Career outcome data for CSU (2018) suggests that at least 66% of students complete an internship and those students are more likely to have a job offer or acceptance to graduate school when compared to students without internship experience. We also know that many students are unable to complete an internship because of a financial barrier.

The CSU Unpaid/Underpaid Internship Support Program has two goals: Increase the number of CSU students completing internships and reduce financial barriers to completing an internship.

Find out below how you can receive support of up to $4,000 in financial awards through CSU. 

Applications Due May 3, 2021

U-Turn is an academic success event that supports students in reaching their goals and identifying strategies to thrive. This campus-wide collaborative is sponsored by The Institute for Learning & Teaching (TILT), University Housing & The Collaborative for Student Achievement. 

Students attend U-Turn to seek guidance and support for challenges they are experiencing that negatively affect their academics. Volunteer navigators will meet with students for 30 minutes to brainstorm resources the students can utilize to improve their academic performance. Navigators will also assist the student in creating an Action Plan for success. Additionally, virtual campus resources such as CSU Health Network and Office of Financial Aid will be available at the event. 

Many of us struggle with uncertainty, stress, loneliness, anxiety, and depression. We sometimes feel overwhelmed by academic and work demands, relationship challenges, racial injustice, economic instability, and political unrest. During the pandemic, all of our struggles can feel even more difficult.

You are not alone. We care about you and want to help. CSU Health Network offers numerous support resources that are covered by your student fees, which means you can access them for no additional charge

We invite you all to save the date for the 15th Annual Feminist Thought & Activism Conference

This year’s conference will be entirely virtual.

Follow us on Instagram or Facebook for the most up-to-date information about the conference and announcement of our very special keynote.

As the book chosen to launch Colorado State University’s Rams Read program, Claudia Rankine’s Citizen: an American Lyric is a powerful exploration of the experience of race and racism in the U.S. As Rankine shows readers in her use of lyric essays, poems, and images throughout the book, dialogue and discourse are two incredibly important tools for meaning-making, but they are not the only tools.  The Rams Read Virtual Gallery is a platform for students to question, explore, and manifest what lives at the intersection of art and activism as well as the artist’s role within the racial justice movement.
