CSU faculty, staff and students can now use the library as a ticket to the outdoors — with the new Check Out Colorado State Parks passes available at Morgan Library.
Anyone with a library card – your CSU RamCard — can check out a parks pass that allows one vehicle entry into any of Colorado’s 42 state parks. The passes can be checked out for up to one week at a time — enough time for a weekend camping trip or to visit several parks to explore bike friendly trails, hike, or as an incentive to get a fishing license. Each pass also comes with a pack filled with items useful for an outdoor adventure.
The idea of the initiative is to provide a learning opportunity to those who may not be able to afford a parks pass, or just want to “try before you buy.” Daily pass prices range from $3 to $9 and are valid until noon following the day of purchase. That means users can save up to $63 on entrance fees by checking out the seven-day pass from the library.
The Office of International Programs can help you with that! Simply complete the paperwork, submit your picture (they can help you with that, too!), and schedule an appointment.
Use your CSU RamCard to access Poudre River Library District materials, including:

In 1989, the Joan Gaynor Kuder Scholarship was established in memory of Joan who served in several capacities during her 17 years of association with the university. She believed strongly in and encouraged life-long learning, and the important role it plays in employees’ job satisfaction. The first scholarship was awarded in 1992.
There are two scholarships available for the 2024-2025 academic year, each for $2,400.
The Scholarship Committee is seeking applications from full-time, 9 or 12 month CSU employees (administrative professional, state classified, faculty) who have an active record of academic achievement and advancement, are working toward an identified educational goal, and have contributed to their particular units and/or to the University community by serving in additional capacities.
Employees do not have to be formally admitted to a degree program to be considered for this scholarship; past recipients are not eligible for the scholarship.
The recipient(s) must be enrolled at that time to receive the funds.
