Volunteer Opportunities
Looking for ways to volunteer
and make a difference? There are
several volunteer activities taking
place during the month of April
right here at CSU! Each event is
unique and guaranteed to be an
experience you won’t forget!
There are several activities every
year put on by the SLiCE office
so feel free to check out their
website www.slice.colostate.edu
for updated event information.
Here are a few of the great
events taking place this month!
CSUnity– CSUnity is an event
where students can reach out to
members and groups of the Fort
Collins community and spend a
day giving back to the place we
all call home. Help elderly
neighbors do housework they
have trouble with, help with the
food bank, or work with several
non-profit groups around the
area. View the events calendar
on the next page for more information!
Ram Welcome Leader– Do
you remember the big carnival
and orientation at the beginning
of the school year welcoming
you as a college student and a
CSU ram? Most people remember Ram Welcome as one of the
highlights of their college career.
Now it’s your turn to be a part
of that experience for freshman
coming to CSU in Fall 2010. Orientation & Transition Programs

fall. Ram Welcome will take place

Bring Spring Inside
It’s spring time! The flowers are starting to
bloom and the trees are getting their leaves
back. You can see signs of new life all
around you, but does your
house or apartment seem
less than spring like? Well
there are things that you
can do even living in a
house or apartment to get
you ready for spring. There
are many plants out there
that do great inside. The
key is finding the right one
and then know the care
instructions for it. Here are a few plants
that do well in apartments: African Violet,
Bonsai Plants, or Paper Whites. Also, you
can visit http://www.gardenersnet.com/
