State: a special issue from Colorado State University and the CSU System, May 2020

Abstract

The next three special issues published this spring and summer will combine STATE, the magazine of the CSU System, and Colorado State Magazine, the publication for alumni and supporters of our flagship university. These issues are smaller, more frequent, and are mailed to a combined readership. With these issues, the hope is to share a sense of how our System and campuses are responding to the COVID-19 pandemic to uphold our higher-education tenets and goals. In this edition, you'll find stories about Colorado State University's internationally regarded expertise in infectious disease, which dates to the school's earliest years. Our System and campus leaders share their thoughts about recovery and the value of our academic programs, brought into sharp relief by the pandemic. You'll learn about one of the System's most prominent initiatives, the new Spur campus, which is forging ahead. You will also meet an alumna, Angie Paccione, head of the Colorado Department of Higher Education, who is working around the clock on behalf of colleges, universities - and students.
