Registration is now open for the 2026 Symposium. This is the 26th Symposium October 19-22, 2026. The Symposium centers the Colorado State University Land-Grant Mission with themes surrounding access, success, and community in action for our students, employees, and community members.
Exciting Features
This year’s line-up includes a variety of workshops, keynote addresses, featured sessions, community events, and CSU Inspire, with short TED-style talks delivered by students, staff, and faculty on topics such as well-being, access, and building connections. A dedicated student track includes concurrent workshops, A Glimpse of MURALS, an undergraduate research exposition, and a Student Mixer Luncheon.
The Symposium is free to attend, and all members of the campus, CSU System, and community are welcome and encouraged to participate. We hope you will join us in what promises to be a week of critical conversations, meaningful connections, and impactful learning.
