Dear Class of 2022,

Congratulations! I am writing on behalf of the faculty, staff, students, and alumni of CSU to say how proud we are of you and all that you have accomplished. is is a moment of celebration for you and your families, and it is also a time for reflection, both on the experiences that have brought you to this point and on the goals and values that will guide you in the years ahead.

You are graduating at a unique time in the history of this university, the country, and the world. e lessons of the global pandemic are numerous, and you’ve also experienced a period in which social and economic challenges have stretched so many of us in different ways. My hope is that you will take from this a clear sense that the world needs you. It needs your creativity and compassion. It needs your problem-solving skills, and your ability to collaborate and bring together people with different strengths, perspectives, and ideas. Most of all, it needs your resilience, and your commitment

From Interim President Rick Miranda

to the notion that the world can be better than it is, and that we all have a role to play in making that happen.

Each day, just reading the local and national press, we are reminded of problems great and small that face our communities and the world. And each day, walking across campus, visiting classrooms, library spaces, the student center, laboratories in many buildings, and coffee shops on and off campus, we are also struck by the concern, energy, vitality, and focus of our students, all in various stages of their studies, but all preparing themselves – and already starting – to make an impact. Today may mark one of the last moments of your formal education; but it is a passage forward into the next part of your journey, one which we all anticipate with great hope.

at hope derives from being part of an academic community that is guided by its values as a land grant institution, created to focus on solving problems, meeting the needs of society, and increasing access and opportunity. Year after year, and semester after semester, we experience renewal within this community as we welcome new students and celebrate the achievements of our newest graduates. You’ve inspired us during your time here, and we look forward to staying in touch in this next phase as you go out into the world as CSU alumni and find new ways to make a difference in the world.

Congratulations, again, to the Class of 2022!

Rick Miranda

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, live the life you’ve imagined.”

HENRY DAVID THOREAU

From ASCSU President Robert Long

Fall Class of 2022:

Congratulations on graduating and moving onto a new chapter in your life. Whether it took you 2 years or 5 years to get your degree, the CSU community is proud of you all and the sacrifices you made to get where you are. Regardless of if you have a job lined up, moving onto graduate school, or still need time to figure everything out, we are excited to see the impact that you leave on the world as CSU alumni.

Additionally, upon your graduation, you are all going to evolve to become more respected leaders within the communities you touch. With this leadership comes great respect and responsibility that should be valued with the utmost priority to maintain the reputation of being a CSU Ram. e following quote by Ernest Shackleton has dramatically altered the way I view leadership: “People will only remember 10 percent of your accomplishments as a leader and 90 percent of how you treated others as a leader.”

When you venture into the unknown feats that the world has to offer, instead of asking yourself “Why is this happening to me?” ask yourself “What is this trying to teach me?" I cannot guarantee that it will help your situation, but you’ll leave that challenge a wiser and more refined individual. Additionally, while making you a wiser individual, you in turn also develop a growth mindset and have a more positive outlook at life.

Finally, I’ll leave you all with the same piece of advice that I told the incoming freshman class, do something bold. Renowned businessman Elon Musk has this to say to graduates at the University of Southern California: “As you get older, your obligations start to increase and once you have a family, your obligations not only affect the wellbeing of yourself, but your family as well. Before you have those obligations, I would encourage you to take risks now, and do something bold. You won’t regret it.”

Fall Class of 2022, I hope you take at least one of these pieces of advice and carry it into the next (and arguably most important) part of your life. Your laughter, energy, and creativity will be greatly missed, and we hope you don’t stay away from CSU for too long.

All the best, Robert Long Student Body President 2022-2023

Upgrade in bicycle and pedestrian tra c patterns

At the beginning of the 2021-2022 school year, you may have noticed that the bike lanes got a makeover. Colorado State University added new traffic patterns all throughout campus to make the pedestrian and bicycle traffic to make if flow better and improve safety for everyone on campus.

