Colorado State University is expanding its existing Rams Read program into a university-wide Thematic Year. The theme for 2022-23 is HEALTH, and the university will be hosting Flint, Michigan pediatrician Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha to Fort Collins as the Rams Read author and as a visiting scholar with an expertise in health.

The Thematic Year is a central university initiative that serves to highlight the incredible research, programs, academic initiatives, students, faculty and staff that are accomplishing extraordinary things at CSU.  Having a rotating annual theme provides the opportunity for the university to focus on major world initiatives that cross through and between all departments and colleges which in turn, assists in stimulating additional interdisciplinary work at Colorado State.

Faculty, staff, students and community members will be invited to participate in the year of health by hosting programs and events, attending the spotlight events, participating in lectures and many other activities. Colleges and departments are encouraged to add relevant events and programs to the CSU Events Calendar highlighting the remarkable work and expertise housed within their team.
