500,000 books. Through a series of bond initiatives, the building was revitalized with new exterior finishes, additional space, and upgraded accessibility features. The updated building re-opened to students in 2015.

ANDREW G. CLARK BUILDING Architect James Hunter proposed a social sciences complex with two threestory buildings joined by a two-story bridge. His vision was realized in 1968 with the opening of the Social Sciences Building. The facility housed the departments of anthropology, economics, history, political science, and sociology. In 1977, the building was renamed to honor professor and researcher Andrew G. Clark. The Clark Building is a workhorse on campus, serving students across nearly all majors. In 2017, 70 percent of all undergraduates took at least one class in the building.

VISUAL ARTS BUILDING After a fire in 1970 burned down Old Main, where many of the arts classes were held, new art facilities were proposed by department chair Perry Ragouzis. Ragouzis insisted that a modern art curriculum be supported by a modern art building. A parents’ association supported him and advocated to the University and the board of governors to invest in a proper art building.

UNIVERSITY CENTER FOR THE ARTS In the early 2000s, the Office of the President and the student body joined forces to fund a world-class facility for music, theatre, dance, and visual arts. The 225,000-square-foot University Center for the Arts opened its doors in 2009. The historic building, which originally served as Fort Collins High School, features five performance venues and two museums. Note: The Communication Studies department is housed in the Behavioral Sciences Building, which was constructed in 2012.

Our Colleges Through the Years

Innovating throughout history: College of Natural Sciences through the years By Lisa Streeb Case When Colorado State University was founded in 1870 as the Colorado Agricultural College, it had a profound mission – to provide access to education for anyone willing to attain it. While the focus of the land-grant mission was on studying “the agricultural and mechanic arts,” the natural sciences were essential to the understanding of those fields. Foundational science classes were among some of the first offered by the school, and today they are part of the University’s core curriculum. Physics, biology, mathematics and chemistry were fields of study harnessed to the practical applications of agricultural research at CAC. Since the establishment of the College of Natural Sciences at CSU in 1968, these disciplines have been joined by biochemistry and molecular biology, computer science, psychology and statistics as major centers of both theoretical and applied research and education for the University.

Here are a few pivotal moments in the history of natural sciences at CSU.

1880 Natural science courses were among the ﬁrst classes oﬀered at the Colorado Agricultural College.

1968 College of Natural Sciences is formed.

1883 CSU Herbarium founded.

In 1973, construction began on the new Visual Arts Building. Both Hatton and her successor Perry Ragouzis were honored for their contributions to the department with spaces in the new building – the Clara Hatton Gallery and the Perry N. Ragouzis Sculpture Garden.

Renewed emphasis on outcomes

Colleges across the country experienced a “baby bust” during the 1970s and 1980s. Enrollment growth stagnated, and higher education was forced to once again re-imagine its purpose. Would graduates be prepared for the world they would to graduate into? At the same time, Liberal Arts faculty were nationally and internationally recognized for their research, creative artistry, and community engagement. Philosophy professor Holmes Rolston III was awarded the Templeton Prize in 2003 for his advances in environmental ethics and the intersections of science and religion. English professor Mary Crow served as Colorado’s poet laureate for 14 years beginning in 1996. Philosophy professor and bioethicist Bernard E. Rollin was honored as a University Distinguished Professor in 2001 for his work as a leading scholar in animal ethics and animal consciousness. The College of Arts, Humanities, & Social Sciences officially became the College of Liberal Arts in 1992. Loren Crabtree, who was serving as dean at the time, said, “We wanted to give ourselves a real identity, to say that we were an integral part of this institution. Not just integral, but foundational.”

2018 Diana Wall elected to National Academy of Sciences.

The University Center for the Arts – the historic Fort Collins High School renovated to house instructional space, museums, and stunning performance venues – opened its doors in 2009. Eddy Hall, dated and damaged from the 1997 flood, underwent a substantial renovation in 2014.

