Colorado State University Traditions

The Colorado State University system is comprised of three campuses: Fort Collins, which also includes the CSU Online presence; Pueblo; and CSU Global. Choose CSU as your home university and take courses through CSU Online as well as other accredited universities from across the United States.

Every year, April 18 is “I love CSU day,” a time to show Ram pride and wear green and gold.

Folks of CSU and Fort Collins find themselves explaining the treasured “A” painted on the Rocky Mountain foothills next to Hughes Stadium is for “Aggies,” the CSU nickname until 1957.
