Letter to Graduates From CSU President Tony Frank
“Your achievement comes as a result of years of hard work, long hours, and a persistent focus on this goal-so now is truly your time to celebrate.” Dear Graduates, Congratulations on your upcoming commencement! Your achievement comes as a result of years of hard work, long hours, and a persistent focus on this goal – so now is truly your time to celebrate. This is a great occasion for you and for Colorado State University, so on behalf of the all the faculty, staff, and alumni of CSU, I just want to say that we are enormously proud of you and what you’ve accomplished. While this may mark an end to one chapter of your life, it also marks the beginning of the next – and there is good reason to be optimistic about what is to come. Countless financial analysts continue to demonstrate that a college degree ultimately has a greater payoff than a similar investment in the stock market. The Brookings Institution calculates the return on investment on a student loan at 15 percent annually. College graduates earn on average $1 million

more over their working lives than people without a bachelor’s degree. In other words, you’ve made a great investment in yourself and your future. But you can’t measure the value of a college degree in economic terms alone. During your time at Colorado State, you’ve faced up to new challenges and experiences. You probably had some classes you can barely remember and others that transformed the way you think about the world. The person you were when you first came to CSU may seem very different to you from the person you are today – and the person you will become as you go one with your life and put your education to work. After all, the most important payoff from your investment of time and money is what you actually do with the skills, knowledge and credentials you’ve acquired at Colorado State. Our world needs you – your ideas, your passion, and your commitment. The world is waiting for you. We
have problems that need fixing. How do we feed a world whose population is expected to grow to 9 billion in the decades ahead? How do we safely and sustainability meet the world’s energy needs? How do we combat the rapid spread of disease in a world that seems to get smaller day by day? How do we move beyond the divisions and “isms” that hold us back and find the common ground that will allow our society and our world to move forward? How do we help instill hope and a sense of real potential in younger generations that see these challenges coming their way? As educated women and men, these challenges are now yours. The solutions won’t be easy or obvious – if they were, my own generation would have solved these problems a long time ago. But I have full confidence that those solutions are within your reach. CSU was founded nearly 150 years ago, thanks to a signature
from President Abraham Lincoln that authorized the creation of Land Grant universities. (I couldn’t pass up one last chance to pass on a Lincoln quote to you.) On December 3, 1863, in his now famous annual address to Congress, he spoke these words: “The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and so we must rise with the occasion. As our situation is new, we must think anew and act anew.” You are leaving CSU to venture off into the new – and that path is yours to clear and build. Your graduation is, indeed, a beginning. Make the most of it, and take on your future with a sense of optimism and the confidence that you’ve made an outstanding investment in your future. Congratulations again to the outstanding graduates of the Class of 2017! Dr. Tony Frank President

CELERBATING OUR TIME AT CSU By Melissa Leavenworth Each of us followed different paths to find ourselves in a similar position this week. While our journeys varied in obstacles and challenges, we all made our way here to celebrate one huge feat: graduating. For one moment, pause and bask in the accomplishments that brought you here. It was not without struggle that you met your project deadlines, finished your academic papers and completed your internship hours. With
every moment that you felt you couldn’t feel any lower, you matched it with a moment of triumph. You fought to find the balance among a healthy social life, good grades and adequate self-care. Sometimes it was a toss-up between a night in Old-Town or cramming for the next big exam. Other times it was whether to stay in bed for mental rest, or making it to all of your classes for the day.
At times, you prioritized your academic life over selfcare and your social life. You decided to stay in and study like crazy for the big test, and go to classes even when you could use a day to decompress. It is not without reward that you made those sacrifices. Though let’s be honest, you didn’t spend all of the nights studying that we could have. You felt the guilt of procrastination with each decision to go to a football game, dance at a rager, or take time for a good nap.
Over the coming days, we will celebrate all of these things together. The good and the bad. We’ll celebrate the friendships we formed, accomplishing our dreams, and finding another piece of ourselves. We’ll celebrate every ounce of effort and energy that went into building us up to this pivotal week.

