Conversation About Academic Freedom and Staff

Dear Colleagues,

The Academic Freedom Temporary Operational Group has been tasked with writing a report on academic freedom at Colorado College. This report will examine how CC’s academic freedom policies are translated into practice and provide recommendations to support faculty and academic-facing staff in advancing the College’s educational mission. To understand how academic freedom impacts certain groups on campus, we will be hosting several conversations over the next few months and hope to see many of you there. Your input will be valuable as we prepare our report.

The Academic Freedom Conversation Starter document is not complete nor comprehensive; it is a starting point for discussion. Our hope is that you will read this document and attend at least one of the upcoming sessions where you can share feedback, personal experiences, and unique scenarios that you experience related to academic freedom.

We thank you for the work you do to strengthen the College’s academic environment.

Academic Freedom Feedback Sessions for Staff:

Wednesday, July 15, 10-11:30 a.m.: Tim Fuller Event Space, Tutt Library 2nd Floor

Wednesday, Aug. 5, 1-2:30 p.m.: Zoom https://coloradocollege.zoom.us/j/96656504449

Wednesday, Sept. 23, 10-11:30 a.m.: Tim Fuller Event Space, Tutt Library 2nd Floor

Sincerely,

Dustin Fife and Chelsea Walter

Curious George: The Golden Meatball

George had been waiting all month for All-You-Can-Eat Meatball Day, a day almost bigger than his birthday! But this year, the hungry crowd had vanished! Something was keeping people away… something pretty big. And that something was Phinneas T. Lightspeed and his speedy Meatballs-o-Matic machine. In despair, George’s friend Chef Pisghetti vows to cook no more. Determined to help him, George goes on a mission to enter the Chef’s meatballs in the world-famous Golden Meatball Contest in Rome.

Everyone’s favorite mischievous monkey and his friend in the yellow hat sing and dance up a storm in this adventure-filled musical. Curious George: The Golden Meatball runs July 21-Aug. 2 at the FAC. American Sign Language interpretation is offered during the Saturday, Aug. 1, at 3 p.m. Get your tickets today!
