Warner College of Natural Resources, along with all of Colorado State University, is operating virtually due to the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. Our primary concern is the health and wellness of all of our community members and so we are committed to doing what is necessary to limit the spread of COVID-19.
While this situation is far less than ideal in many ways, the College is committed to providing enriching educational experiences, regardless of their format, to all of our students. There are also opportunities to engage in community throughout this trying time in development. Please check this site for those virtual community engagement opportunities and help us keep our Warner spirit alive.
To our students we say: we hope summer is going as well as possible for you, but if you have any needs you cannot find resources for regarding Summer term, Fall semester or other questions for the College, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