Investing In Our Future ON-CAMPUS ADDITIONS During your time at CSU, you’ve had to navigate around the construction of some pretty impressive projects on campus. These additions are one of the ways that CSU invests in present and future students. Here’s a recap of the projects of your time.
COLORADO STATE STADIUM The most notable edition to campus at CSU is the new Colorado State Stadium. The stadium cost $220 million includes around 40,000 seats. The opening game was a sell-out as Rams celebrated the new addition to campus. The new stadium not only features athletic space. The New Belgium opened the New Belgium Porch at the stadium. The multipurpose stadium also features academic space. The Collaborate for Student Achievement moved from TILT to a new space in the stadium, and classrooms were included as well.
CSU HEALTH AND MEDICAL CENTER The new CSU Health and Medical Center was designed to be a comfortable environment that removes the negative stigmas around seeking care. The $59 million building was made possible through CSU student fees, CSU Health Network revenue, tenant leases and private donations. One of the most exciting features of this project is the reflection space where students, faculty and staff from all cultures can experience a quiet environment for relaxation, reflection, mediation and prayer.
THE SUZANNE AND WALTER SCOTT, JR. BIOENGINEERING BUILDING The new CSU Health and Medical Center was designed to be a comfortable environment that removes the negative stigmas around seeking care. The $59 million building was made possible through CSU student fees, CSU Health Network revenue, tenant leases and private donations. One of the most exciting features of this project is the reflection space where students, faculty and staff from all cultures can experience a quiet environment for relaxation, reflection, mediation and prayer.
THE MICHAEL SMITH NATURAL RESOURCES BUILDING EXPANSION Expansion began in the spring 2017 semester on the Michael Smith Natural Resources Building. The College of Natural Resources is thrilled for the building to open in fall 2018, as it is ever-expanding. With the support of CSU students, the University Fee Advisory Board approved a $20 million donation, funding a majority of the project. The building will be crafted with durable and sustainable materials and feature spaces with extensive natural lighting.
THE BIOLOGY BUILDING With more than 1,400 students, biology is CSU’s largest major. The major badly outgrew its space and inspired the creation of the $70 million, 155,000-square-foot building. More than 60 percent of all CSU undergraduates participate in classes offered by the biology department, so beginning this semester, students from nearly any discipline can benefit from the new addition. The building offers collaboration space for students to ask new brave questions and brainstorm innovative ideas.
THE CHEMISTRY RESEARCH BUILDING The new Chemistry Research Building was mostly funded by the state of Colorado. The $55.4 million addition to campus opened this semester and gave the Department of Chemistry an opportunity for growth and innovation. The new research space includes walk-through laboratories rather than isolated ones. The building was designed to allow students and faculty to collaborate and flourish.
THE GREGORY ALLICAR ART MUSEUM EXPANSION A mysterious donation of $2 million enabled CSU to expand the art museum by 6,000 square feet. The anonymous donor was allowed to rename the museum in honor of the gift. Doors officially opened at the Gregory Allicar Museum of Art in the fall 2016 semester. The improved museum features renovated galleries which allowed the museum’s collection to grow. With students in mind, the addition also included a learning center with space for workshops, presentations, and public outreach.

HEALTHY LIVING AFTER COLLEGE Now that your undergraduate career is over, you may not have access to some of the resources that you did here at CSU. Being part of a university has huge benefits, like the five free counseling sessions that students get each semester at CSU. If you didn’t during your undergrad, now is the time to prioritize your health first and foremost. Be sure to account for physical, mental and social health. Keep in mind, what is considered “healthy” is different for each person and you should act according to what is best for you.
PHYSICAL
It doesn’t necessarily become any easier after undergrad to make time for healthy eating and adequate exercise. Be sure to feed your body the fuel it needs so you can have the best possible foundation in place for a good day. This involves a varied diet created to meet your nutrition needs. It is best to see a registered dietitian to figure out what is best for your body. Part of giving your body what it needs includes staying hydrated, so keep a water bottle handy at all times. Consider swapping out sodas and sugary fruit juices for lemon and cucumber water instead. This reduces your sugar intake and keeps you more hydrated. Exercise can become a tedious task, especially if you are moving to a city. This doesn’t mean you can’t benefit from the positive effects of exercise. Be sure to create a regimen that works and is enjoyable for you. If you don’t like public gyms,
10 Graduation Guide | Fall 2017
find some indoor workouts online. If you hate lifting weights, try Pilates. The bottom line is that you’ve got to keep your body moving. Make sure you get plenty of sleep, you’re going to need it with all of those big opportunities ahead in postgrad life.
MENTAL
Tune in to how you feel each day. You may want to keep a journal or written record of your ups and downs so you can see any patterns associated with them. Understanding these patterns will give you a better chance at taking care of your mental health. Be sure to take breaks. I know that you probably didn’t hear this in your undergraduate career, but you do not have to be productive every day. You need some down time to manage stress and do the things that bring you joy. What is all of that work without a sense of being content anyway? It’s a great idea for some of us to find a mental health professional right after leaving CSU. While many see counseling as merely damage control, it can be a staple to maintaining your mental health. It allows you to process the things that effect you on a daily basis, before you overwhelmed by unprocessed feelings and emotions.
SOCIAL You don’t need tons of friends, but you do need a few close relationships. Interconnectedness is an import-
ant aspect of well-being. Interacting on social media alone doesn’t count! Ask yourself: “Who do I call when I have a bad day?” Do you have a list of about three people who are there for you when you need them? If not, it’s a good idea to form some deeper connections. This is especially important if you are moving to a new place. Making friends after college may not come as easily. You’ll need your support system there on days you’re feeling lonely. Be sure to put yourself out there and go to events that might attract people that you would like to meet, so that you’re forming new connections and strengthening your social circle.

