Activities and Programs
Apartment
Life provides a unique international environment and encourages residents
to become involved. Each apartment community has live-in student staff
who work with residents to provide a wide range of programs. Exciting
opportunities are available for social, recreational, and cultural interaction.
Potlucks, barbecues, slide shows, and volleyball are just a few examples.
Apartment Life strives to create an inclusive and culturally rich community.
To accomplish this goal, each living area develops an event calendar
unique to the particular area. Central
Programs works with the Apartment Life
staff in providing unique and enriching programs for the residents,
CSU campus, and the Fort Collins Community. Additionally, Central Programs
collaborates with the CSU and Fort Collins communities to assist in
creating enriching programs for the community. To learn more about Central
Programs, visit their Web site.
