Colorado State University Information

Colorado state university is one of the research universities in Colorado. In 1876, Colorado territory became a state. Just a few years before that, that is, in 1870, Colorado state university was established. Initially it was founded just as an agriculture college. The college is basically known for its research faculties. Besides environmental studies, atmospheric science, infectious diseases, clean energy technologies, etc are some of the basic research faculties.





It has been estimated that 30% of Colorado population perform their science, math, engineering etc from this university. Along with the basic faculties, the CSU also offers programs in veterinary medicine, journalism, agriculture, construction management etc.





Being mainly a research university, there are many research programs available for the interested people. Whole universe is facing dangerous consequences of air pollution, nutritive defects in certain parts of the world and bioterrorism. The university is providing research facilities regarding these critical issues. Located in Fort Collins, the university includes main campus, mountain campus, an agricultural campus and foothills campus. It is just an hour away from Denver International Airport and is located in the North of Denver metro area.





It is a land grant institution that has around 24,700 resident students with 1450 faculty members and 55 academic departments. The university is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission and a member of North Central Association. Being a research oriented institution; CSU has extended the basic cancer research and treatment from academic world globally. Similar is the case with infectious disease research and treatment. Bridging academics and business world is the motto of this Super clusters acceleration of the university. Public health solutions for the needy people are being carried out here.





There are two parts of research super clusters- Academic infrastructure and enterprise infrastructure. The former has a multidisciplinary coalition of economists, researchers, and business experts that work on research. The later is for promoting business alliances, commercial applications of research, and investment in research products. In addition to these, the graduate school of CSU offers necessary skills and training for practical utility based programs. The university also offers undergraduate degrees in 65 fields of study, masters in 55 fields, doctoral degrees in 40 fields, and degrees in veterinary medicine and biomedical sciences. Co-curricular programs like leadership and diversity programs, women’s programs and studies, learning communities, ROTC, Army and air force, applied studies in American ethnicity etc are done at the university.





The university also offers optional programs for the students who are undecided about the major studies. Health professions, teacher licensure, and law are available as pre-professional preparation.

Saint Martin's University - A Catholic Treasure Hidden in the Pacific NW

Hidden among the evergreens in the great Pacific Northwest is Saint Martin's College, a Benedictine university in the Catholic tradition. As a resident of Lacey, Washington (the state, not DC) I drive by this hidden treasure daily.

Saint Martin's University is an independent four-year, Catholic, coeducational university located on a beautiful 320-acre wooded campus, and has proven to be a magnet for students of wealthy families from Asian countries and associated families and countries around the world.

Established in 1895 by the Catholic Order of Saint Benedict, the University is one of 18 Benedictine colleges and universities in the United States and Canada, and the only one west of the Rocky Mountains.

It is amazing how many great universities there are in this country that remain relatively unknown because of their size and population. Perhaps even less known are the staff members who teach the students.

I was reminded of this the other day upon learning that Tapas Das, an adjunct faculty member of Saint Martin's University School of engineering, has been named the recipient of the Development Organization for Sustainable Transformation (DOST) Professor S. K. Sharma Medal and CHEMCON Distinguished Speaker Award for 2007.

The Indian Institute of Chemical engineers recently conferred the award upon Das to recognize his contributions to the profession of chemical engineering worldwide.

Das received the award last month at the Chemical Engineering Congress (CHEMCON 2007) in Calcutta (now known as Kolkata), India, where he delivered the lecture, "Environmental Sustainability: Key Roles of Chemical engineers" to an international audience of the world's leading chemical engineers.

Tapas Das is a doctor of philosophy and professional engineer. He earned his Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Bradford University in England and a B.S. in chemical engineering from Jadavpur University in Kolkata.

He has conducted postdoctoral research at the Chemical Engineering Department of Imperial College in London, and the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department of Princeton University.

With an expertise in environmental sustainability, Das has managed engineering projects examining air quality, water quality, water reuse, solid waste management, life-cycle assessment and sustainable development.

Saint Martin's University prepares students for successful lives through its 21 majors and 6 graduate programs spanning the liberal arts, business, education and engineering.

Saint Martin's welcomes 1,250 students from many ethnic and religious backgrounds to its main campus, and 650 more to its 5 extension campuses located at Fort Lewis Army Post, McChord Air Force Base, Olympic College, Centralia College and Tacoma Community College, all located in the State of Washington.

Additional information on Saint Martin's College is available through Jennifer Fellinger at (360) 438-4332 if you are calling within the United States.
