Cultural Resource Centers
Who you are and how you identify matters, and it’s important you have a strong community to connect with as a CSU student.
Cultural Resource Centers at Colorado State University are designed to support students in a number of ways. These centers, sometimes known as diversity programs, are here to help you build a network of trusted friends. We want you to be able to connect with others who share your experiences, understand your journey, and can become a part of your story.
