Colorado State University Pueblo

Colorado State University (CSU Pueblo)'s “Adelante Connect” project aims to connect Pueblo residents to the internet and actively engage them in the knowledge economy. The purpose of the pilot project is to achieve an improved sense of digital equity, inclusion, and literacy, while building broadband awareness, and providing broadband solutions amongst in-need students, families, and organizations within the Pueblo anchor communities. The implementation of the project is expected to address key challenges of the Colorado State University - Pueblo and target anchor communities including poverty; lack of access to internet connection; lack of access to computer, smart phone, or tablet; and lack of digital literacy in underserved, low-income neighborhoods.