STAYING CONNECTED The social scene of the academic world is something many of us will miss when we leave. Try these tips for making new connections and maintaining old ones.
1. Social Media: Nearly all of us use social media, and while face-to-face interaction is preferred, that’s not always a possibility if you move away from your friends and family. Social media is a great way to keep in touch with your old friends and family while you’re off making new connections.
2. Phone: If you’re feeling lonely, pick up the phone and call a friend. It’s a classic way to feel more connected with the people you love.
3. Hobbies: If you’re in a new place, or not, a great way to meet new people is in a space

Job Seeking Advice Networking Step 1: Identify Professionals in Your Field Ask all relatives, friends, parents of friends, neighbors, members of social, civic or professional organizations in which you participate, current supervisors, professors, co-workers, guest lecturers, etc. if they know someone working in your field who might be willing to chat with you. Step 2: Call Professionals and Request Meeting(s) Introduce yourself including your name, major, how you got their name. Ask if they would be willing to allow you to visit them in their office for 30 minutes so you could learn more about the field and get advice on finding jobs and/ or internships in the industry. Step 3: Develop a List of Questions for the Meeting Identify 5-10 questions that will solicit information useful to you. Research the individual and the organization, then tailor your questions to what you have learned. Step 4: Conduct Interviews Dress and conduct yourself professionally by being on time and being prepared with your questions. Never ask for a job or a job interview. You can ask: “If I were to apply for a job with this organization, how would I go about doing it?” “What are good organizations in this field?” or “Is there someone else in this organization you might refer me to for an additional informational interview?” If you are serious about the organization and the field of your contact person, you may want to bring a polished resume to the interview. Consider asking the professional to review your resume and offer you feedback. If you need help with a resume, consider the CSU Career Center.
22 Graduation Guide | Fall 2017
Step 5: Follow Up Always send a thank you note and stay in touch. Ask follow up questions later and keep them posted on how things are going through brief email updates!
Resume Tips Career Fairs can be daunting events for job seekers. However, being prepared can ease a lot of the nerves that are associated with the event. One way that students can be prepared is by feeling confident in their resume. Here are some key tips to help make your resume stand out. 1. Don’t use a template. The majority of students use a template so if you use one you simply won’t stand out. 2. Identify tangible deliverables Example: Served as a TA to a class of 300 students. 3. Make it relevant Focus on what you have done in your past and how you have done it. Use action verbs to describe what you have done. 4. Have updated contact information 5. Proofread Nothing makes you stand out more, and not in a good way, than a bunch of typos and grammatical errors.
Dressing for Success Yes, you are being judged. In the world of job interviews, a neat, professional appearance goes a long way in making a positive first impression, and like it or not, your physical appearance has a bearing on your success, even if that’s not a requirement in the job description. Here are a few things to think about:
From the CSU Career Center
• The interviewer will decide within the first 10 seconds of meeting you whether you are right for the job. First impressions matter! • Nonverbal cues (such as what you wear) have four times more impact than verbal cues (such as what you say) on the impression you make. Keep in mind that what is appropriate dress for some industries may not work in others. An interview with a conservative business firm likely requires different clothing choices than one with a software developer or ad agency. Where to get it Now that you know what not to wear, you need to obtain it. You may already own the right stuff, or you can borrow certain items. For students without the financial means to purchase clothing, help is available. Jeremy Podany, director of The Career Center at CSU, and his family established the Podany Interview Attire Fund, which provides up to $250 per student for approximately four students per semester. It’s open to all students, and special consideration is given to those who identify as first-generation, underrepresented ethnic and racial minorities, and military veterans.