Book report: The Gringa is based on real life By Makenna Green In Andrew Altschul’s new book The Gringa, he creates a fictional story around real-life events and explores how these events affect a person’s life. His inspiration came from the story of Lori Berenson, who was convicted of treason in Lima, Peru, in 1996 and sentenced to life in prison. Over the years, there was constant media coverage, and many spoke up for and against Berenson. Her parole in 2010 sparked public anger and led to death threats to her and her son. Like many others, the story fascinated Altschul, who was living in Peru during the late 1990s. As a young American, he found himself fascinated by the story and what would cause someone to affiliate with a militant splinter group that broke away from the Communist Party of Peru. Paired with his interest for how individuals’ actions are distorted, it created a base from which Altschul, now an associate professor and director of creative writing in the Department of English at CSU, wrote his third novel. The novel took seven years to complete, as he explored the national trauma that the war had brought to a country he loved. This book felt like a way to give back to Peru and dive deeper into what truly happened.

Altschul has written two other novels, Deus Ex Machina and Lady Lazarus, both of which challenge and dissect something that often creates problematic situations. In this third novel, he challenges the reader to contemplate how things we do and how what we say can easily be distorted. Altschul spends a lot of time with graduate students wanting to write their own novel. His advice is to never write a novel because you feel you need to. He shares his experience with his students and encourages them to create their own unique way of storytelling. Besides spending his time writing, teaching is something he enjoys very much. “It gives me energy,” he explained. With a project always in the works, there will be more novels coming from Altschul.

The Gringa will publish March 10 and be available for purchase at the CSU Bookstore. There will also be a public reading on April 15 at 6 p.m. at Old Firehouse Books on 232 Walnut St. in Old Town.

AP Council gives back through community service opportunities across campus By JJ Nelson

Service and Outreach, a sub-committee of the Administrative Professional Council, made a goal to engage more APs across campus to give back to our university family and community. They kicked off the New Year strong by dropping off three carloads of donated winter gear items collected across campus. “Murphy Center for Hope/Homeward Alliance were very grateful and excited to receive our donations,” said Service and Outreach co-chair Barb Gutison. Upcoming service projects include collaboration with Rams Against Hunger, where you will find many APC members volunteering their time at the March Mobile Pantry. This is a great service the SLiCE office has provided to our students and staff who are struggling with food insecurities. On average, 900 students and staff utilize the Mobile Pantry to gather up to 20 pounds of fruits, vegetables, dairy, and baked goods.

Myths about classified evaluations busted by CPC By Classiﬁed Personnel Council State Classified performance evaluations are right around the corner. Colorado State University Human Resources would like to dispel a few myths surrounding the review process and the steps you can take to make the most out of your review. Myth #1 A supervisor’s decision to give out a “3” rating will be scrutinized by HR and discouraged. NOT SO! There should be a performance plan for an employee that clearly defines what type of work duties will qualify for a “3” rating. The employee should be able to meet with their supervisor and have it communicated to them if they are on par with what would be considered Exceptional Performer status as defined by state personnel rules. It is up to the supervisor to communicate those expectations and work with employees who want to achieve that level and help them get there. An employee looking to perform at a high level should be encouraged to do so and rewarded with a “3” rating if benchmarks for that rating are met. There are no “quotas” for any rating in the system, and no directive from HR limiting how many 3s (or any other level) in existence. Myth #2 By not signing my performance review form, I am “oﬃcially” disputing my rating. NOT SO! If you disagree with your performance rating, you must initiate a formal dispute by completing a CSU Performance Management Dispute Resolution form (hrs.colostate.edu/pdfs/formperformance-management-dispute-resolution. pdf) and provide it to your supervisor within three working days of the event that resulted in the disagreement. According to State Department of

Personnel guidelines, issues that may be disputed are: • The employee’s performance plan (or absence of a plan); • The final overall performance evaluation rating, including lack of a final overall evaluation; • The application of the CSU Performance Management Program to the employee’s plan and/or final overall evaluation; and, • Complete payment of the performance salary adjustments as per the CSU/PMP. The following matters are not disputable: • The content of the CSU Performance Management Program; • Matters related to the funds appropriated; • The performance evaluations and performance salary adjustments of other employees; and, • The amount of a performance salary adjustment, unless the issue involves the application of the CSU Performance Management Program. MYTH #3 There is nothing I can do to inﬂuence salary increases because the Colorado Department of Personnel and Administration dictates how much I will receive. NOT SO! Although the State Personnel Director specifies and publishes the percentage ranges for performance levels, the amount is determined by your state legislators! Contact your legislators (leg.

