Having a Ball With Leadership and Rams Athletics

Raised in Fort Collins to a family of die-hard Rams fans, Kathleen Pitre (B.A., ’00; M.S., ’04) has always been “green and gold from the word go,” and makes it a point to stay until the very last second of every home Rams game. While she loves the thrill of the game, it’s CSU and its community that keeps her so closely connected to her alma mater.

A Ram at the Rockies

Whether it was attending baseball games as a kid or winning flag football championships during her time at Colorado State University, sports have always been an important part of Katie George’s (B.S., ’20) life. Despite her love of all things athletics, the marketing major never expected to pursue a career in that industry until she discovered CSU’s Sports Management Institute. That experience not only helped her see how many job opportunities there were in the sports world, it led her to her dream job with the Colorado Rockies.
