SLiCE is encouraging the CSU community to take part in the Rams 150 Service Challenge.
As Colorado State University celebrates its sesquicentennial, SLiCE — Student Leadership, Involvement, & Community Engagement — has partnered with the University to launch a large-scale, yearlong service initiative to commemorate the historic milestone.
The Rams 150 Challenge encourages the CSU community to compile 150,000 volunteer hours as well as 150 distinct service programs/volunteering opportunities within the sesquicentennial year, from August 2019 to June 2020.
“We have a strong culture of involvement here at CSU,” SLiCE Director Pamela Norris said. “Celebrating CSU’s 150th birthday by launching the Rams 150 Service Challenge is a fantastic way to bring our community together and showcase the positive impact Rams are making.”
