Giving to the Universities
The Colorado State University System is positioned to be the premier system of public higher education in the nation. In August 2006, the Board of Governors adopted an aggressive set of stretch goals for each of the system universities.
The campuses are challenged to
- Dramatically increase enrollment
- Enhance student success relative to retention and graduation rates
- Increase access to public higher education for Colorado residents among lower income and non-traditional groups
- Grow research funding and accelerate time-to-market for solutions to global issues
- improve competitiveness and economic prosperity of Colorado through workforce development
Achieving the goals set out by the Board of Governors will require new and greater investments in students, faculty, staff and facilities. The budget of the state of Colorado can only fund a portion of the initiatives the universities need to implement to stay competitive. Gifts from alumni, friends and private supporters are essential to the success of the universities and how they are able to give back to the communities of Colorado.
