Today, we’re announcing a $5 million gift from Bohemian Foundation that will advance CSU’s leadership in energy research and permanently fund student programs focused on democracy and the arts.

“This gift advances our capacity for groundbreaking energy innovation, and it also ensures that two of our most distinctive student initiatives will continue to provide generations of young people with opportunities to lead, create and contribute.” — President Amy Parsons

$3.8 million will increase capacity at CSU’s Powerhouse Energy Campus, a global hub for advanced and low-carbon energy solutions, industry collaboration and entrepreneurial scaleup. The investment will help expand the Powerhouse footprint and meet growing demand for research in grid resilience, wildfire, advanced fusion, nuclear technologies and energy access. It will also support more engineering capstone projects, student entrepreneurship and a fabrication academy open to students in every major.

$1.2 million will endow the Colorado Democracy Prize and the President's Art Prize, both launched last year. The Colorado Democracy Prize funds workshops, seed grants, mentorship and an annual award for student-led civic projects. The Art Prize is a juried award for artwork by CSU students and recent alumni from all disciplines, with students leading the selection and curation. The prizes build on years of CSU leadership focused on student success, strengthening democracy, civic engagement, public dialogue and creative expression.

Thank you to Bohemian Foundation for decades of investment in innovative ideas, student opportunities and programs that strengthen communities across Colorado and around the world. This extraordinary gift supports our broader institutional expertise and advances priorities that have shaped CSU’s work for years.

Grown by Rams, for Rams 🐏

Each year, the Growing Food Security project and more than 200 student volunteers help to fight food insecurity by harvesting 20,000+ pounds of fresh produce at the CSU Agricultural Research Development and Education Center (ARDEC). The produce is then donated to Rams Against Hunger, providing locally grown vegetables to the CSU community.

Food insecurity affects college communities across the country, and we're proud that our Rams are working together to address it here at home 💚

As the leaves on the Oval begin to turn, there's something special about gathering for our annual Fall Address and University Picnic 🍂 🐏

“The great democratic promise of a public higher education is that knowledge should not be the province of the privileged few. It should be pursued at the highest levels and shared broadly across geography, circumstances and across generations. That’s why access and excellence will never be competing ideas at CSU. Our responsibility is to hold both aspirations at once." - CSU President Amy Parsons

During her address, she described the work our faculty do as both difficult and indispensable. She also spoke about CSU entering the fall season with great momentum by bringing in more than $613 million in research funding, continuing top rankings for sustainability, welcoming one of the largest, most academically qualified classes of first-year students in CSU history, setting a new record for student retention last year, seeing graduation rates that continue to climb, celebrating 50 years of El Centro and the Black/African American Cultural Center, and CSU's first year in the Pac-12.