colorado.gov/find-my-legislator) and your governor (colorado.gov/governor/contact) and let them know what an increase means to you. Your supervisor must review your Position Description Questionnaire (PDQ) when planning for the upcoming performance cycle. Ask to participate in that review and make sure your PDQ is up to date! If your job has changed significantly, you may ask to submit an updated PDQ for review to determine if the changes warrant movement to a higher classification (promotion). Employees who promote via individual position audit (PDQ review) may receive an increase of up to 10% over the employee’s current salary. Your review and planning discussions are also a great opportunity to speak to your supervisor about professional goals and begin a dialogue about how to grow in your current role, prepare for a new role or develop additional skills, – all of which can help position you for advancement. MYTH #4 Employees cannot direct their own performance management plan. NOT SO! A good performance management program inspires employee commitment through participation, and includes self-evaluation by employees who have an understanding of their place in the organization and their contribution to its success through active participation in the planning process. Employees should be involved in all aspects of the performance management process for their work.

Interactive NCAR exhibit in Scott Bioengineering through March 12 By Emily Wilmsen

THINGS YOU SHOULD

KNOW ABOUT

NOCO NOSH

It has been a really long and hectic day and the last thing you want to do is cook dinner tonight… so what are your options to get your favorite local restaurant to deliver your favorite meal? You could definitely use huge national corporations like Grubhub, DoorDash and even Uber Eats but these out-of-state businesses are hurting many smaller, independently owned restaurants. Did you know that NoCo Nosh is a local, independently owned and operated alternative food delivery service in Northern Colorado run by some of your favorite local restaurants? Noco Nosh is an alternative to Grubhub, DoorDash, and Uber Eats because these corporations charge restaurants unsustainably high commission rates and NoCo Nosh charges roughly half of what the major players charge.

There is a problem with representation for restaurants. When customers order from Grubhub they treat customers as their own, not the restaurants’. Restaurants do not receive customer information so if something goes wrong (the order is wrong, delivered late, etc.), they never hear about it until they see a deduction on their weekly payment because the customer was given a refund and they were charged for it. The Nosh model is transparent and the customer is the restaurant’s customer.

“Real People, Real Climate, Real Changes” – a traveling exhibit launched by the National Center for Atmospheric Research or NCAR – is on display at the Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering this spring. The interactive exhibit is open to the public in the Scott Bioengineering Building atrium through March 12. The college and NCAR also hosted a panel March 3 featuring some of the top climate scientists in the field, including Tami Bond, Ellison Carter, Emily Fischer and Russ Schumacher from CSU. Using pictures, infographics, and personal stories, the traveling exhibit explains how scientists know the climate is changing, what that future may look like, and how the impacts are affecting people, from flooding and drought to sea level rise and severe weather. The exhibit, which builds on NCAR’s popular climate exhibit at its Mesa Laboratory in Boulder, also allows visitors to explore how their own choices make a difference.

Strong ties to NCAR

The engineering college has many strong ties to NCAR, especially in the Atmospheric Science department, which conducts fundamental research on climate dynamics and climate change. Former NCAR director Jim Hurrell is on the faculty and also serves as Scott Presidential Chair in Environmental Science and Engineering. “Our faculty are conducting innovative research on energy, air quality, protecting our environment, and water – all areas impacted by climate change – so we are excited to showcase this exhibit,” said Dean Dave McLean. “NCAR and Jim have given us a wonderful opportunity to better connect with our community, and also help tell the story of the science behind climate change.” “Real People, Real Climate, Real Changes” was developed by NCAR and the UCAR Center for Science Education to help share the science of climate change and how it impacts people’s lives. This exhibition was made possible with funds provided by the National Science Foundation.

They put restaurants back in charge.

They focus on customer service.

They keep local dollars in our community.

Grubhub, etc. is not in the food-industry but they are technology companies that exploit small, local independent restaurants who end up paying the bulk of the cost of food delivery. Owned by independent local restaurants who control the company through a board of directors and voting rights, NoCo Nosh believes food delivery should belong to the restaurants, not to a Silicon Valley venture-capital funded large corporation. Local restaurant owners who understand food delivery own Noco Nosh and believe delivery is an extension of the service they provide to their customers. Because of this mindset, they do all they can to offer their customers the best possible experience.

Grubhub, etc. is a large corporation whose ultimate goal is to make money so they can return it to their investors. They will take as much money away from local restaurants as they can. The goal of NoCo Nosh is to keep our local dollars here in Northern Colorado and help strengthen the health of our economy.

the next time you are not in the mood to cook SO dinner and want to order delivery check out NoCo Nosh and support local businesses. You can download the NoCo NOSH app in both Google Play and Apple stores and if you use the coupon code FREE4RAMS you can receive FREE DELIVERY on orders of $15 or more!