Masks no longer needed on campus

After two years of wearing a mask due to the pandemic, on Feb. 10, 2022, Joyce McConnell sent out a mass email to announce that starting on March 3, 2022, masks will no longer be required while indoors on campus. Colorado State University allowed students to make the personal decision to wear or not wear masks while attending their classes.

Expansion of the Denver Campus

Colorado State University has continuously expanded their campus to Pueblo, online, Fort Collins, and now Denver. e CSU Spur opened in January of 2022 as a free, public, year-round educational institution focusing on food, health, and water.

New Lory Student Center renovations

During your time at CSU, one building has been a staple of campus: e Lory Student Center. While this may still be true, the North end of the building has gone through a lot of changes. is renovation began during the end of the 2021-2022 spring semester and has recently wrapped up construction.

From in-person classes to online then back again

Spring break of 2020 was extended, but we would never have guessed that the time we spent in class before break would have been the last time we were in a classroom for a while. e Covid-19 pandemic made everyone work remotely. After a year of working remotely with other students and teachers’ online classes were (mostly) gone. Campus started to get the spark of students and teachers attending class in person.

CSU Lagoon got a makeover

Before the dreaded stay at home order, you may remember the lagoon was blocked off with construction tape and was undergoing a renovation. e Lagoon has been on campus since the 1960s and the renovations allowed faculty, staff, and students to spend more time at the lagoon, with the addition of border seating along the edge. e Lagoon is also home to the Summer Lagoon Concert Series.

Colorado State University started e Agricultural College of Colorado opening their doors in 1870, with only two faculty members. Today, Colorado State University has grown to have eight colleges and 55 academic institutions. Traditions and history have shaped Colorado State University into what it is today.

CAM the Ram is the trusty mascot of Colorado State University, but the name CAM is more than just something that rhymes with Ram.

CAM stands for “Colorado Agriculture and Mechanical” college, which was the university's name when they opened their doors in 1879.

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.

Since Colorado State University's original name was “Colorado Agriculture and Mechanical College” or Colorado A & M for short, the students who attended were referred to as “Aggies.” An “A” was painted on the mountains in 1924 and is painted over by the freshman class every year.

Constructed in 1909, the Oval was the thing that connected the main campus buildings. Historical buildings such as Johnson Hall, which took the role as the original student center, and the music building which was originally the library, surround the Oval.

Each year at CSU brings about a sense of excitement and curiosity surrounding who the next noteworthy alumni will be. While each alumni brings individual talent and skills to the table, here are some that have stood the test of time and made a name for themselves.

Leslie Jones

Of all those that have attended CSU, Leslie Jones may be the most famous. Known for her hilarious appearances on Saturday Night Live among various TV shows, Jones was also a redshirt basketball player during the 1986-87 season. Jones most famously appeared wearing CSU apparel during a commercial appearance in the 2021 March Madness tournament.

Shaquil Barrett

Signed in 2014 to the Denver Broncos, Shaquil Barrett has worked to make a name for himself in the NFL as an outside linebacker. Barrett is now a two-time Super Bowl champion and a two-time pro bowler. During his time in the NFL, Barrett has always been sure to endorse CSU and never forget his roots that are embedded in Fort Collins.

Cory Gardner

Well-known for his time as a United States Senator from Colorado, Gardner graduated from CSU in 1997. A Republican, he was the U.S. representative for Colorado's 4th congressional district from 2011 to 2015 and a member of the Colorado House of Representatives from 2005 to 2011.

Amy Van Dyken

Attending CSU from 1994-1996, Amy Van Dyken is an American former competitive swimmer, Olympic champion, former world record-holder, and national radio sports talk show co-host. She won six Olympic gold medals in her career, four of which she won at the 1996 Summer Olympics, making her the fi rst American woman to accomplish such a feat and the most successful athlete at the 1996 Summer Olympics.

Rebecca Skloot

Graduating with a bachelor’s degree in 1997, Rebecca Skloot is an American science writer who specializes in science and medicine. Her fi rst book, " e Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks," was one of the best-selling new books of 2010, staying on e New York Times Bestseller list for over 6 years and eventually reaching the number 1 spot.

