The CSU System team focused its conversations on how the System can facilitate progress on rural initiatives for the state. They met monthly with seven other NASH teams from around the nation. • The CSU System represented Colorado higher education as an evaluator for the Salazar Center’s Thriving Cities Challenge. The Challenge sought proposals that envision transformative change to improve the equity, health, and resilience of communities around the world through nature-based solutions. The pitch event for the selected finalists will be Sept. 28. • The CSU System was represented at the United Veterans Coalition of Colorado annual banquet honoring Colorado’s community of military veterans. The keynote speaker was CSU alumnus (MBA, 2010) Brigadier General Scott M. Sherman, director of joint staff for the Colorado National Guard. In this capacity, Brigadier General Sherman was named by Governor Polis to lead the state’s COVID-19 vaccine task force in planning and executing the state’s vaccination plan. • The Systemwide rural initiative approved by the Board of Governors in June was the subject of a July 18 story in The Denver Post. Chancellor Frank subsequently shared the article directly with all Colorado legislators to make them aware of the initiative, and CSU Fort Collins Vice President Blake Naughton shared it with statewide county commissioners. • Dr. Bronwyn Fees, associate dean of academic affairs at Kansas State University, will join the CSU System as an ACE Fellow this fall. Fees is one of 52 emerging college and university leaders for the 2021-22 class of the ACE Fellows Program, the longest-running higher education leadership development program in the United States. • The CSU System continues to work closely with the campuses to share best practices in areas of communication, finance, IT, partnerships, and other key arenas. Campus Updates • CSU Pueblo and CSU Fort Collins were two of the four campuses to earn Hunger Free and Healthy Minds designations from the Colorado Department of Higher Education in June. Along with Fort Lewis College and Metropolitan State University, they were recognized for their work to end hunger and address the metal health needs of their students. • CSU Pueblo received more than $17 million in the state’s Long Bill to renovate its Technology Building to enhance academic programming in STEM, education, and automotive industry management. • “The Great Experiment: CSU 150 Years” documentary produced by Frank Boring, Blake Miller, and Bryan Rayburn won a 2021 Silver Telly Award in May. The documentary highlighted the history and mission of Colorado’s land-grant university. The Telly Awards, founded in 1979, is a major international competition honoring excellence in video and television across all screens. This year, the competition included more than 12,000 entries from all 50 states and five continents. • Chancellor Frank continued conversations with the City of Fort Collins around the Hughes property. At its regular meeting July 20, the Fort Collins City Council approved changes to its City Plan to reflect the re-zoning of the Hughes property, as approved by city voters earlier this year. • Chancellor Frank joined President McConnell and CSU Warner College Dean John Hayes in hosting a visiting delegation from Kansas Wesleyan University. The delegation of trustees, along with KWU President Matt Thompson, were on a “learning journey” to gain a fresh perspective on innovative organizations and how they’re structured and operate. CSU System Government Affairs – Federal • Chancellor Frank has been actively engaged in a variety of federal outreach efforts within and outside of the Colorado delegation. CSU System Government Affairs – State • Chancellor Frank attended a bill-signing event hosted by Governor Polis on June 29, at which the Governor signed a law providing bond funding for the National Western Center project.
