CC Receives $2 Million for Unrestricted Financial Aid

Colorado College has received more than $2.3 million from the James W. Austin Charitable Remainder Unitrust, which will go toward a scholarship fund providing unrestricted financial aid. The gift originally was made in May 1993 by James Austin ’29, and remains the single largest life income gift in the history of Colorado College. The funds establish the James W. and Esther Austin Scholarship Fund, in memory of Austin and his wife. Austin’s initial gift was $2,173,259, establishing a Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust.

Olympics a Golden Experience for CC Students

Year of the Tiger

According to the Chinese calendar, this is the year of the Tiger. Which is good news for CC – and the 45 other U.S. colleges and universities that claim the tiger as a mascot. The only mascot that is more popular among colleges and universities is the eagle. The 12 most popular names for four-year college mascots are: Eagles (76), Tigers (46), Bulldogs (39), Panthers (33), Knights (32), Lions (32), Bears (30), Hawks (28), Cougars (27), Pioneers (28), Warriors (27) and Wildcats (27). We checked out other CCs (we know, there are no other true CCs), to see what their mascots were and found: Canisius College Golden Griffins Carleton College…

Visiting Fulbright Specialist Contributes to Colorado Springs

Fulbright Visiting Specialist Nigar Nazar, the first woman cartoonist of Pakistan, and very likely the entire Muslim world, spent Blocks 1 and 2 at CC, where she team-taught “Freedom and Authority in Everyday Life: Women, Men, and Children in the Middle East” with Assistant History Professor Jane Murphy.

Nazar spoke to a variety of local organizations, and eventually settled on donating her time and talent to the pediatric ward at Memorial Hospital. Nazar, now back in Islamabad, Pakistan, is working on mural-size cartoons, featuring her signature character, Gogi,…

Hockey Mom’s Heart Beats Full Strength

Janet Testwuide wears her heart on her sleeve. On both sleeves, in fact. She is the mother of Colorado College senior, hockey player, and team captain Mike Testwuide – and the mother of former University of Denver hockey player and team captain J.P. Testwuide. The rivalry between the CC and DU hockey teams is legendary, and there aren’t too many ways to appease both sides. But Janet Testwuide, of Vail, Colo., has negotiated this slippery ice as only a mother can. For the three years her sons were playing on rival teams, she wore a hockey jersey split up the middle: Colorado College on one side, University of Denver on…