Bite-by-bite:

Taking steps toward a more plant-forward diet By Ali Armstrong and Kalyn Garcia Kendall Reagan Nutrition Center encourages Colorado State University to celebrate healthy eating for March’s National Nutrition Month. This year’s Nutrition Month theme, “Eat Right Bite By Bite,” is a reminder that each bite you take is an opportunity to influence your health. Plant-based meals are growing in popularity as research suggests their positive impact on human health and the environment. Plant foods including fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes are a good source of fiber, vitamins, minerals and other phytochemicals. These nutrients can help prevent — or decrease the complications related to — heart disease, stroke, obesity, high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, and many cancers. Dietary guidelines recommend eating five (or more!) servings (cup equivalents) of fruits and vegetables per day to help prevent disease, and most Americans eat half that amount. The good news is that it’s not necessary to eat solely plant-based meals to reap these health benefits. In spirit of “Eat Right Bite By Bite,” any plant-focused meal, snack or bite is beneficial. Being “Plant Forward” — the practice of prioritizing plants on the plate — can be a style of cooking and eating that accommodates many different nutritional needs. There are many fast, easy and delicious ways to incorporate more plants into your diet. Remember, every bite counts!

Action Steps, —Start Simple • •

•

• • •

Plan out your week to include a meatless meal or two. Think Meatless Monday. Rather than planning a meal around a meat entrée, pick a seasonal vegetable to be the star of your plate. Eggplant Parmesan or stuffed peppers can be hearty meatless dishes. Add extra veggies into the meals you already make such as smoothies, dips, pasta dishes, casseroles, soups, tacos, pizza and sandwiches. Frozen chopped spinach is very versatile and can easily be cooked into many savory dishes and smoothies. Get creative with healthy fats like avocados, nuts, and seeds by adding them to stir fry, tacos, and sandwiches. Mix lentils, beans, chopped mushrooms, soy crumbles, or nuts to displace some meat in dishes like burgers, tacos and meat sauce. Spiralize vegetables to add to a pasta dish. Zucchini, carrots, and beets work well with spaghetti.

Experiment with adding plant-based protein sources to your diet • • •

Beans and lentils are inexpensive and a great source of protein. Nuts provide healthy fats, protein, and fiber to keep you feeling full and energized. Soy products like tofu, tempeh, and edamame are great meat replacements.

•

Whole grains have more protein than refined grains.

Plant-Forward Meal Ideas • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Stand up and be counted: 2020 Census coming By Makenna Green

This year, 2020, is a federal census year. Everyone in the nation will be counted, based on where they are living on April 1. The census takes place every 10 years, as mandated in the U.S. Constitution. An accurate count is crucial for states when it comes to funding and representation in Congress. That is why Colorado State University and Larimer County are working hard to encourage students to report their Fort Collins address as their residence. The census report is based on your address as of April 1, 2020, so even students living on campus need to report the residence hall as their address. Nik Olsen, assistant director for administrative communications for CSU, explained that what many people don’t realize is that participating in the census is important because so many things are determined by how the population is distributed. He said that everything from funding for transportation to where fire stations are located is dependent on the census numbers.

First time to respond

Many CSU students may not even realize the census is happening this year and for many, it is probably the first time they themselves are completing the questionnaire. When students don’t report or report incorrectly, without realizing it, they are negatively impacting the Fort Collins community. For example, the Campus West area had one of the least accurate counts in the nation in the 1990 census. This is an area that the state of Colorado and City of Fort Collins will target to receive a more accurate count this year. Federal and state funding for education, including Pell grants, is just one of the items affected by the census count. This is why it is key for students as well as faculty and staff to accurately report where they live as the census does affect us all on campus. With all the development that has taken place in Larimer County over the past three decades – the number of housing units has more than

doubled, from 78,000 in 1990 to 152,000 in 2018, according to the state demographer – how do census takers know where to put their counting efforts? Olsen explained that the city of Fort Collins uses aerial photographs from 2010 and current shots to compare where new buildings and developments have gone up. A great way to encourage students to complete the census is by simply educating them, Olsen said. Watch for more communication from the administration this month. As Olsen explained, this is a great way to give back and support the community where we reside. We all benefit from what the numbers provide, so, it is key that we all do our part when the time comes. For questions on the census or how to respond go to 2020census.gov; to see how the state of Colorado uses the numbers the census provides, go to demography.dola.colorado.gov.

