Their replies: Steven Janke, professor of mathematics and computer science, started at CC in 1975. “No dramatic retirement plans, but I do have a few writing projects brewing and hope for plenty of time in my workshop.

Stay Connected Through Social Media, Mobile Apps, and Online Tools

Many years ago, Colorado College launched OurCC as an online tool that could, in part, help alumni connect with students for career-related mentorship. The mentor section was but one module in a suite of tools that includes event registration, website development for the Office of Alumni Relations, broadcast email, and e-commerce, such as making a gift online or paying for a fee-based event. In reality, OurCC provided more utility for the institution itself than it did for the alumni CC intended to serve.

Giving Up on Politics is Not an Option

Politician bashing is a favorite American pastime: “Don’t vote—it only encourages them!” “If God wanted us to vote, He would have given us candidates!” “A politician is someone who answers every question with an open mouth!” But thank goodness Washington, Madison, Jefferson, Lincoln, the Roosevelts, Kennedy, Reagan and Obama were all masterful and professional politicians.
