The Collegiate Readership Program at CSU is designed to expose students to "The World off Campus."
Program Mission:
The goal of The Collegiate Readership Program is to enhance the learning environment on campus by exposing students to the news in their living, working and community spaces. The program was started at Penn State University in 1997, with the specific goal of promoting civic literacy and global awareness on campus through daily exposure to the news. The CRP provides students access to newspapers, creating an atmosphere of community awareness and preparing for our rapidly-changing, global society.