Campus Trivia with Russ Schumacher

Tom Hickey has only been with CSU Police Department since April 2019, but he was curious about which building on campus was the first dormitory, so he looked it up. On the Morgan Library history site, he found that Spruce Hall was constructed in 1881 to attract more out-of-town students to Colorado Agricultural College. The oldest existing

building on campus has a colorful history – the school’s first female professor actually served as Matron of the Hall, for example – and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In his role as assistant emergency coordinator, Hickey works with large-scale events on campus as well as with building proctors to update their building safety plans. Before joining the Ram Family, he spent 32 years in law enforcement in Michigan, retiring from the Ann Arbor force in 2017. He “retired” to Fort Collins, but came to CSU because “I actually like to work.” For having his answer selected at random from all the correct answers submitted, Hickey received a special collection of swag celebrating CSU’s 150th anniversary, and a $20 gift certificate to the CSU Bookstore. (He received his major award at the Colorado Emergency Management conference in Loveland, where State Climatologist Russ Schumacher, the winningest Ram ever to appear on Jeopardy!, gave a presentation on severe weather before

autographing a sesquicentennial bandana.) This month’s question is a two-part visual clue:

Q. Where on campus is this plaque located today? Where was it originally located?

Not only is it cold and flu season, with the start of Spring Break a couple of weeks away, but new cases of the novel COVID-19 coronavirus are being diagnosed around the world every day, and travelers are understandably concerned. The CSU Health and Safety website – safety.colostate.edu/coronavirus -- provides the latest updates on how the University is responding to the outbreak, as well as links to state and local health departments and the federal Center for Disease Control and Prevention with real-time updates on the spread of the disease. Check it out before you head out for break. If you do travel, know that an airplane is one of the most likely places to pick up any kind of illness. The air in the plane holds less moisture and oxygen, so passengers’ immune systems won’t work at optimal levels because mucus membranes get dried out in the throat and nose and can’t protect the body from the 99% of diseases that they typically protect every day. Luckily, there are some things people can do before and during a plane ride to help prevent getting sick:

Get plenty of sleep before the flight

Getting seven to eight solid hours of rest the night before a flight can help ensure your immune system is performing at its maximal levels.

Eat healthy snacks

Eating fruits, vegetables and lean protein before and during a flight allows your body to have all the vitamins and nutrients it needs to keep you healthy.

Bring sanitizing wipes

Use sanitizing wipes on every surface you come into contact with on your flight. This includes the arm rests, tray tables, seatbelt, tv screen and seat back pocket. Although it may be best to avoid the seat back pocket altogether because people treat them as trash cans and put anything and everything in them.

Bring hand sanitizer

If you can’t wash your hands before eating or touching your face in an airport or on an airplane, the second best thing is to use hand sanitizer since you don’t know all the surfaces your hands may have come in contact with. Just make sure the bottles are 3.4 oz or less.

Bring your own water bottle

Bring an empty water bottle with you through security then fill it up before getting on the plane. This way, you can stay hydrated without spending a ridiculous amount of money buying a plastic water bottle. Drinking enough water will also help keep your mucus membranes from drying out.

Try to sit in a window seat

Window seats hold a significantly smaller amount of germs than aisle seats since aisle seats are the ones that everyone walks by multiple times before, during and after flying.

Skip the alcohol and coffee

Alcohol and coffee make you more dehydrated in a shorter period of time making it more difficult for your immune system to do its job. Alcohol in a less oxygenated space also makes your liver work harder and takes away the energy your immune system needs.

Flex your calves

Sitting for a prolonged period of time in a plane can raise the risk of deep vein thrombosis because of the lack of blood flow that can develop. To keep your blood flowing, you can flex your calves by performing movements, like tapping your feet, to work your shins, thighs and hip joints.

The bottom line

College campuses aren’t the only or easiest ways a person can get sick during the year. The environments of airplanes contain the perfect ingredients to get people sick if they aren’t careful. But if you keep yourself hydrated and healthy and you sanitize airplane surfaces, it will be easier for you to enjoy your destination and return to campus without a cough.
