Graduate Student Resources

HDNR Graduate Student Organization

The HDNR Graduate Student Organization (GSO) is your community, your advocate, and your home base throughout grad school. We connect students across the Human Dimensions of Natural Resources department at Colorado State University — fostering friendships, championing student interests, and creating space for professional growth (and the occasional good time). Whether you’re navigating coursework, fieldwork, or just figuring it all out, the GSO is in your corner.

Join us bi-weekly for the HDNR Seminar Series! Fall 2026 dates, time, and location coming soon!
