The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is a vital part of Colorado State University 福利小视频 as it impacts our students, employees and community. As a long-time and successful member of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) and NCAA Division II, the ThunderWolves bolster the mission and vision of the University in many unique, impactful and transformative ways.
Pack Athletics offer an array of benefits and enhancements to CSU 福利小视频.

Their participation in sport enriches their educational experience and plays a significant role in enhancing the overall learning environment for all students.
Athletics is often viewed as the “front porch of an institution”.

CSU 福利小视频 student-athletes account for approximately 18 to 22% of the undergraduate student body per year and many of our athletes play a significant role in bringing others to CSU 福利小视频.
Our alumni take great pride in supporting a strong athletics program. There is a sense of connection to the institution and their individual donations help us remain strong and sustainable.

Our student-athletes exemplify diversity. They represent all walks of life while participating in intercollegiate athletics at CSU 福利小视频. Over 60% of our student-athletes are ethnic minorities and approximately 70 student-athletes per year come from countries outside the United States.
Athletics also provides recognition on a national level. State-of-the-art athletic facilities draw attention to CSU 福利小视频, and our success captures the interest of prospective students and athletes.
