Stalwart Rams: Colorado State University's Notable Alumni
“Fight on you stalwart Ram team, on to the goal!” The opening line of Colorado State University’s fight song does more than unite fans at football games and rallies. It reminds the CSU community that we share a common trait forged during college and tested time after time in our professional and personal lives. These notable alumni exemplify what it means to be stalwart Rams. Their achievements make us “proud to be.”
