The college adventure that beginsevery August with those first fearfilleddays and ends with graduationcan be one of life’s most memorablejourneys.That certainly will be the case for manymembers of Colorado State University’s Classof 2013. Few of those graduates, however, willhave seen or experienced more than the fivemembersenior class that comprised thestarting lineup for the men’s basketball team.Has one senior class ever come so far in fouryears? Has a group of seniors accomplishedmore? Has there ever been a senior class thatdid more for the program or created moreexcitement?Answers: No. No. And no.The seniors – Dorian Green, Pierce Hornung,Greg Smith, Wes Eikmeier, and ColtonIverson – arrived at CSU from various places,but they have two things in common. First,they all were underappreciated, either as highschool recruits or college players, before comingto CSU. Second, all of them came to FortCollins with the dream of taking a downtroddenprogram and transforming it into aconsistent winner.“We all came here with a mindset to changethings around here,” Hornung said. “That’swhat makes this so gratifying, knowing weturned the program around.”SeniorClassRulesBy Tony Phifer@TonyPhiferHighlights from this season include:• A school-record 26 victories• A school-record 27 consecutive homevictories• CSU’s highest finish (2nd place) in theMountain West in the league’s 15-yearhistory• A school-record four home sellouts• The highest average attendance (5,440) in 15years• The first appearance in the Associated PressTop 25 since 19542012-2013 AttendanceGames Total Avg/GameHOME 17 92,488 5,440AWAY 13 127,847 9,834NEUTRAL 5 9,122 1,824TOTAL 35 22,9457 6,5562012-2013 REcordOverall Home Away NeutralALL GAMES (26-9) (16-1) (6-7) (4-1)CONFERENCE (11-5) (7-1) (4-4) (0-0)NONCONFERENCE (15-4) (9-0) (2-3) (4-1)Join the discussion #CSUMagazine

• The highest NCAA Tournament seed (No.8) since the field expanded to 64 teams in1985• The first NCAA Tournament victory since1989Those accomplishments are even moreimpressive when you consider the state of theprogram when the core seniors arrived. In2008-09, while then-coach Tim Miles wasbusy convincing them that coming to CSUwas a really good idea, the program was on lifesupport.That season, CSU was 9-22 overall – 4-12 inMountain West play. And the year before –Miles’ first season at CSU – the Rams were7-25 and 0-16 in conference action.Worse, nobody cared. In 2008-09, CSU’saverage home attendance was 3,257 – lowest inthe history of Moby Arena, which opened in1966.Miles, though, had an enticing selling point:opportunity. Green, Smith, and Hornungknew they would get a chance to play earlyand often – and they jumped at it.“I liked the energy the coaches brought tothe program,” Green said. “It was easy for meto see myself here, and it turned out to be theperfect fit for me.”Interestingly, some good fortune andbehind-the-scenes maneuvering helped shapethe future of CSU basketball.Jesse Carr, one of Miles’ first recruits, servedas the recruiting host for Green, Hornung, andSmith when they made their visits. Carr, oneof four Nebraskans on the roster, knew Smith(Omaha) from his days competing in theCornhusker state and was good friends withEikmeier (Fremont, Neb.), who opted to transferto CSU after playing one season at IowaState.Smith then got involved. He tipped off thecoaches about Green (Lawrence, Kan.), whohad been a teammate in summer basketball.And after meeting Hornung at a CSU summerhoops camp prior to his senior season, Smithhelped convince him to become a Ram.“We all talked about coming together andchanging the program,” Smith said.And so, the three new Rams set out on amission to transform CSU basketball. It wasn’talways easy – and it certainly wasn’t prettyearly.

