CPR and CC Announce Partnership to Expand 91.5 KRCC and Create Public Media Center
Colorado Public Radio and CC have entered into a long-term agreement to create a new public media center bringing together 91.5 KRCC, the Rocky Mountain PBS Regional Innovation Center and college journalism resources. As a part of this agreement KRCC will be affiliated with, and operated by, CPR in partnership with the college.
The station will continue to be identified as KRCC. This collaboration will increase KRCC’s ability to produce and deliver original local content and will provide KRCC’s audiences with CPR’s state-wide resources. CPR and CC are committed to maintaining KRCC’s strong local and regional news presence and will continue to employ Colorado Springs-based personnel.

Message to the CC Community
Dear CC Community,
I write to inform you that I will resign my position as President of Colorado College in August 2020 to become the chief executive officer of the National Geographic Society in Washington, D.C.
Serving as your president for the past nine years has been the greatest honor and joy of my long career in higher education. While CC is envied for its distinctive Block Plan and special location, since my arrival in 2011, I have known that our greatest asset is our people. Our staff, faculty, and trustees are innovative and talented, and most importantly, they always put students and our core mission at the center of their work. Our students and alumni are independent, curious, and adventurous leaders who distinguish the college by the impact they have on the world.
In the next several months I will continue to be deeply engaged in the progress and exciting initiatives we are pursuing at the college, to ensure continuity and continued momentum.
Kevin and I are so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this special community and look forward to our continued involvement as CC parents, as both of our children will be students at the college next year. We are excited to watch CC continue to thrive in the decades to come!
With much gratitude,
Jill Tiefenthaler
President
