The annual CSU Ram Faculty Engagement 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.
