Colorado State Alumnus Recognized as 40 Under 40

Aaron Harris, Colorado State ’02, has received the BizWest 40 Under 40, an award recognizing individuals who are shaping the future of Northern Colorado.

Harris is the Senior Recreation Supervisor for the city of Fort Collins. He oversees the city’s recreational programming, as well as building rentals and STEM programs. He improves and entertains the community by planning events like the Fourth of July parade, Hogwarts Halloween, and the Father’s Day 5K, all of which are either free to the public or benefit non-profits.

Harris is a 2016 recipient of the Phi Award and has more recently received the “World Class Person” award from the city this year, among other awards for risk management and education.

Before his position with the city of Fort Collins, Harris spent eight years as Assistant Director of Club Sports at Colorado State. During his time there, Harris volunteered for CSU’s Cans Around the Oval, a local food bank, where he personally collected over 30,000 lbs. of food.

Congratulations to this man of distinction!
