A System of Transformation

The Colorado State University System serves the state in valuable and significant ways through the combined force of its education, research and outreach capabilities.

The university system is overseen by the Board of Governors and led by Chancellor Larry Edward Penley. This collective leadership is transforming the roles of its member universities to be integral contributors to the economic development of the state. Work force education, research funding and new business and product development are some of the areas where the institutions are excelling.

The university system's choice of learning environments, range of educational opportunities and hands-on experiences attract about 27,000 new and returning scholars annually. Highly skilled graduates number more than 6,500 a year. And, more than 150,000 alumni live throughout the state, nation and world.
