LTTE: Stand firm against attacks on DEI, research funding at CSU

Guest Author February 24, 2025
When I graduated from Colorado State University with my undergraduate degree I was honored to be named an Outstanding Graduate, and I was also nominated and then selected to deliver the Senior Address at my commencement ceremony. These recognitions, I believe, were largely due to my perseverance through immense hardship, having demonstrated that I was able to withstand a lot of suffering and hardship without giving up while staying committed to earning my degree, and still managing to stay involved with student government, and multiple extracurriculars.

Bisant: Self-dates are more valuable than you may think
