Marina Fella

Hi CC students! My name is Marina Fella and I am your campus dietitian. I have been at CC since October 2023, and I am here to help optimize your dining experience. Some of the services I offer include meeting with you about general nutrition questions, providing guidance the dining options around campus to meet your specific needs, and answering any questions or concerns you may have related to the food available on campus. A little bit about me: I’m originally from the east coast and love spending my free time hiking, gardening, skiing, and camping. I am extremely passionate about environmental sustainability and strive to live a low-waste lifestyle. 

Throughout the school year, you can find me in Rastall during lunch. If you see me around campus, stop and say hi! Otherwise, if you would like to meet with me, you can pick a time/day that works best for you through this link: Book time with Fella, Marina R.: Virtual Meeting

CC Trustee and President and CEO of the Aspen Institute Dan Porterfield

By Megan Clancy ’07

Earlier this year, the New York Times reported on an upswing of Pell Grant recipients at colleges in the American Talent Initiative (ATI). Launched in 2016, the initiative is a Bloomberg Philanthropies-supported collaboration between the Aspen Institute’s College Excellence Program, Ithaka S+R, and a growing alliance of colleges and universities dedicated to substantially expanding opportunity and access for low- and moderate-income students. And one leading member of this group is Colorado College.

ATI was inspired by decades of work by individual colleges and universities to expand college opportunity as well as research showing that tens of thousands of high-achieving, low- and moderate-income students are unable to gain access at top colleges and universities. At these member schools, lower-income enrollment has fully recovered from its recent decline. CC’s involvement in ATI is largely due to Dan Porterfield, CEO of the Aspen Institute and a member of CC’s Board of Trustees.
