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. 🇺🇸

From apprentice kitchens in Switzerland and New Zealand to Johnson & Wales in Denver — Chef Bernhard Schrag has spent his career learning by doing. Now, as an associate professor of culinary arts at CMC Breckenridge, he brings that same hands-on philosophy to community cooking classes open to anyone in the valley.

His approach is straightforward: gain a deeper understanding of how simple a dish can really be, and walk away with recipes you can recreate at home.

COLORADO MOUNTAIN COLLEGE HELPS LEAD PASSAGE OF LANDMARK THRIVING INSTITUTIONS LEGISLATION

Colorado just changed how it measures college success — and CMC had a seat at the table.

New state legislation shifts the focus from who colleges enroll to how well their students actually thrive: graduating, entering the workforce, and building economic mobility. We're proud to have helped shape a framework that puts student outcomes first.
