There’s nothing like "CCing" so many families here together. 🥹

This weekend, families visited campus to reconnect, explore their students’ world, and make new memories together. With Micro Blocks, fun events, and plenty of Tiger spirit, Family Weekend was a celebration with the people who make CC feel like home.

Thanks for making the weekend so special, Tiger families. We loved having you here!

Kaviya has been awarded a $10,000 Davis Project for Peace grant to support fisherwomen facing climate displacement along the coast of Tamil Nadu. In partnership with the Human Rights Advocacy and Research Foundation, she will host a three-day conference bringing together 50 single fisherwomen, community organizers, and advocates from across the state.

Together, participants will share their experiences, develop priorities for the state’s coastal budget, and work toward stronger protections for coastal communities.

Last night, Colorado College President Manya Whitaker joined fellow liberal arts college presidents and higher education journalists at the ninth annual Presidents Dinner, hosted by Bucknell University in Washington, D.C.

The gathering brought together leaders and journalists for thoughtful conversation about the opportunities and challenges shaping higher education today. It was a meaningful opportunity to share perspectives, build connections, and champion the value of a liberal arts education.

“My institution, like many in this room, is forming partnerships," says Dr. Whitaker. "Whether it’s pathways from community colleges to us, pathways from us to regional public schools for graduate school, or across the nation to other private institutions for graduate school. This is a moment in higher education when it’s about collaboration, not competition.”

Thank you, Dr. Whitaker, for representing Colorado College in these important national conversations.