You’ve graduated! After years of hard work and dedication you have emerged into the world, but you may be a little lost on where to start. at is completely normal. Each CSU graduate that has come before you have felt the same way at some point. ey didn’t have it all together right away and you do not need to either. So, here is some advice from those that have been in your shoes and know what it feels like to wonder what comes next in this great adventure.

NO ONE HAS IT ALL TOGETHER

No one knows what they are doing. e people you looked up to when you were younger, the people you thought had it all figured out, have no idea what they are doing. It is OK to just wing it, no one is perfect.

YOU WON’T GET YOUR DREAM JOB RIGHT OUT OF COLLEGE

Yes, it’s great to think about graduating college and going straight into what you’ve always dreamed of doing, but that’s not the reality. It’s OK not to have the job you’ve always wanted right out of college, you have your whole life ahead of you to get there, just enjoy where you are now.

LEARN TO SAY “NO”

For some people, saying no is not an issue, but for others, it can be impossible. You will learn quickly in your professional and personal lives that taking on too much is not healthy. You should learn how to say “no” when you know that saying “yes” will impact other parts of your life.

IT’S OK NOT TO KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO

Not everyone will graduate college and know exactly what they want to do with their lives. Surely you have been having this realization as you’ve gotten closer to your graduation date.

Asking yourself “what am I supposed to do with my life,” is a natural thing that everyone does. Taking some time exploring different jobs can help you figure out what it is you want to do.

IT’S OK TO FAIL

Everyone fails every once and awhile and failing just gives you an opportunity to learn and try again. People view failing as something that is negative, but the one thing you should do is realize that failing is probably one of the best things you can do. is also means you should be open to criticism. Accepting that something you did wasn’t completely correct can help you in the long run learn and grow.

LEARN TO COMMUNICATE

Many people have learned excellent communication skills, but a lot still haven’t. Learning how to communicate well with other people will help you when speaking to potential bosses and in your personal life.

Effective communication skills are always key to understanding other people and helping them understand you.

ASK FOR HELP

Asking for help can make some people feel like they sound like they don’t know anything. Asking for help just means that you’re open to learning new things. Not everyone knows

everything and when you ask for help it shows that you want to learn the correct way to do things. is will also save yourself and other people a lot of time in the long run.

TAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF

You may have some more personal time after graduation. Going from being a full-time student with a job/internship to just having a full-time job can be a little big of a shock. Take some time to yourself, whether that’s relaxing at home, going out with friends or working out, taking time for yourself can help your mental and physical health.

CONTINUE LEARNING

Just because you have graduated college doesn’t mean you should stop learning new things. ere are so many opportunities where you can continue your education without being in school. Again, not one person knows everything there is to know, so there are always new things to learn about.

TRAVEL IF YOU CAN

No one ever said “Wow, I really regret taking that trip to Europe after I graduated.” Go see new places, learn new languages and cultures, eat different cuisines. You’re young and can go out and see the world, so why wouldn’t you?

How long are the CSU Career Services available to me?

For up to one full year after you graduate, you can access all the Career Center’s services, exactly how you would during your time as a student. is includes drop-ins, appointments, and all events. After one year, you can still access services. Visit https://alumni.colostate.edu/ career-services/ for more information. Our events are open to alumni. If you would like to attend an event as an alum, please contact Angela Hayes through email to RSVP. Her email is angela.hayes@colostate.edu

If I don't have an internship lined up yet, how can I search for opportunities now that I'm not on campus?

ere are many ways for you to search for internships. Here is a comprehensive look at our internship search resources: https://career.colostate.edu/topic/internship/

My employment o er was rescinded, what did I do wrong?

