Alex Griffin
Greenwood Village, CO
Senior, Real Estate Major & Construction Management Minor
Involvement at CSU: Sigma Phi Epsilon, Real Estate Club, Snowriders
Unique aspect of My CSU Experience: All of the friendly people that bleed green and gold here. I have gotten a chance to meet individuals who have pushed me to my utmost potential. I feel as if I have a home away from home every single day and at this point, I'm proud to say that Fort Collins is my home.
My favorite CSU tradition is: Homecoming. The football tailgate and game, the parade, the bonfire, the fireworks, the people, the food, the leaves changing green and gold. I love it all.
The one thing I look forward to most about being a Presidential Ambassador is: working closely with and getting to know some of the top leaders on campus, learning more about the university, football games in the Rams Horn, 1870 dinner, and networking with our phenomenal alumni base.
Alex Swanson

Involvement at CSU: President of Fashion Group International (FGI)
Unique Aspect of My CSU Experience: I have a history of getting very homesick ... and I felt immediately at home in Fort Collins at CSU.
My favorite thing to do on campus is: lay out in the sun on the nice grass (which we don't have too much of in Evergreen) or ride my bike to classes and such.
My favorite CSU tradition is: CSUnity, I love the connection CSU and Fort Collins form, and find it vital we as students give back to the community.
The one thing I look forward to most about being a Presidential Ambassador is: continuing to form ties with the various faculty, alumni, sponsors and donors of CSU.
