We are excited to announce Ken Shockley’s appointment as department chair this fall. Shockley hopes to use his wealth of administrative and collaborative experience to support the great work being done in the philosophy department.

Inspiring logician, gifted musician, nature enthusiast, beloved teacher and friend. This year we say goodbye to emeritus professor Fred Johnson.

This fall, the Philosophy Department is excited to welcome our new colleague Andrew Lopez, a specialist in animal philosophy, feminist theory, and Latin American thought.

Aaron Nielsen is no ordinary graduate. He left an engineering career to pursue full-time learning, earning his latest degree in philosophy.

Our philosophy faculty, students, and alumni continue their record of innovative scholarship, teaching, and service at CSU and beyond.

This year’s graduates are a surprisingly creative group—with many experienced musicians, poets, writers, and artists.  In all their chosen fields, we’re sure our grads will put their passion for inquiry, problem-solving, and rigorous thinking to good use.
