Colorado State University
Reach Out: Colorado State University is a synergistic effort to advance learning opportunities of CSU students and Colorado's historically underserved secondary students by providing a platform for educational outreach while directly supporting and simultaneously advancing university strategic goals in the areas of outreach, diversity, and curricular innovation.
Information and academic advising—to allow students and their families to make sound decisions about educational opportunities Educational and academic programming—through educational experiences students raise their motivation and commitment to educational goals Long-term partnerships—outreach efforts are more effective and better received when there is a genuine commitment to a long-term partnership
Reach Out partners with the Key Communities, a residential learning community for first and second-year students who share a desire for civic engagement, service, academic excellence, appreciation for diversity, and leadership in the Fort Collins, and Denver Communities. Students in Key engage in service- learning opportunities with Reach Out to provide activities and workshops on postsecondary preparation for historically underserved secondary students.
