President’s Letter Dear Alumni and Friends, While I spoke these words to the Spring 2007 graduates at their celebration in May, urging them to celebrate their accomplishments before taking on their next goal, I should probably take this quote from one of my heroes, Nelson Mandela, to heart. It aptly describes how I’m feeling as I close my freshman year as president of Colorado State University-Pueblo. What a journey it has been — full of ups and downs, triumphs and challenges. I truly felt like a freshman on a college campus, learning “I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only fi nds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can rest only for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended.” —Nelson Mandela the names of buildings, professors, and students, committing to memory pertinent deadlines and policies, while discovering the best attractions, restaurants, and hiking and biking trails in and around Pueblo. I could not have imagined the generosity I would witness in my first year, from the largest gift in school history from the Friends of Football organization to million dollar scholarship gifts from both the Pioneer Fund and the Kane Family Foundation. The enthusiasm surrounding the athletic expansion and the renovation and construction of campus structures is infectious and is what keeps me going day to day and week to week. We have established some aggressive stretch goals for enrollment, retention, and graduation rates over the next five to 10 years. As I said in my address on the first day of classes last fall, I cannot accomplish everything that has been set before me — that is, not without the help of each and every graduate, employee, student, and University supporter. Together, WE will witness a transformation of an entire institution that is destined to change the face of our community, our region, and each and every student who enters our doors. Joseph Garcia, President 2 C O L O R A D O S T A T E U N I V E R S I T Y - P U E B L O
