Last weekend we were thrilled to honor Jill Tiefenthaler, the 13th president of Colorado College, who was our Class of 2021 Commencement speaker. She received an honorary degree from the college, and we dedicated two spaces in Tutt Library by naming them after her: the Tiefenthaler Entryway, on the east side of the library, and the Tiefenthaler Study Lounge.


Members of the CC Board of Trustees, along with students, faculty, and staff, gathered to see the new space and say hello to our former president. Among her many achievements as president was the renovation and expansion of Tutt Library, which is the largest carbon net-zero academic library in the country.
President Tiefenthaler especially cherished being on stage at Commencement as her daughter, Olivia, received her diploma.
