59 years ago this week, Colorado Mountain College held its very first class.

On October 2, 1967, students showed up for day one at two campuses, Leadville and Spring Valley. This photo shows Spring Valley that same year, buildings still going up while the first students were arriving.

Fast forward to today, and those two campuses have grown into eleven, spread across nine counties, serving about 14,000 students a year.

As we celebrate 59 years of opportunity, growth, and community impact, we're also investing in the future. Scholarships help today's students access the same life-changing education that generations of CMC students have experienced since 1967.

Today is the final day to Saddle Up for CMC's Annual Day of Giving. Make a gift of $19.67 in honor of CMC's founding year, or give any amount that feels right to you.

Happy first day of fall semester 🍂🍁

Krystal 93's "In the Classroom" segment put Dr. Brooke Carson, associate professor of teacher education at CMC's Summit County and Leadville campuses, in the spotlight this month.

Her path to teaching started with a hallway comment from a college professor: "Clearly, you need to be a teacher." Since then, she's taught middle school, led professional education at Keystone Science School, and partnered with NASA on Mars rover curriculum. Now she's the one spotting that same potential in others, like the Einstein Bagels manager she once told, "I think you should be a teacher," who's now her student at CMC, earning her degree through the state's teacher apprenticeship program.

History has a way of sticking around in Colorado.

Today, as the country marks 250 years, we're reminded that the American story isn't just in textbooks — it's in the buildings, the murals, the small mountain towns that have weathered more than most. Happy Independence Day. 🇺🇸