SETTING GOALS AFTER GRADUATION For many of us, receiving our degrees will open new doors. It is important for us to discern which doors are best to walk through. Here are some things to keep in mind when you’re choosing your opportunities.
KEEP YOUR VALUES IN MIND When creating goals for your future, do so with your values in mind. Values are core beliefs that we hold beyond situational context. They are closely associated with our self-concept, and when we don’t follow them, we experience a sort of cognitive dissonance. Values are different in each individual. If you’re not sure what you value, it’s good to start out with a list. Ask yourself, “what are my non-negotiables in life?” Perhaps you prioritize fairness above kindness, or punctuality over work quality.
24 Graduation Guide | Fall 2017
Once you’ve identified your values, be sure to ask yourself this question after each goal you establish: “does this goal align with my values?” If the goal does align, then you’re likely heading in a good direction.
WRITE DOWN YOUR GOALS Writing down your goals is key to making them achievable. Writing them down makes them feel more real, and encourages us to go after them. You’ll likely have dif-
ferent kinds of goals. Keep in mind which are more achievement-oriented or experience-oriented. Are your goals based on job promotions or learning valuable skills? While achievement-oriented goals are beneficial for getting us where we want to be in our professional lives, we are happier when we pursue experience-oriented goals.
KNOW WHEN TO LET GO OF GOALS The whole “no one likes a quitter!” mentality has had its day. No
longer will it make us feel immensely guilty for leaving behind the opportunities that do not benefit us. Knowing when to let go of goals that are not for us keeps us on track with the aspects of life we truly want to pursue. It is up to each of us to decide when to be resilient and continue with difficult goals that we want to accomplish, and when to let go of goals that do not sit right with us any longer. One reason for letting go may be that the goal does not align with your personal values.

SELF-CARE PRACTICES Post-grad life can be even more stressful than college. When the going gets tough, you’ve got to take care of yourself. Check out these self-care ideas.
1.
Write down three things you are grateful for every day. Practicing gratitude daily makes it easier to focus on the positives in life.
2.
Take one moment each day to savor. Whether it’s a cup of coffee or a quiet moment to yourself, the practice of savoring a moment a day will bring you back to the present.
3.
Spend time doing something you love. At times, we might be so wrapped up in our professional lives that we forget that we have hobbies and things we love to do. Take some time each day to do a little bit of something you love. After all, what’s all this work without some sense of contentment?
4.
Hang out with friends, or don’t. Some of us need more social time, and others of us need less. Evaluate what’s best for you. Do you feel lonely or a little drained? Act according to what works best for you.

When You Started College In 2013... Top Song/Video of the year
Dance Craze
Ylvis “What Does the Fox Say”
Twerking Miley also introduced us to 2013’s most popular dance craze: Twerking. If you don’t know what twerking is (what cave have you been living in?), it is a sexually provocative dance move where you stick your butt out and shake it all around - it’s all in the hips and the booty. Twerking is popular in hip-hop music videos. Miley Cyrus is known for flaunting her twerking skills at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. Also, the word ‘twerking’ was the runner-up in the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year in 2013.
Word of the Year A pair of Norwegian brothers got this ridiculous song stuck in our heads because it seemed to be constantly playing throughout 2013. The video came out in September 2013 and now has over 590 million views as of April 2016. Did we ever actually find out what the fox says?
The Harlem Shake Admit it: You either made one of these videos, or watched them constantly during 2013. Nobody can resist jumping up and dancing wildly when that beat drops. The video went viral in February 2013. By April, thousands of videos had been uploaded with over 1.21 billion views in total. The song also reached #1 on iTunes.
Miley Cyrus “Wrecking Ball” Video You either love her or you hate her, but you can’t deny that Miley Cyrus made quite a statement in 2013. Who can forget the day the Wrecking Ball music video came out and the world saw Miley swinging naked from a giant wrecking ball? If the hair chopping and the VMAs charade didn’t showcase her transformation enough, this video surely did. The video was released in August 2013, and broke the Vevo record for the most views in the first 24 hours with an astonishing 19.3 million views. It also won Video of the Year at the 2014 VMAs and World’s Best Video at the 2014 World Music Awards.

“Selfie” Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook and every other social media app has fueled the selfie phenomenon. Whether you like the high angles or the mirror selfies, chances are you spent a lot of your time in 2013 taking pictures of yourself. According to Samsung, selfies make up 30% of the photos taken by people aged 18–24. “YOLO” Ah yes, the acronym you love to hate. YOLO, in case you didn’t know, means You Only Live Once! This motto was popularized in 2013 by the rapper Drake. It sounds cool when he says it, not so much when we say it. The phrase has been overused, but ultimately it has a positive message. People started saying it as a way to remember to live life to the fullest and take chances while you can. However, there was also a lot of criticism that the phrase was promoting reckless behavior.
Moment in History Colorado Amendment 64
Colorado Amendment 64. Marijuana became legal in the Mile High state. I’ll be blunt: there is no need to weed through the facts on this one. Just ask your buds! Whether you do it or pot, I mean not, personal use of marijuana became a legal option for those over the age of 21. At first you couldn’t, but now you CANnabis.