they weren’t ready to compete with the MW’selite teams. Brigham Young, UNLV, San DiegoState, and New Mexico simply had too muchtalent and experience for the young Rams.BYU, in the season’s low point, hammeredCSU by 44 points, while UNLV added a31-point beatdown.“I remember warming up for the (Dec. 20,2009) game against Northern Arizona, andalmost no one was at the game,” Smith said.“And the only big crowds we got were whenpeople came out to see the other teams in ourconference, like BYU, come to Moby.”Still, the progress was steady. The Rams were16-16 that year and earned a berth in the CollegeBasketball Invitational – CSU’s firstpostseason berth in seven years. The followingyear, they finished 19-13, played in the NITand had their first winning record (9-7) inleague play since 1999-2000.The 2011-12 season, though, is when thetransformation really gained momentum. TheRams turned Moby Arena into a house of horrorsfor visiting teams, upsetting Top 25 teamsSan Diego State, UNLV, and New Mexico infront of raucous crowds. The Rams finished20-12 and earned an at-large invitation to theNCAA Tournament – CSU’s first since 2003.Four starters from that team (Green, Smith,Eikmeier, and Hornung) were coming back,and the addition of Iverson – a 7-foot transferfrom Minnesota – and Arizona transfer DanielBejerano had fans giddy about the possibilitiesfor 2012-13. But just when it appeared thingscouldn’t get much better, Miles accepted anoffer to coach at Nebraska, leaving behind aready-made team seemingly poised forgreatness.“We had no idea what was going to happen,”Green said. “It was kind of shocking to all ofus, but we knew we would still be a goodteam.”Athletic director Jack Graham didn’t wastetime looking for Miles’ replacement. He convincedSouthern Mississippi coach LarryEustachy, who had taken four programs toJoin the discussion #CSUMagazine

24-win seasons and guided his Iowa State teamto the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament,Fort Collins should be his next home.Graham’s pick turned out to be ideal.Eustachy’s hard-nosed approach to reboundingand defense melded perfectly with CSU’s veteranteam, and the Rams quickly establishedthemselves as a team to be reckoned with.By February, basketball fever was epidemicin Fort Collins. Sellouts at Mobybecame routine. Prior to theFeb. 23 game against No. 16New Mexico, studentscamped overnight in theColorado chill to securetickets and the best seats.These were scenes that hadbeen absent from Fort Collinsfor more than 20 years.“When we went out towarm up, there were thousandsof students in Mobycheering for us 60 minutesbefore the gamestarted,” Smith said ofthe New Mexico game.“I just had to step backand cherish the moment.I looked around andthought, ‘This is whatcollege basketball is allabout.’ ”The results matched the fans’enthusiasm. The Rams wereranked in the Associated Pressand USA Today Top 25 polls –their first appearance in anational poll in 59 years. Theyfinished second in the MountainWest and broke a school recordwhen they recorded their 24thvictory vs. Fresno State in the firstround of the conferencetournament.Their second consecutive trip to the NCAATournament started with a resounding 84-72win over Missouri – their first NCAA victorysince 1989. It was a virtuoso performance thatfeatured all of the Rams’ strengths – rebounding,defense, senior leadership, and aseason-high 26 points from Green.The Rams ran into a juggernaut in their nextgame, losing to eventual national championLouisville 82-56, to end their seasonat 26-9. Their tear-stainedcheeks and swollen eyes toldof their disappointment atseeing their magnificent,memorable run come to anend.Even Eustachy, whocame to love his seniors inthe short time he knewthem, couldn’t hold back hisemotions.“I told our guys, with alot of tears, that this isone of the few teams –it’s the only team – Ididn’t want the seasonto end,” he said. “Theyare such good guys, andthey showed up everyday with character. I’mgoing to miss our characterand our accountability themost.”And so, a group of seniorsthat arrived with a goal oftransforming the basketballprogram departs knowing this:mission accomplished. Noother group of seniors accomplishedmore, won moregames, or raised CSU’s profileas high.“It was an amazing run,” Greensaid.Join the discussion #CSUMagazine

Colton IversonEnds Half-CenturyDrought forMen’s BasketballAll-AmericansAll-Americans are a rare commodity. So rare, in fact,that the Colorado State University men’s basketballprogram had gone 48 years without one.In one remarkable, memorable season, ColtonIverson ended that streak.Iverson, CSU’s 7-foot senior center, was named anAssociated Press honorable-mention All-Americanafter playing a key role in the Rams’ historic 2012-13season. He is just the third All-American in CSU’shistory and the first since two-sport star LonnieWright was an honorable-mention pick in 1965.CSU’s only other All-American was Bill Green, afirst-team pick in 1963.“Colton is very deserving of this honor,” Ramscoach Larry Eustachy said. “He made great stridesthis year and had a great senior season.”No one knew quite what to expect from Iverson in2012-13. He was highly recruited out of high schoolin Yankton, S.D., but saw only limited playing timethroughout his three seasons at Minnesota beforetransferring to CSU. After sitting out a year, perNCAA transfer rules, he was a bit of an unknowncommodity.That status didn’t last long. Iverson quickly establishedhimself as the best post player in the MountainWest Conference and a go-to player in CSU’s seniorladenlineup. Iverson averaged 14.2 points and aleague-leading 9.8 rebounds, helping the Rams leadthe nation in rebound margin.More importantly, Iverson gave the Rams a consistentinside presence, helping them finish second inthe Mountain West and earn their second consecutiveNCAA Tournament berth and post aschool-record 26 wins. Iverson was named first-teamall-conference and all-district.“I wouldn’t have transferred if I didn’t think I wascapable of being more successful,” Iverson said. “Iwanted to have great individual and great team suc-Join the discussion #CSUMagazinecess. With all the rewards I’ve received, I kind offeel like I reached my expectations, but I also setmy goals high and am really proud of myaccomplishments.”As a result of his outstanding play, Iverson willhave a chance to play professionally. He wasinvited to compete in the annual NBA combine inMay, and was chosen by the Indiana Pacers in thesecond round before being traded to the BostonCeltics. He became the first CSU player to bedrafted since current New Orleans Pelicans forwardJason Smith was taken in the first round in2007.Iverson, who graduated in May with a degree inliberal arts, said he will always be thankful to formerCSU coach Tim Miles for giving him thechance to transfer and to Eustachy for helpinghim become one of the nation’s top centers.“I had a great two years at CSU,” he said. “Myteammates were my family – really, we’re all likebrothers. It was something special, and I’ll neverforget them. We’ll all look back in a couple ofyears and really appreciate what weaccomplished.”

