Denver Post: “The new name aligns the field education and research campus more closely with CSU’s mission as a land-grant institution and removed association with the person of George Pingree, who played a self-proclaimed role in the Sand Creek Massacre,” the CSU Mountain Campus history page reads. “Despite the surrounding valley still bearing the USGS designation of ‘Pingree Park,’ now the CSU Mountain Campus itself, and the affection many visitors develop for the place, can better reflect CSU’s Principles of Community.”
