About the Thematic Year

The Thematic Year is a central university initiative that serves to highlight the incredible research, programs, academic initiatives, students, faculty and staff who are accomplishing extraordinary things at CSU.

Having a rotating annual theme provides the opportunity for the University to focus on major world initiatives that cross through and between all departments and colleges which, in turn, assists in stimulating additional multidisciplinary work at CSU.

Following last year’s theme of health, the 2023-2024 Thematic Year will focus not only on the institutions and structures around democracy and civic engagement, but also the values, principles and processes they encompass.