It’s quite likely that you did nothing wrong. While it doesn’t happen often, companies will sometimes rescind job offers because they’ve just received new information about their earnings last quarter, the economy or some other factor outside their control and decide that they can no longer offer the job. If your offer is rescinded, ask for feedback about the reason to see if there is something that you can do to guard against that possibility next time. Be very careful to remain positive. If you are still interested in their company, tell them that and ask if there are other positions that might be a fit. Give yourself a day or two to process what happened and then make a plan for moving forward. Resist the urge to post something negative about the company/rescinded job offer on social media. Show your resilience and confidence that you will land a new job. en, reach out to your network, former employers, and other companies that you turned down when you took this job. Research companies that you are considering applying at to make sure they are in good financial standing and have not been rescinding job offers and/or conducting layoffs. If you don’t find what you are looking for in a full-time job, you might consider working with a staffing agency for a shorter project-based position to sharpen your skills and add to your resume.

How has the job market changed in the past year?

While the job market was very strong for a good part of this last year, changes in the economy have negatively affected some sectors due to rising inflation, the possibility of a recession and swings in the crypto market. We are certainly seeing some lay-offs and hiring freezes. Banking/ finance, fashion, and blue-chip companies like Peloton, Netflix, Tesla, Meta, and Twitter are conducting layoffs while companies like Uber have plans to scale back hiring. Many of these layoffs are due to a great deal of hiring during the pandemic as companies scaled up their workforces to meet demand. However, there are still currently millions more jobs open than there are qualified people to fill them. is is because other industries are seeing more demand as the pandemic eases. Even those laid off will find it easy to find new jobs. It is still a “seller’s market.”

How am I supposed to know exactly what I want to do after graduating?

Most people don’t know exactly what they want to do after graduation. e potential mistake (depending on your perspective and the amount of time you have) that I see most often is for a recent student to just take “any” job and see if they like it and it’s a good fit for them. If it isn’t, they quit and then choose another job to try. Another way to go about this process and save a lot of time is to choose four to five things that you might want to do and then set up informational interviews with people who are doing those jobs. Ask them questions to learn more about the job and help determine if it sounds like a good fit for your interests, abilities, and values. Request that they allow you to job shadow to learn even more. You might also do short volunteer or paid projects in your areas of interest to gather more helpful information. Not only will this help you narrow in on your areas of interest, but it’s a great way to network your way into just the right job for you.

for Young Professionals

Seattle, WA is home to endless opportunities and while it is dissimilar from the nearly year-round sunshine of Colorado, the rain brings about a different lifestyle. Seattle has become a hotspot for technology and is in the top 10 cities for leading employers in the country for this very reason.

Heading East from Fort Collins, Charleston, SC is a top destination for young adults looking for job opportunities, affordable housing, and a budding nightlife scene. is city brings about fresh opportunities and a different culture than Colorado, making it one of the most attractive destinations for recent graduates.

San Francisco, CA is a vibrant city with something for everyone. e food scene is incredible and there are endless opportunities for outdoor activities. e city is home to some of the world's top companies, and there are always new businesses popping up. San Francisco is a great place to network and enjoy life because of the city's diverse culture and the job market.

Close to home and close to the Rockies sits Denver, CO. With familiar activities and values in this city just south of Fort Collins, you can keep with your Colorado roots and enjoy the city life of Denver with outdoor recreational activities just nearby.

While sitting closer to the equator with year-round warmer weather in comparison to Fort Collins, the southern city of Austin, TX, is a major technology hub and is increasing its sustainable living efforts drastically. e state also has no income tax.

Congratulations 2022 Graduates!

It Wasn't Always Cam

Before the well-known CAM the Ram was the mascot for CSU, there were multiple unexpected animals that represented the university. These four-legged creatures each possessed their own personality and left behind a different legacy.

Peanuts the bulldog

Peanuts the English bulldog was the first known mascot of Colorado State University, previously known as Colorado Agricultural College. He began his service in 1913 and was quickly recognizable by students across campus. Peanuts found his fame by attending every home football game. He would triumphantly bark from the sidelines and then lead students onto the field for halftime parades.

