We will be celebrating the unveiling of the Peace Corps Tribute Garden, a project that commemorates the enduring bond between CSU and the Peace Corps. The Peace Corps Tribute Garden represents not only a physical space of tranquility but also a testament to the values of service, community, and cultural exchange that both CSU and the Peace Corps hold dear. It symbolizes our historic roots with the Peace Corps founding and the visionaries who helped frame its foundations and also serves to reaffirm Colorado State’s commitment to fostering global connections and understanding.
