Additional Information

My CSU Experience

I chose CSU because I was recruited here to play on the varsity softball team. CSU has some of the best Division II athletic programs in the country, and I wanted to be a part of a winning team with a winning reputation. Also, when I found out that CSU had an Honors Program which awarded annual Honors Scholarships, I had no second thoughts in making CSU my home.
