“Tour Tuesdays” kick off June 11 with a stellar lineup. Originally launched in June 2022, the six-week series is back with 24 behind-the-scenes and backstage looks at various parts of campus.
Step into the world of innovation and creation at the Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate Teaching Labs, or head down to CSU Spur to get a close-up of the three-building campus after a catered lunch.
Bug out at the C.P. Gillette Museum of Arthropod Diversity to view its 4.7 million-specimen collection, explore CSU’s sustainability, experience the Geospatial Centroid’s compelling story maps, or learn about how CSU fights food insecurity at the Rams Against Hunger Food Pantry.
Register for Tour Tuesdays
All tours are free, and registration is required on a first come, first serve basis, because tour group sizes are limited. Visit visit.colostate.edu/TourTuesdays to register or for more information about the featured tours, including tour descriptions, dates and times, or to learn more about Summertime at CSU.
Explore the biggest walk-in closet in the Rockies; learn about myths, legends and ghost stories; experience the high-end technology used by our faculty, staff, interns, residents and students to help provide accurate diagnoses and treatments at the VTH Small Animal Hospital; or see what’s brewing in CSU’s Brew Kitchen and Innovation Lab.
Plus, tour guests will have the opportunity to learn about more than 100 years of the CSU weather station, head into the vault where the University’s art collection is stored or learn how the future is being designed and built within several prototype labs. There are tours to get an up-close look at the campus’s newest building, get a first glimpse of what’s happening within student media, and much more.
