Dear Alumni, Parents, and Families:

Colorado College is taking a phased approach to bringing students to campus this fall. The plan helps CC follow the state’s recommendations for re-openings of workplaces and campuses. In order to best protect our students, faculty, staff, and the greater community — and in keeping with state and public health recommendations — our plan for the fall will also require that we restrict visitors to campus and all large events. Consequently, plans for Family and Friends Weekend and Homecoming are being adjusted. While we are deeply disappointed that we will not be able to gather in person for these events this fall, we remain committed to the health and safety of all. Thank you for your understanding as we navigate these still uncertain times.

Programming for Parents and Families

A variety of virtual programming designed to help parents, family members, and friends connect to their students’ experiences at CC will take place throughout the fall in place of Family and Friends Weekend (originally scheduled for Sept. 25-27). Stay tuned for more information via email and on our website. Questions can be directed to parents@coloradocollege.edu.

Homecoming

Homecoming Weekend (originally scheduled on campus for Oct. 8-11 has been postponed. Plans are underway for a joint on-campus Homecoming for all 2020 and 2021 reunion classes! We look forward to celebrating all classes ending in 0 and 5, including the Class of 1970, who will celebrate their 50th Reunion. And we hope a joint Homecoming provides a unique and special opportunity for alumni to see classmates from adjacent class years as well as their own. Answers to frequently asked questions can be found on our Homecoming FAQ web page. Please direct additional questions regarding Homecoming to homecoming@coloradocollege.edu.

We appreciate the support and feedback we’ve received from so many of you who have reached out. We can’t wait to be together — in person, on campus — when the time is right. In the meantime, watch for updates on ways to connect through virtual programming this fall, including the 50th anniversary celebration of the Block Plan.

Sincerely,

Tiffany Williamson Kelly

Director of Alumni and Family Relations
