Colorado State University President
A Letter from Nick DeSalvo
Your ASCSU President
To the Fall 2024 Graduating Class,
Firstly, congratulations on achieving this incredible milestone in your educational journey. Whether you come from a long lineage of academics or you are the first in your family to obtain a degree, this is an accomplishment you deserve to be proud of. I hope your time at Colorado State has prepared you to take on the challenges you will face as you enter the professional world or as you continue your academic career.
In my time as Student Body President, I have had the privilege of sending off remarks for graduates each semester, but this letter hits closer to home as I am nearing graduation in the Spring. We are all accustomed to hearing the cliche, especially during our first year, that, “These four years will pass by incredibly fast,” but until now, I have never fully appreciated the truth in that phrase. In your time here at CSU, you have made lifelong friendships, experienced incredible intrapersonal growth, and become a more well-rounded citizen of the world. Despite these realities, it is a mistake to look back on your life at 80 years old, holding your short-lived college days as the best times of your life.
Granted, for many of you, this experience was incredible. I have certainly felt that myself. However, your time here was meant to serve as the bedrock for the rest of your future rather than the peak. It is likely that you may be feeling some uncertainty about what is in store for you after graduation, but you probably felt that same uncertainty when making the decision to come to college four years ago. A virtue that will serve you well is the ability to be comfortable with the uncomfortable.
Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” Whatever you choose to do after graduation, be bold, have faith that your time here has prepared you to deal with life’s challenges, and always continue charging forward. Show the rest of the world what a CSU Ram is made of!

Make it memorable with a photo booth with fun props and a delicious spread, and get on aux! With some planning and creativity, your graduation party could be a celebration you’ll never forget.
TREAT YOURSELF
Take a break from the responsibilities of life, and treat yourself. Indulge in some well-deserved self-care.

If parties aren’t your thing, don’t worry. There are plenty of other ways to celebrate your achievement. Do the things that you enjoy. Go to a concert, see a play, have a spa day, go for a hike, or get brunch with close friends and family. It’s important that celebrating your success is a celebration you enjoy. With a non-traditional celebration, you can avoid the small talk and hassle of a party while still spending quality time with those you love.
DO NOTHING
If you’re not in the mood to celebrate at all, then don’t! Instead, bask in your accomplishments, and go about your day. Celebrating should make you feel happy. So if not celebrating at all feels right, that is valid. So acknowledge the hard work and dedication that went into earning your degree — graduating is no small feat.
SPEND QUALITY TIME TRAVEL
Grab your bags, chase a new horizon, and get traveling! You deserve a break after all your hard work, and what better way to unwind than traveling? Whether it’s a road trip to a national park, a weekend getaway to the mountains, or a week-long trip to the coastline, traveling can help you catch up on much-needed rest while letting you check something off your bucket list. This can be especially valuable if you’re about to start a new job and want to take some time off before diving into the next chapter of your life.

Years of Change
CLARK REVITALIZATION AND GROUNDBREAKING
In the heart of campus, the Andrew G. Clark Building revitalization is underway. Originally constructed in 1968, the Clark Building is one of the most utilized buildings on campus. Regardless of their major, 99% of Colorado State University students will take at least one class in Clark during their academic career. On April 25, 2022, the College of Liberal Arts received funding from state legislation and the governor to begin the revitalization, and on October 30, 2024, CSU broke ground, kicking the renovations into high gear.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF CHRISTMAN FIELD IMPROVEMENTS
In October 2024, the Colorado 2nd Congressional District Rep. Joe Neguse presented Colorado State University with $500,000 to renovate the Christman Airfield. This facility will support the protection of Colorado’s natural areas and provide an updated location for aerial firefighting and emergency management. Along with this, the Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering will also be able to better train the future UAS pilots and further develop new technologies related to aerial imagery.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF NEW AI ENGINEERING FACILITY
At the 2024 president’s Fall Address and University Picnic, CSU announced plans to develop the Don and Susie Law Engineering Future Technologies Building. With $110 million donated, this new building will replace Glover Hall, allowing admission of an additional 700 enrollees by 2032. This new building will have a focus on artificial intelligence and digital engineering, providing future CSU students the opportunity to receive some of the best engineering education in the country.
NEW VET COMPLEX
April 30, 2024, CSU breaks ground on a new $230 million expansion of the veterinary medicine facilities on campus. With over 213,000 square feet, two state-of-the-art classrooms, and eight new high-tech exam simulation rooms, CSU continues to raise the bar for advancing modern practices in veterinary medicine. This well-rounded facility will set CSU as one of the highest-ranked veterinary medicine schools in the country.

More Than a Color
Green isn’t just a color at Colorado State University; it’s a way of life for students, faculty, and staff. Sustainability has continuously proven to be the foundation of CSU’s academics, research, and service. The university’s unwavering commitment to sustainability consistently ranks among the top sustainable academic institutions in the country.
The Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education recognized CSU’s sustainability efforts with four consecutive platinum statuses under their Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System, which evaluates the sustainability efforts of 1,225 campuses worldwide. CSU’s four consecutive platinum awards highlight its dedication to environmentally friendly measures. The association also gave CSU a perfect score in engagement. This includes both curriculum and research focusing on sustainability.

