2022 Student Research and Internship Symposium
|
|
Celebrate the work of students at the SCoRe (Summer Collaborative Research) and Internship Symposium on Thursday, Oct. 6, at 3 p.m. in Cornerstone Arts Center. This symposium is the culminating event after a summer of collaborative research and internship experiences conducted by students and faculty, as well as through off-campus organizations. This year, projects ranged from researching podcasts that center the experiences of Afroitalians to an internship experience working for the Durst Organization, a real estate development firm in New York that values and invests in sustainable development. All members of the CC community are invited to attend the series of short presentations, poster sessions, and discussions from a variety of academic disciplines.
The collaborative research projects are funded by the Office of the Dean of the College’s Faculty Student Collaborative Grant, departmental funds, internal grants, external research grants, and the Career Center’s Student Internship Funding Program.

Untold Stories: Frieda Ekotto

Ekotto, who was born in Cameroon and grew up in Switzerland, was a citizen of the world by her late teens. She moved from Europe to the U.S. to attend high school as a nontraditional student, where she meant to learn English. But her studies weren’t going well and she felt lost. Then, while skiing, she met two CC professors — Harvey and Marcelle Rabbin — who asked her to apply to Colorado College. They helped her with the application to earn a fellowship, and Ekotto enrolled in classes in 1983.
When she began her career at CC, she faced a deep and abiding challenge: to learn English fast enough to keep up with her coursework. She says it was Harvey and Marcelle who helped her to stay the course. The Rabbins took her under their wing, treating her like a surrogate daughter. Marcelle, who was born in France, taught Ekotto in both French and English.
After graduating, Ekotto went on to earn a Ph.D. in French and comparative literature from the University of Minnesota. She then began teaching at the University of Michigan. Throughout a storied career spanning academic and creative works, she has never left the university. In 2014, she became the first African woman to lead the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies, and was awarded a Collegiate Professorship, one of the highest faculty honors given by the university. Today, as she teaches students, Ekotto passes on Harvey’s most important lesson. She asks them to find their own voice: their contribution to the discourse, and their unique ability to create a better and more peaceful world.

Students in classes from four different departments (music, anthropology, English, and sociology) perform an exercise led by staff from the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College by interacting with a piece of art from a special exhibit on colonialism and the Caribbean. Students will explain to each other how the discipline they have been using informs their interpretation of the art
