SUMMARY:On the Walls at CSU: Posters from the 1970s
DESCRIPTION:CSU Libraries presents On the Walls at CSU: Posters from the 
 1970s\, a companion exhibition highlighting the visual culture\, student 
 activism\, and creative energy that shaped Colorado State University during 
 a pivotal decade. On view in CSU’s Morgan Library through Spring 2026\, 
 the exhibition features posters\, exhibition panels\, and publications 
 produced at CSU in the 1970s and preserved in the University 
 Archives.\n\nPart of a triple milestone celebration marking the 50th 
 anniversary of CSU’s University Archives\, the 150th anniversary of the 
 State of Colorado\, and the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United 
 States\, On the Walls at CSU invites visitors into a decade defined by bold 
 graphic design\, grassroots activism\, and a renewed interest in history 
 and identity.\n\nThe posters on display advertised campus activities and 
 events and would have been encountered by students as they moved across 
 campus. Many were designed by CSU Graphic Design emeritus professors and 
 internationally recognized artists Bob Coonts\, Phil Risbeck\, and John 
 Sorbie\, whose work helped define the university's visual language during 
 this era.\n\nAlso featured are exhibition panels celebrating major academic 
 milestones for CSU Libraries\, including the acquisition of the 800\,000th 
 and 1\,000\,000th volumes. These materials reflect a period of significant 
 growth for the Libraries\, coinciding with CSU’s emergence as a premier 
 research institution.\n\nSelections from The Rocky Mountain Collegian and 
 The Silver Spruce yearbook further document student life in the 1970s\, 
 revealing a campus community actively engaged in free speech\, advocacy\, 
 institutional change\, and cultural expression.\n\nTogether\, the posters\, 
 panels\, and publications on view illustrate how creativity and activism 
 shaped everyday campus life while laying foundations for the university’s 
 future. Preserved within CSU’s Archives and Special Collections\, these 
 materials remain available for research and rediscovery by today’s CSU 
 community.\n\nExhibition Details:\nOn the Walls at CSU: Posters from the
