The College’s annual Summer Away Fair will be Thursday, Nov. 21, from noon-2 p.m. in the Worner Lobby. Faculty and student alumni of all 11 CC Summer Away programs will be there to share information about their programs.

We will also have six popular programs returning for 2025, including Summer Spanish in Spain, as well as programs in Bali, Berlin, Italy, and London. Come, ask questions, pick your favorite, and you can even apply on Summit that same day. Applications are open until Jan. 15, but we always recommend applying as soon as you have chosen a program you’d like to join.

In this session, you will learn about the CES program requirements, optional CEL track, engagement pathways at CC. This event will be at the Collaborative for Community Engagement Office (1008 N. Weber) from 1:30-2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 30. Register today.

Bring your old and new CC gear to this special swap event at the CC Pantry Exchange (basement of Worner). Join your fellow students and CC alumni to exchange stories, memories, and apparel. The goal?

Help us create a sustainable, community-driven event rooted in storytelling and shared experiences on Saturday, Nov. 2 from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m.
