Good morning, Fort Collins.

The Eye is a CSU art club that invites students from all majors to join monthly studio circles on the first Tuesday of each month.

The club provides art supplies—including recycled items—and helps students enjoy creative work without grade pressure.

CSU Homecoming and Family Weekend honored five alumni who have changed the game in sports, media, comedy and poetry, including Becky Hammon, Eugene Daniels, Leslie Jones, Yusef Komunyakaa and Amy Van Dyken.

Eugene Daniels delivered the May 16 commencement keynote where he urged graduates to embrace their strengths — a message that reflects the enduring Ram spirit.

Professor Marius Lehene of Colorado State, who grew up on a Transylvanian farm, said art owes a deeper truth and that artists must keep learning as they face AI challenges—he stressed that education remains key to understanding modern social changes.

Colorado State University researchers earned six new patents over the past year, working on projects that improve farming, medicine and technology—like finding genes that help fight weeds, making tough hydrogels, and 3D printing heart devices.

The patents drive practical advances from smarter crop care to better data storage and waste conversion.

After a 49-21 win over Fresno State, CSU football will build on its success as they prepare to face Hawaii at Canvas Stadium on Oct.