The World ViewFrom CampusBY TONY PHIFER@TonyPhiferAward-winning five-year internationalization planbolsters University’s profile as a global institutionWhen Jim Cooney arrived on campus in 2005following a distinguished career at Harvard,Colorado State University was considered amiddle-of-the-road player in the field of campusinternationalization.Fewer than 900 international students wereenrolled at CSU, and another 600 domestic studentswere participating in study abroadprograms. Most universities would be satisfiedwith those numbers, but Cooney – with thebacking of CSU President Tony Frank and ProvostRick Miranda – had loftier goals.“I thought we could do much, much better,”said Cooney, CSU’s Vice Provost for InternationalAffairs.Join the discussion #CSUMagazine

It has served as the guide to CSU’s push to betterinternationalize its campus.Jim CooneyHe was right. In February, CSU was chosen toreceive the prestigious Senator Paul Simon Awardfor Campus Internationalization. The award,sponsored by NAFSA: Association of InternationalEducators, will be presented in Novemberat a reception in Washington, D.C.“This is great news for Colorado State,” Cooneysaid. “Internationalization is not just one thing oncampus – it should be about everything. At CSU,we use a multitiered strategy, and we don’t justfocus on numbers. We focus on faculty links, onresearch, on global partnerships, and on collegeand departmental involvement with our strategicpartners because, with these relationships, studentnumbers fall into place for all the rightreasons.”Winning the award was the reward for fiveyears of continuous work after plans were put inplace to greatly enhance CSU’s reputation ininternational education. Increasing internationalstudent enrollment to 3,000 by 2020 was a primarycomponent of the plan, but it was amultifaceted road map that included forging keyinternational partnerships, leveraging CSU’s reputationas a world leader in research, encouragingmore domestic students to study abroad, andenhancing campus infrastructure to accommodatethe influx of student from around the world.The plan, implemented in 2008, was titled,“Critical Choices for a Critical Century: Matchingthe Land-Grant University to a Global Mission.”The results have been dramatic.CSU signed a deal with INTO University Partnershipsin 2012 to expand recruitment ofinternational students and provide them with betterprograms and facilities. With INTO spreadingthe word about CSU’s reputation for research anda welcoming campus, international enrollmenthas jumped by 39 percent, from 882 to 1,226,since 2008-09.Not surprisingly, CSU’s biggest gains have comein China. Prior to INTO’s arrival, CSU alreadyhad forged partnerships with Hunan University,East China Normal University, and other highlyranked Chinese institutions to exchange studentsand research collaboratively.CSU’s 2012 agreement with Coca-Cola helpedlay the groundwork for some of the work inChina. Coca-Cola is trying to make inroads inthe huge Chinese market, but a lack of availablewater presents significant challenges.

