Evening with Your Elected Officials Survey!
 
Evening with Your Elected Officials is an annual Governmental Affairs program in which Students discuss key issues with their elected officials. Our department is interested to see who you’d like to see! Feel free to submit as many times as you’d like!
 
Fill out the survey here

Complete your Student Quality of Work-Life Survey 
Hi ASCSU, please fill out the Student Quality of Work-Life survey sent to your email by Blanche Hughes and Duan Ruff. ALL PAID ASCSU REPRESENTATIVES received this email – let Elisa or Julia know if you can’t find it. This is a survey the Division of Student Affairs references to determine how well we are supporting student employees. It only takes about 10 minutes, and we’d appreciate if ASCSU showed out with our participation!
 

Join ALL IN

Are you interested in understanding and developing CSU’s commitment to democratic engagement on campus and beyond? Join the ALL IN Student Committee through SLiCE. Details below. If you have questions or would like to participate, reach out to Julia Pratt at [email protected].

What is ALL IN?

The ALL IN for Democracy Challenge is a national initiative connecting institutions of higher education in their missions to promote democratic engagement on campus and beyond. Campuses opt in to the ALL IN challenge and create democratic engagement action plans every two years. These plans are then evaluated over the course of two-year periods ahead of the creation of new action plans. You can look at CSU’s history with ALL IN here.

ALL IN and CSU

Student Leadership, Involvement, and Community Engagement houses the work of creating and evaluating ALL IN action plans for CSU. This process is largely archival, meaning we collect information on what folks are doing (and what they plan to do) across campus (and in our community) and compile it. We also help connect folks interested in democratic engagement work to resources and other campus and community partners that may be helpful. We track this data by keeping our ears to the ground, staying engaged in our campus and community, and doing intentional outreach to partners.

ALL IN Student Committee

Introduction the AISC. This will be a small working group of students assisting with the data collection and outreach process associated with ALL IN. Students will reach out to campus and community partners to pulse check their efforts surrounding democratic engagement. They will then help keep our documents around those partners updated so that we have the most accurate information to build out our ALL IN action plans. Students will be assigned specific partners to outreach to OR categories of partners to build out and gather novel data on (e.g., community partners). There are specific data points we are interested in collecting from partners, which will be shared with committee members ahead of outreach.

  1.  We want to thank you all for your patience as our front desk hours remain a little sporadic due to Covid. Members who were not in contact with sick staff will continue to cover their shifts, and we are doing our very best to make sure everyone’s needs are met during this time. Please continue to send requests through the front desk email, and know that we are working diligently — even if updates like the website take a little longer than usual.

    The most important update is that Senate minutes from last week will be included in next week’s newsletter. We apologize for the delay and truly appreciate your understanding. In the meantime, some generous individuals have shared their personal notes for accessibility purposes, and we are grateful for their support.

  2. Best wishes,

MANDATORY TITLE IX TRAINING

Hello all! The last opportunity for mandatory Title IX/Responsible Employee training is going to be held in the Senate Chambers on September 26th from 6pm-7pm.

As a volunteer or employee representing the university, you are required to take training to learn about your responsibilities as a ‘Responsible Employee.’ “All CSU employees, including student employees, and volunteers, are designated as Responsible Employees and are required to report any information related to incidents of sex-based discrimination, harassment, interpersonal violence, and/or retaliation disclosed to them to the Office of Title IX Programs and Gender Equity.”

That said, if you cannot make this training time or have completed a training with a different department already this year, please let me ([email protected]) know. I also understand that this topic can be difficult to discuss for many people. If that is the case for you, I am happy to work with you for a suitable alternative.

Thank you for your time and attention!

Fostering Access, Value, and Purpose in Higher Education with Dr. Angie Paccione

In this episode of Signals, Laura Glaab sits down with Dr. Angie Paccione, Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Higher Education, for a conversation about leadership, opportunity, and the evolving value of higher education. From her groundbreaking path as the first African American woman to receive a full-ride basketball scholarship at Stanford, to teaching, coaching, serving in the state legislature, and ultimately shaping Colorado’s higher ed policy, Dr. Paccione’s story is as inspiring as it is wide-ranging. She shares the bold initiatives Colorado has launched—from awarding associate degrees retroactively to expanding tuition support for foster and homeless youth—while unpacking the uncertainty of higher education funding and the growing focus on workforce value and outcomes.
Beyond policy, Dr. Paccione reflects on the personal lessons that shaped her journey, from navigating college on a shoestring budget to defining leadership through service and the activation of human potential. With her signature energy and candor, she discusses how experiences, values, and passion intersect to drive both personal growth and systemic change. Listeners will also hear her powerful perspective on Title IX, equity in education, and why she believes every student carries “stored greatness” just waiting to be activated.

Graduation Gown Lending Library Information

Hi all,

As this is the first semester the Graduation Gown Lending Library is lending regalia to students, I wanted to give you all a quick run-down of the program and how it works so we can best support students who come into the office with questions when a member of EA is not present. I’d appreciate it if you pinned this email for the fall semester.

How It Works:

Students can fill out the rental request form through:

Once students submit the form, I will:

  • Email them to confirm which regalia items they requested and the pickup date they selected.
  • Work with them to arrange an alternative if they cannot make their chosen pickup date.
  • Include their personalized return date in the email (based on what they submit on the form).

Fall 2025 Pickup Dates

  • September 29: 12:00 p.m.–3:00 p.m.
  • October 6: 2:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m.
  • October 20: 2:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m.
  • November 5: 1:30 p.m.–5:00 p.m.

I will be in the office for the full duration of these pickup times. Students must sign a short contract acknowledging that failure to return their regalia will result in being placed in bad standing with ASCSU. No student should be coming into the office to pick up regalia outside of these times unless they are working directly with me, please do not assist a student in getting regalia from the Environmental Affairs office.

FAQs:

1. Can a student rent regalia in the fall if they are graduating in the spring?
Yes! Students can rent regalia during either semester for photos, commencement, or other celebrations. However, they cannot keep regalia from fall through spring. If they wish to rent for both semesters, they must complete the process twice.

2. When do items have to be returned?
The final return date for the fall semester is December 1, 2025. Each student will also receive their individual return date based on their rental form. In spring, we will have specific return windows that will be available on the ASCSU website and provided to students through the initial email.

3. Do we have master’s or doctoral regalia available?
No, at this time we only serve undergraduate students. However, we are accepting donations of master’s regalia.

4. How can someone donate regalia?
Donation instructions are available on the ASCSU website under the Resources tab. Our marketing team will also post reminders on social media. We accept all gently used undergraduate regalia and master’s regalia. Full sets are not required, individual pieces (cap, gown, tassel, etc.) are welcome.

Reach out with any questions!

Title IX Training:

On April 16th at 5:30 PM we are offering one last chance to get your mandatory Title IX / Sexual Harassment Training. Representatives from the Title IX office and the SAFE Center will be facilitating, and we will meet in the Senate Chambers.

This is your last chance this year to learn about your role as a ‘Responsible Employee’ (which all of you are, as volunteers and student staff). It is also helpful to understand CSU policies and the resources we have as a community for the prevention of and response to harassment, discrimination, and sexual violence.

If you attended our training offered in the fall, or attended a different Title IX training for one of your other obligations during this academic year, you are exempt from this session.

Lauren Davis (Chair, Housing Caucus; Senator, SAFE Center) – “Lauren works so incredibly hard and diligently, ensuring that Housing Caucus is always taking tangible action toward affordable housing.”

Vladimir Lora Pardo (Senator, Academic Advancement Center; Chair, Students of the Oval) – “Vlad truly is a dedicated senator.
