More than 5,000 new CSU students started to move into the residence halls on Monday, Aug. 14, and the box-toting and tearful goodbyes continued through Wednesday.
Ram Welcome kicked into full swing on Thursday with events like Ram Bash on the Lory Student Center Plaza, Explore Old Town Fort Collins and the Carnival.
The welcome festivities are continuing today and through the weekend with Convocation, Ramapalooza, the Rambunctious Pep Rally and the class of 2027 CSU photo in Canvas Stadium. Read more in SOURCE.
