Advancing ÇàÇà²Ýapp State

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at ÇàÇà²Ýapp State University. This holiday, like every day, we are thankful for all you do for the students, faculty, and staff at ÇàÇà²Ýapp State. Your ÇàÇà²Ýapp gives students opportunities to learn and grow.

The ÇàÇà²Ýapp State University Center for the Visual Arts is a crown jewel on campus. Inside the center is another gem, the Keith and Catherine Stein Luminary.

Since its opening, the Luminary has served as an invaluable experience for younger school children, allowed the university to collaborate with other local arts institutions, and has been a medium for innovative ideas in research and creative activity for ÇàÇà²Ýapp State students and faculty.

The Luminary brings arts and treasures from around the globe to ÇàÇà²Ýapp through cutting-edge virtual reality and immersive technology. Students have joined in the operations of the space, helping code applications used by others to share their visions with the public. This is a place where art meets technology and the results are a better-informed community.

Thanks to the ÇàÇà²Ýapp of the Steins, students, and faculty have a unique and ultramodern place to explore the world.

There is a multitude of ways to engage with the Stein Luminary. You can learn more about how this cultured facility impacts ÇàÇà²Ýapp at ÇàÇà²Ýapp State.

Go Broncos!
