Colorado State University’s Office of Community and Economic Development hired Creek Consulting
to aid in the process of applying to become an ‘Innovation and Economic Prosperity University’ by the
Association of Public and Land-grant Universities. Working alongside university leadership and staff
at the Community and Economic Development office, Creek Consulting specifically facilitated
stakeholder conversations and supported the process design.

As a result of this collective effort,
Colorado State University was awarded this designation in 2016. Only six universities were awarded
in 2016, and as of 2016, only 54 universities nationwide hold this credential.. To learn more about our services that support innovation, development and community engagement, contact us.