history of cutting-edge water research made for aperfect pairing and led Coca-Cola to form theChinese Water Scholars program to bring giftedstudents from China to take advantage of CSU’sworld-renowned water programs.The result of this multifaceted strategy is athree-fold increase of Chinese students at CSU.“We will continue to look to our relationshipsin China to build our population of Chinese students,”Cooney said. “We have the capacity forsignificant growth in international students, andwe are making certain to shape that growth inways that maximize benefit to the University.”While some of the international initiatives arerelatively new, CSU has long been a player ininternational programs and education. The University’soutstanding track record in waterresearch, engineering, and business have beendrawing international students to campus fordecades.The most visible program is the Peace Corps,which was founded in 1961 after the late MauryAlbertson, a longtime CSU professor of engineering,wrote the paper that President Kennedy usedas the basis to create the organization. Since then,more than 1,500 CSU students have served in thePeace Corps, ranking CSU 14th among all U.S.colleges and universities.And the growth continues. CSU ranked fifth ingraduate student volunteers and 12th in undergraduatesfor 2013, and the Fort Collins-Lovelandarea ranked No. 1 in per-capita volunteers, with14.7 Peace Corps volunteers per 100,000 people.Fort Collins-Loveland was the only Colorado cityranked in the top 10.“We are thrilled to find out that CSU continuesto move up in the rankings as a recruiter forPeace Corps volunteers at the graduate andundergraduate levels,” Cooney said.And the push continues.CSU ranked second in the United States in the2013 International Student Barometer, whichmeasures satisfaction level of international stu-Join the discussion #CSUMagazine

dents at many of the country’s most prestigiousuniversities. CSU has finished second in back-tobackyears in the ISB survey.In mid-April, CSU opened its Confucius Institute,part of a worldwide network of 400-plusinstitutes designed to promote Chinese languageand culture. Xu Lin, the worldwide head of theConfucius Institutes, attended the grand openingand was joined by Chancellor Mike Martin,Frank, and Miranda.CSU’s Confucius Institute is one of just 90 inthe United States and the only one of its kind at afour-year institution in Colorado.“Dr. Xu was the highest-ranking Chinese officialto ever visit our campus, so we are excitedand humbled by this great opportunity,” Cooneysaid. “The Confucius Institute will be a great assetto our community, and we are thrilled to haveone on our campus.”In the meantime, while aggressively seeking toadd to its international enrollment, CSU is alsoexpanding its commitment to study abroadopportunities for its domestic students. Last year,CSU boosted participation 12 percent, withnearly 750 students studying abroad for creditand another 400 participating in noncreditprograms.And while China remains a primary target forexpanded opportunities in research and enrollment,CSU is also reaching out to universities inAfrica and South America.“There has been a remarkable commitmentthat departments and individuals across our campushave made in putting our goals for greaterinternational engagement into action,” Frank said.“We would not have made the progress we’vemade without the passion and energy of many,many people who recognize the importance ofinternational education and global partnerships.”Join the discussion #CSUMagazine

The technique heuses, lithography, has existed for centuriesand requires patience and incredible focuson the part of the artist. As Lenaway says,“You really have to be in the moment.”Being the squad leader in convoy operationsin an Army transportationcompany required a similar kind of concentration.“You have to give yourcomplete attention to it because your jobis to get everyone back safe,” he said. “As88 Mikes, we were hauling high-octane jetfuel in 48,000-gallon fuel tankers. In aconvoy, most people don’t want to be anywherenear you. One RPG(rocket-propelled grenade) could send itup. Especially if you had mostly fumes onboard, which was often the case.”Lenaway doesn’t dwell on the harrowingaspects of his 27 months in NorthernIraq other than to say that convoys frequentlycame under attack. “War neverleaves you the same,” he said. “There arethings that I’d never think about doing

