The Homecoming Housing Tour is a community van tour to help students, parents, and families explore off-campus living options and get to know the Fort Collins community.

Parent and Family Programs HCFW Interest Sessions – Get (Re)Engaged! Opportunities for Campus Involvement
Many students find that campus involvement contributes positively to their experience at CSU by promoting a sense of community/belonging, supporting academic/career interests, proving opportunities for leadership, and supporting personal growth/development. Despite this, some students can feel overwhelmed by the amount of opportunities available to them at CSU, or have difficulty identifying an entry point for their specific involvement interests. Many of these concerns have been exasperated for students throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Join us for an informational session by students and staff from the Student Leadership, Involvement, and Community Engagement (SLiCE) Office about how your student can get involved, connected to others, and engaged in expanding their experience at CSU.
Parent and Family Programs HCFW Interest Sessions – Experience an Education Abroad – 2022!

With a shifting world also comes different expectations around how students engage with international travel. Join both students and staff from the Education Abroad office to talk about opportunities as well as financial aid and other resources available to students who want to travel and study in another country.
Parent and Family Programs HCFW Interest Sessions – Getting Your Student “Ram Ready” For their Career
Engaging with the host of career resources available through CSU’s Career Center can be a huge opportunity for students to get ready for life after they graduate, while also being overwhelming. Come join this interest session where staff and students who work at the Career Center will help give you helpful tips, explain resources that are available to your students, as well as best practices for engaging with the Career Center and employers.
