Dear Campus Community,


We are heartbroken and in disbelief as we share that our wonderful colleague, friend, and campus leader Brian Young, vice president for ITS, has passed away. Brian had a special warmth and connection with everyone he met, and he supported us all in many ways.
 
We will come together in community at 4 p.m. today in McHugh Commons. 
 
As we experience a wave of emotions and grieve in our own ways, may we find gentleness, care, and kindness for ourselves and each other.
 
We encourage you to lean on these additional resources:
 
Counseling Center at (719) 389-6093 or counselingcenter@coloradocollege.edu“>counselingcenter@coloradocollege.edu 
Chaplain Kate Holbrook at (719) 389-7986 or %20kholbrook@coloradocollege.edu“>kholbrook@coloradocollege.edu
 
After hours and over the weekend, you can connect to a licensed mental health provider by calling the Counseling Center and dialing 2.
 
Employees may also seek counseling through the Employee Assistance Program.
 
Additional information can be found here:

 
We will share more information about Brian’s life and ways to remember him in the coming days.
 
With deepest sympathy, 

Song
