The Division of University Advancement is integral to achieving and sustaining the University’s institutional excellence through fundraising and engagement efforts. Their purpose is to connect alumni, friends, corporations, and foundations to raise the financial support necessary to advance Colorado State University’s mission and vision. Funds generated go towards creating access and opportunity for our students, faculty, and staff to implement change at a local and global level.
