What is Ram Connect?
Ram Connect is a series of optional, add-on outdoor extended orientation experiences designed to help you build stronger connections with other incoming students as well as experience some of what the beautiful Colorado outdoors have to offer. These experiences will offer the opportunity to meet new people and explore what it means to be a student at CSU.
Reservations for all Ram Connect experiences are available through your Ram Orientation reservation as an additional opportunity.