that I had to do over there. It comes downto self-defense. These things are alwayswith me; I just don’t talk about them.”What he does talk about, with greatpoignancy, is the remarkably close bondthat is felt between soldiers in combatzones and also about the connections hemade with the Iraqi people.He recalls the night (it was his firstChristmas Eve in Iraq) when the baseraised an enormous tent and put on avariety show. Under the tent, the soldiersdrank coffee, opened care packages fromhome, shared news about family, and toldjokes. The chill and darkness outsideseemed held back by the warmth of thecomradeship inside. “At the end of theshow,” Lenaway said, “everyone begansinging ‘Silent Night.’ I don’t think I’veever heard a more beautiful rendition ofthat song, and it wasn’t even the best singing.We were like family under that tent.“I found it amazing that during deployment,you could walk down the streetwith a buddy and not have to ask how he’sfeeling,” he said. “You know when he’sscared and when he’s missing home. It wasa heightened sense of thoughts and feelingsthat we shared.”Lenaway also developed deep ties withsome of the Iraqi people he met. An IraqiCSU a Military-Friendly Schoolguard who was leaving presented Lenawaywith a gift of a teapot and teacups.Another invited him to his wedding. Andon his last day at Camp Spiker, Lenawayhad an emotional goodbye with the twointerpreters who’d worked with him. “Allof us were crying,” he said.The Iraqi children were especiallyendearing to Lenaway. “You’d give them asoccer ball, and they’d hug it and say, ‘Ilove this soccer ball!’ They’d kick that ballfor hours and hours.” In a coffee shop onbase, Lenaway sat with the owner’s 7-yearoldson for entire afternoons, teachinghim how to sketch.“My happiest experience over there wason a day we took supplies to a village. Wewere literally in the middle of nowhere,and there was this fourth-century monasterythat was carved out of the side of amountain. Inside it was a Roman CatholicChurch and an orphanage. The priest gaveus a tour.“He showed us his red phone to theVatican, which still cracks me up! Thenwe came upon this group of about 25 kidscarrying book bags. They were so beautiful.They stopped in their tracks to look atus. Their expressions were a reflection ofeverything I’d seen on the faces of Americansoldiers and Iraqis – fear, anxiety, aswell as happiness. One kidcame up to me with a bigsmile on his face and justlooked up at me. I squatteddown, and he shook myhand and said, ‘Hello!’“I refer to this as ‘TheMoment,’ ” Lenaway said,“because it was a moment ofelation for me in the middleof my war experience.”An artist named LindaRoth depicted the scene in aprint during a workshopsponsored by the AdultLearner and Veteran Ser-

vices office. Theprogram, called “FromUniforms to Art,”paired artists with veteransto assist them inreconciling and sharingtheir personalexperiences.“The intent of theproject is also tobroaden the narrativethat we’re used to hearingabout service andthe military culture tomore people – some ofwhom may not haveany other experiencewith veterans,” saidALVS Director JennyPickett. “This kind ofdialogue is integral tothe Rams community. It not only helpsothers learn about veterans but also helpsour veterans and adult learners becomesuccessful at CSU and beyond as theytransition to their postcollegiate careers.”As a student veteran, Lenaway appreciatesprogramming like the Veterans PrintProject (piloted by Yvette Pino, Universityof Wisconsin, of which the From Uniformsto Art workshop was a part) butalso the space the ALVS office provides inwhich veterans can relax, study, and sharewith each other. “When I’m at an eventwith the ALVS and I’m with these otherveterans, there’s a way that we can jokeand interact that kind of feels like home.And then it’s like – it’s kind of like havingyour buddies back. It doesn’t matter thatthey didn’t deploy to the same place.”He credits CSU’s faculty, as well, in beinginstrumental in his successful transition toCSU (Lenaway graduates this May with hisM.F.A.). “When I got accepted here intograduate school, I was so happy, and thenout of the blue, I got an order to go back toIraq. CSU kept me enrolled and gave me aleave of absence for a year!” Lenaway said.“When my second tour was done, Iimmediately packed up and came to CSU.That first semester, I was working as ateaching assistant for Professor Jim Dormer.Of course, he knew that I was used toa certain environment where you’re told,‘Do this, no questions asked.’ He allowedme to take that from my military experienceand use that in dealing with some ofmy students. It’s weird, that kind of toughlove thing. I found that once my studentsunderstood it, it was kind of endearing tothem.“Some of the faculty and staff at CSUreally understood, that because I’d just lefta combat zone literally weeks before, I wasgoing to have a certain way of being. Theywere respectful in not asking me a lot ofquestions. And when my students wouldsay, ‘Well, he’s kind of hard on us,’ thesefaculty and staff responded, ‘You’ve got tounderstand.’“Now I see these students a year or twolater, and they will readily approach meand say, ‘“Hi, how are you! Hey, what doyou think about this...?’ ”

Curtainscovered the windows, but light bledinto the shadows from around them,revealing a haze of dust in the air.“There was a group of women, maybe18 or so, huddled in the corner, sitting onthe floor, faces covered, with their backsto me. Rifle ready, I told them to standand show me their faces and hands. Notmaking a sound, the women turned andlooked at me, their beautiful, brown eyesand sad, worn faces framed by the folds oftheir burkas.“After patting them down, I did what Icould, providing them basic first aid andmedications.

I lost a friendin the Kor engal Valley who was killed ona mission. I talked to some other people,and they said, ‘You need to talk about this.’Through counseling and other resources,I’ve come to the point where I get reallyemotional, but it’s good. I’m okay with lettingpeople know that I have feelingsagain. Here at CSU, I’ve developed someclose friendships.
