YOU@CSU

 YOU@CSU uniquely personalizes campus resources and hundreds of evidence-based/informed original content and tools to increase CSU student success. The innovative digital tool promotes self- reflection, allowing students to be more proactive with their health and well-being in order to make the most of their college experience.

Students can complete brief assessments and create their profile in order to customize content. Users can learn new skills, get advice, set goals, peruse useful and relatable content, or search for something specific.

Using the portal, students can explore their strengths and areas for growth across three domains:

  • SUCCEED = Academics / Career
  • THRIVE = Physical / Mental Health
  • MATTER = Purpose / Community / Social

For Staff and Faculty: Recognizing the importance of employee well-being, the CSU Health Network helped launch a new version of You@CSU in September 2022. Its several functions include, supporting employee health and well-being, professional development, as well as dialing up work-life balance resources and giving a glimpse into the student version of You@CSU. It also provides guidance on how to support student well-being and students in distress. 

Additional information

LOG IN AND STUDENT ANONYMITY

Students/Staff/Faculty log in through their RAMweb account or directly at: https://you.colostate.edu/ and use their NetID (formally eID) to create an account.

When users opt-in to use YOU@CSU, the platform collects basic user information (name, email address, etc.). This information is collected to allow the platform to enable secure access and personalized resources for individual users. In addition, YOU@CSU collects product usage data (clicks, time spent on the site, search terms, etc.) each time a person uses the platform.

However, YOU@CSU’s comprehensive privacy defenses protect this information from risk. For example:

  • Data like names and email addresses are always encrypted to protect the user’s identity.
  • We restrict our team’s access to student data, limiting access of confidential information to only key development staff.
  • YOU@CSU analytics use aggregate data and prevents displaying small results sizes.
  • Finally, no YOU@CSU information is ever sold to any outside third party.
YOU@CSU DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP
 
Colorado State University and Grit Digital Health Partnership: A serendipitous meeting in 2014 brought the CSU Health Network and Joe Conrad (Colorado State University Alum, Founder, and CEO of Cactus Marketing and Grit Digital Health) in a room together to explore our mutual efforts in support of student well-being. Many meetings and dozens of focus groups later, You at College was born through this special public-private partnership between Colorado State University and Grit Digital Health. Grit designs innovative technologies to address the complex behavioral health and resourcing needs of students at Colorado State University and campuses across the nation. This partnership has involved content creation/review, platform design enhancements, concept testing and evaluation research to assure inclusivity and effectiveness of this platform. In return, Joe Conrad has gifted yearly license of this and other digital tools for our campus. YOU@CSU launched in Spring 2016 and the new Staff/Faculty version launched in Fall 2022.
