Feature: Rams in the Rockies Tour

The Rams in the Rockies Tour is a two-day traveling seminar designed for recently hired and newly tenured CSU faculty, new administrators, and/or new student leaders. The tour is designed to deepen participants’ understanding of CSU’s mission as a land-grant institution by interacting with CSU’s activities and networks in a specific Colorado region; and to enhance networks within and across faculty cohorts at CSU to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration for teaching, research, and engagement. Watch the 2015 tour video at http://www.csuramtour.org/ or read more about the 2017 tour that visited the Front Range and the Vail valley.
