What is Happening

Engage with English in person

The English Department offers a robust schedule of live events throughout each semester at Colorado State University. Most of the entries on this calendar are free of charge and open to all. They aim to cultivate diverse communities around common interests while fostering exchange of ideas.

These gatherings provide unique opportunities for direct engagement with department faculty and students. They invite major literary voices, offer informal spaces for fellowship, and celebrate scholarship and creativity.

Join us all year in person around campus at CSU, and scroll down this page for our full calendar of events.
