Tony Frank delivers his final Fall Address By Matt Bailey @mattbailey760
After announcing he would step down as president of Colorado State University by July 2019, Tony Frank delivered his tenth and final Fall Address Wednesday, speaking about the ten years of his presidency and the future of the University.
In his address, Frank looked back on the successes CSU had in the past decade as well as issues that may have been overlooked during his presidency. “Ten short years — a decade that has passed far too quickly, a decade where it has been my privilege to be here and work with all of you,” Frank said. “And now after ten years, we’ve
earned the opportunity to look back. And it’s quite a view.” CSU Provost and Executive Vice President Rick Miranda explained the significance of the annual Fall Address as a University tradition. “It brings the University community together to hear from the president about the current state of the University
and the outlook for the coming academic year,” Miranda said. Frank said when he became president, the University stood at the edge of the Great Recession without knowing how big the economic abyss was. “I mention that because ten years later, we stand at a very different situation,” Frank said. “And it’s sometimes difficult to
think back and remember what those early days and years were like, and yet they forged this institution’s philosophy for the last decade.” Frank said since he became president, institutional financial aid investment has increased by 337 percent.
