PARENT GUIDE AND CALENDAR What to expect at the on-campus stadium By Stuart Smith @notstuartsmith

The re-park program will require residents to move their cars between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. on the Friday evening before game day. Students living on campus will be able to move their cars back four hours after the game ends on Saturday, or midnight, whichever comes first. Residents of Westfall, Parmelee and Allison will not be required to move their cars, and any student living on campus will be able to park in those lots on game days. Students re-parking can move their vehicles to the South College Avenue parking garage, the University Square parking lot and Research Boulevard parking lot. There will be a shuttle to give students who park in the Research Boulevard lot transportation to and from campus. However, they must

When the new on-campus football stadium opens this fall, game days will be drastically different than they have been in the past. The Associated Students of Colorado State University, the University, and the City of Fort Collins are still working out some of the finer details, and will continue to throughout the season, but many decisions have already been made. Here is the information you need to know about parking and tailgating: PARKING: Re-park program Only three of the residence hall parking lots will be open for students to park in on game days, and every other residence hall lot will require residents to move their vehicles.

move their cars from these lots by 7 a.m. Monday morning. Getting to and from the game Visitors will have various ways to get to campus for games in anticipation for the 40,000 attendees. Based on game attendance at Hughes Stadium during the 2016 season, 55 percent of the attendees will arrive by vehicle, 25 percent by bicycle or walking and 13 percent by transit. The remaining attendees are expected to be on-campus residents. For every parking lot, there will be a designated way for attendees to leave campus. Those parking in lots northwest of the stadium will exit onto Shields Street. The parking lots on the far west side of campus will feed into College Avenue. The Lory Student Center, Morgan Library, Braiden Hall and Harts-

horn Health Center parking lots will lead to Laurel Street, and those parking in the Lake Street garage will leave campus via Prospect Road. Visitor Parking Every parking lot other than the exempted north side residence hall lots will only be available to vehicles with game day parking permits, which will cost $100 for the whole season. However, that $100 will only cover the parking lots farthest from the stadium, with the closer lots restricted to higher levels of donors. The closest parking spots to the campus were available for those who donated $10,000 or more to the stadium this season and those parking lots are sold out. As of now, the next highest level of parking lots available are for people or businesses who donated $2,500 to

the stadium this season. These parking passes will be reset every season. RV’s will be allowed to park in the Moby Arena parking lot. This lot requires a minimum $500 donation. The neighborhoods surrounding campus will require parking permits, and the fine for parking in them without a permit will be $100. Bicyclist Accommodations The University is also planning on accommodations for people who attend the game by bike. The improvements to the infrastructure for bicyclists in Fort Collins that the University has been making to keep its Platinum rating for the League of American Bicyclists will also serve to facilitate bicyclists ways see STADIUM on page 6 >>

Joyce McConnell hired as next CSU president The Board of Governors of the Colorado State University System voted unanimously on March 29 to hire Joyce E. McConnell to lead the System’s flagship institution into its 150th year, building on a decade that has seen record levels of enrollment, donor and alumni support and research funding, along with the dramatic transformation of campus, physically and in terms of state and national reputation. McConnell will become the 15th President of Colorado State University, the state’s land grant university. Currently serving as provost and vice president for academic affairs at West Virginia University, McConnell, who will assume the top position at CSU on July 1, 2019, said she is honored to be selected to help lead what is an exceptional institution of higher education. “CSU is a national leader in higher education, and the achievements of its students, faculty and staff collectively have built a powerful momentum and an upward trajectory of success for generations of Rams to come. I look forward to being a part of that journey with you,” McConnell said. “My decision to leave West Virginia and West Virginia University after more than 20 years of service to both the university and the state was not an easy one, but Colorado State University’s mission, values and character presented an irresistible opportunity to lead one of the nation’s great land-grant universities into the future.” Rico Munn, chair of the CSU System Board of Governors, described McConnell as an experienced leader who has a deep passion for the work of higher education and the ability to bring together diverse groups in a common drive for excellence. “In getting to know Provost McConnell through the search process, the Board was immensely impressed with both her outstanding credentials and with the way her personality and determination fit so well with CSU’s mission and character,” Munn said. “CSU has a uniquely qualified and truly exceptional next president, and the Board couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome of this search.” PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE McConnell has served in her current roles as WVU’s provost and chief academic officer since July 2014. In those positions, her charge has had broad scope: overseeing university budgets; building partnerships with political, governmental, business and nonprofit leaders at the state, national, and international levels; and playing a lead role in fundraising. McConnell’s track record also includes tenure as dean of the College of Law at WVU, during which she spearheaded major fundraising and academic initiatives. “Through higher education we can transform lives and tackle the toughest world challenges through a can-do, innovative spirit,” said McConnell. “The CSU community in particular is independent but always ready to lend a hand, surviving and thriving on innovative problemsolving but proud of tradition and accustomed to quietly accomplishing great things without being arrogant.” McConnell led efforts at WVU to improve gender equity and Title IX education and compliance, engaged

in higher-education policy work with the university’s board and state leaders, focused on raising faculty salaries, promoted excellence in research and graduate education, and played a key role in promoting diversity and inclusion at all levels. She will succeed CSU’s current president, Tony Frank, who begins serving exclusively as chancellor of the CSU System July 1. Frank is in his 11th year as CSU president and will have served five years in the dual role of both president and chancellor. “Joyce McConnell is absolutely the right person to join and lead the CSU community as president and provide the inventive and inclusive leadership that will continue to bring out the best in this university. As chancellor, I welcome the opportunity to work with Joyce as she takes the reins in Fort Collins,” Frank said. McConnell said President Frank leaves a strong legacy as a leader bolstered by a reputation for always striving to find where the university can do better. “I know that everyone connected with this great institution is deeply grateful to President Frank not only for his extraordinary accomplishments on behalf of Colorado State but also for his graciousness and humor throughout the process of identifying his successor. He clearly loves this institution and this state, and I cannot thank him enough for entrusting me with the university’s future. I look forward to working with him in his Chancellor role.” The Board and McConnell have agreed to a five-year employment agreement, effective July 1, under which McConnell will earn a base annual salary of $550,000.

ABOUT THE PRESIDENTIAL SEARCH The Board announced Provost McConnell as the finalist for the presidency March 15, and the March 29 vote followed a statutorily required notice and waiting period before deciding to appoint McConnell as president. The Board’s selection followed a highly competitive five-month nationwide search guided by a 16-member Presidential Search Advisory Committee chaired by Nancy Tuor, vice chair of the Board of Governors. The advisory committee represented key stakeholder groups, including tenured and non-tenure-track faculty, students, alumni, administrative professional and state classified staff, the Board of Governors, community leaders, and more. “Joyce McConnell represents everything CSU is, and aspires to be, as the land grant university for the future,” said Diana Wall, a University Distinguished Professor, director of CSU’s School of Global Environmental Sustainability, and a faculty representative on the Presidential Search Advisory Committee (PSAC). “She has proven herself as an energetic, savvy champion of inclusion and academic research excellence, and of bringing disciplinary partners together to meet sustainability challenges on campus and globally.”
