Assistive Technology Resource Center

The Assistive Technology Resource Center provides assistive technology assessments, training, and short-term equipment loans for employees. Assistive technology may help support employees in their work roles, including difficulties with reading materials, difficulty seeing a computer screen, discomfort with work tasks such as typing or writing, challenges staying organized, keeping up with meeting notes and many more.

As occupational therapists, staff provides comprehensive assessments to help find the best assistive technology to support you in your work role.  The ATRC can help you explore appropriate apps and mainstream technologies. Assessments, training, and short-term equipment trials are available as a free service.

Are you a CSU employee not physically working on the main campus? ATRC is also able to provide these same services through telephone appointments and screen-sharing software.

Employee Appreciation Board

The Colorado State University Employee Appreciation Board (CSUEAB) was formed in 1968, making it one of the longest-standing traditions on campus. The board meets monthly during the academic year to discuss and plan employee recognition events, as well as to help promote University events. One of the main objectives of the board is the monthly recognition of a work unit. The board collects nominations from across campus and then votes on who to celebrate and recognize each month with events such as a luncheon, breakfast, or ice cream social.