After witnessing the Aggies take home two football championships in 1915 and 1916, Peanuts traveled from Colorado to New Jersey with the Battery “A” artillery unit during World War I. He provided companionship to those he bunked with in training camps and even marched alongside the men in a New York City parade.

When his soldiers boarded their ship and were deployed to Europe, Peanuts headed back to Colorado. However, unfortunately, Peanuts met a grim fate back on campus. In 1918, he passed away after an unknown suspect poisoned him.

Teddy the Bear

The next furry creature to represent Colorado Agricultural College was Teddy the Bear, a 15-month-old black bear. Teddy began his reign directly following the death of Peanuts in 1919. The bear belonged to a former member of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, Frank Miller. Just like Peanuts, Teddy could be found on the sidelines of football games. He was even featured in a 1919 film that is believed to be the earliest footage of campus.

Besides the fact that he was a domesticated black bear, Teddy was famous for his Aggie sweater that he wore to each sporting event he attended. This sweater became so well known that a group of mischievous students from CU Boulder attempted to steal it from Teddy, the Rocky Mountain Collegian reported. Luckily, this plan was thwarted by 24 valiant CSU freshmen and Teddy’s sweater remained safe.

After a run of a little less than a year, Teddy the Bear retired as mascot. Over 100 years later, though, his legacy lives on.

Gallant Defender

Flash forward 17 years to 1936 and CSU, now recognized as Colorado State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (A&M), met its next mascot: Gallant Defender. Gallant Defender was a white English bulldog that greatly resembled past mascot, Peanuts. The Denver Kennel Club gifted the animal to CSU alumnus Glenn Morris after he won a gold medal at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games.

Similar to Gallant Defender’s predecessors, he sported a green and gold cape with a large Aggie “A” printed on it. His collar was also decorated with the words, “A Champion for a Champion.”

After less than two years, the champion retired and little was mentioned of him.

CAM the Ram

In 1945, the legendary CAM the Ram mascot took his post. The students deemed “Rams” as the best fit for Colorado A&M after voting on multiple animals. One year later, the first live ram mascot made his appearance at a basketball game against the University of Denver. However, the first ram was given the name “Buck,” not CAM. It was not until 1954 when CSU President William Morgan announced that the mascot would, from then on, be called CAM. The name CAM was a clever acronym of CSU’s previous title, Colorado A&M, and conveniently rhymed with “ram.”

Today, CSU still uses CAM the Ram, and the tradition of an animal ambassador continues on. CAM now has a team of student handlers that take him to events, run across the end zone with him, and tend to his needs. The ram lives with other livestock at a secret location off campus where he is under 24-hour supervision.

The current CAM the Ram is number 26 and has been around since 2020. Previous rams have either passed away or retired, giving another young Rambouillet sheep the chance to shine. At sporting events, CAM 26 is accompanied by a costumed mascot to help generate school spirit among fans.

insider Mascot facts

CAM is a Rambouillet sheep. Contrary to popular belief, CAM the Ram is not a bighorn sheep. Although his mighty horns do resemble that of a bighorn, he is a Rambouillet. This breed is known to have some of the finest wool of all sheep.

Peanuts was a mischievous menace. The bulldog was known to chase unsuspecting students on campus and bite car tires in parking lots.

Teddy the Bear was almost the victim of a crime. A group of CU Boulder students attempted to steal Teddy’s game day sweater. A group of CSU freshmen deterred them and saved the day.

Peanuts spent a portion of his life in New Jersey. When World War I broke out, Peanuts traveled from Colorado to New Jersey with the Battery “A” artillery unit to support the soldiers. He returned to Colorado when the unit was deployed to Europe.

CAM lives with other livestock. CAM’s farm animal friends include horses, chickens, a cow, a pig and another sheep.

Teddy the Bear is a movie star. Teddy was featured in a film from 1919. This film is believed to be the first footage of CSU’s campus.

The current CAM is number 26. Since 1954, 26 CAM the Rams have filtered through CSU, bringing school spirit to fans.
