New Start
Colorado State University has proudly served our military veterans for decades. That tradition continues through the New Start program, which is assisting injured veterans successfully re-enter the classroom, workforce, and their communities.
The number of injured military personnel returning from active duty has steadily increased as a result of wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other areas. The New Start program offers veterans consultation and rehabilitation services, including comprehensive assessments of their strengths and challenges at home, at work, and at school.
