Graduate school can be challenging. The right mentor can make a difference.

That's why we're investing in mentorship at CSU. From faculty mentor training to graduate peer mentoring programs, our goal is to build a supportive network that helps graduate students build connections, navigate challenges, and thrive.

Because great mentorship shouldn't be left to chance.

Alzheimer’s is a progressive brain disease that causes people to lose their ability to think, remember, and reason. It affects 1 in 9 Americans over 65 and their caregivers.

Colorado State University College of Health and Human Sciences graduate student David Crosby is working on a potential way to treat it. His three‑minute explanation of this research earned first place at the university, state, AND regional levels of the Three Minute Thesis competition.