Harvey, Josh Hoogs, Emily Howe, Jory
Along with platinum ratings, the university has garnered recognition for its environmental contributions. CSU secured a spot in Sierra Club’s Top 20 Cool Schools 2021 for recognition of its sustainable practices. The Princeton Review also included CSU in its 2024 Green College Honor Roll alongside only 45 other schools nationwide. This is CSU’s 11th consecutive year earning a perfect score in its Green Rating System. Since 2018, CSU has been an official affiliate of Bee Campus USA, recognizing the university’s pollinator-friendly gardens and student-managed apiaries. Today, CSU remains the only university in Colorado with a “Bee Campus Certified” distinction.

Ram History and Traditions
Fight Song
Fight on you stalwart Ram Team, On to the Goal! Tear the (opponent’s) line asunder, As down the field we thunder. Knights of the green and gold, Fight with all your might! Fight on you starwalt Ram team, Fight! X3, Go Rams!
1968 Beer-In
Ramskeller Pub & Grub first opened in 1969 after CSU students held a “BeerIn” and protested for their right to drink on campus. They proposed that beer should be sold in the coffee shop of the LSC, which is now Ramskeller, the only on-campus bar at CSU.
History in Color
Out with the orange and in with the new, CSU’s original colors were pumpkin orange and alfalfa green when university students were the Aggies. Now, being a Ram at CSU means dressing up in green and gold for game day.
Alma Mater
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Colorado State. 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 Oval
Designed in 1909, the Oval is the heart of the CSU campus. It was designed to connect the main campus to historic buildings like Johnson Hall, the original student center.
CAM the Ram
CAM’s name stands for “Colorado Agriculture and Mechanical” College. This was the name of CSU until 1957.
I Love CSU Day
On April 18, 2023, the Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, signed a proclamation declaring April 18 as “I Love CSU Day” across Colorado. This tradition leads to events all day and special deals across campus and all throughout Fort Collins.
Undie Run Ram Band
Every year on the Friday before finals week in the spring semester, thousands of CSU students gather to run across campus in their underwear. Even when faced with backlash from administration, the tradition continues and allows students to blow off steam.
For the past 22 years, CSU students have been able to go bar hopping between three different bars for j ust $12 on Thursday nights. This affordable tradition allows CSU students to connect with their peers and their community.
Congratulations! Summer and Fall 2024 Graduates Dean Lise Youngblade

How CSU Helps Their Graduates
You probably wondered why you should purchase the Alumni Association Annual Membership when you bought your cap and gown. This membership allows you access to valuable resources, including career assistance after graduation. All alumni are eligible for an individual consultation with an alumni career coach and two additional coaching sessions. If you purchase the membership, you can use these services for an entire year after graduation.
If you didn’t utilize the CSU Career Center resources while a student, there’s no better time to use them than after graduation. The Career Center provides interview preparation, resume editing, mental health support, and resources for LGBTQIA+ job seekers. The best part is, career advising is free for all alumni. Along with this, the university hosts career fairs tailored to alumni. You can find the schedule for upcoming career fairs on the alumni association website.
For those looking for professional development opportunities, CSU has you covered. CSU offers a series of webinars to alumni seeking to help graduates in their personal and professional lives. These webinars cover various topics, such as salary negotiations and time management. You can also access past webinar recordings on the alumni association website if you cannot attend a live session.

Advice for Graduates
IT’S OK NOT TO HAVE IT FIGURED OUT
When we were younger, we thought adults had everything figured out and knew what they were doing. The truth? Nobody does! It’s perfectly OK to fly by the seat of your pants and just wing it sometimes. After all, nobody’s perfect.
It’s normal to feel a little lost on where to start your post-grad life. Many Colorado State University graduates have felt the same way, and it’s OK not to have everything figured out right away. Here’s some advice from those who have been in your shoes.
LEARN TO SAY “NO”
Saying “no” doesn’t mean you’re mean or aggressive; it’s necessary to protect your time and energy. It’s essential to be honest with yourself and others by setting boundaries and prioritizing your needs. Taking care of yourself is not selfish but necessary for your well-being.
BE COMFORTABLE WITH BEING UNCOMFORTABLE
Life can be uncomfortable, especially when you take risks, try new things, or meet new people. But feeling uncomfortable is entirely normal, and you shouldn’t be discouraged. So many opportunities come from venturing outside your comfort zone, so embrace the discomfort, and see where it takes you.
FAILURE IS PERFECTLY NORMAL
Failure presents an opportunity to learn and try again. It’s OK to be upset after failing, but don’t dwell on it too long. Staying open to criticism and accepting that you may not always get things right can help you grow. How you handle those failures will ultimately determine your success!
ASK QUESTIONS
Leave your hubris at graduation! Asking questions may feel like admitting ignorance, but it’s a sign that you’re open to learning. No one knows everything, and seeking advice, insights, and information can help you grow. So ask all your questions, even the ones you’re afraid to ask. It shows that you’re committed to developing and improving your skills.
SELF-CARE IS IMPORTANT
The shift from college life to graduation to full-time work can be a challenge, so it’s crucial to take care of yourself. Whether trying out that new recipe, firing up a relaxing bubble bath, goofing around with friends, or catching up on some much-needed rest, finding ways to recharge is crucial for your mental and physical health. Self-care isn’t a luxury but a necessity for thriving in your new routine.
