We are excited to share some of our new branding assets as we refresh the CC brand, and your voice is essential in moving forward. Our brand represents who we are, what we stand for, and how we connect with our community. 

We invite you to join us for one of our virtual, collaborative sessions where we’ll discuss key aspects of our brand identity, hear your opinions, and build collective momentum for this transformation. This is your chance to influence how CC is perceived—both now and in the future. All sessions happening the week of April 21.

Contact Miriam Roth, Internal Communications Manager, for more information and to sign up! Whether you’re a student, faculty, or staff member, your perspective matters! Let’s work together to create a CC brand that resonates with our community and beyond.

The Fashion Show returns on Friday, Apr. 4, from 6–8 p.m. in Cornerstone, bringing creativity, sustainability, and bold new visions to the runway. Presented by Arts & Crafts and the Sustainable Fashion Club, this long-standing CC tradition showcases unique collections created by students, staff, and faculty.

This year’s theme, “Dreamspace: The Future of Fashion,” explores the cutting edge of style with over 15 designer collections, immersive installations, and live performances. Experience fashion like never before — where artistry meets innovation.

Don’t miss your chance to witness the future of fashion unfold!

Adam Farver ’99 greatly values his CC experience. “I love the Block Plan. It’s the way I’m wired. I love working on specific subjects, focusing deeply, and having the ability to be completely immersed in the subject,” he says. “Also, if you want to be a professor at CC, you have to love to teach. So, the engagement with all of the professors at Colorado College is deep, true and authentic.”

Farver knows this personally from co-teaching in the Economics and Business Department with Larry Stimpert, Jim Parco, and Lora Louise Broady ’83. He is always amazed at the caliber of CC students. “Not just their academic ability, which is always striking, but their presence, poise, and passion is unrivaled versus other places where I’ve had the opportunity to interact with students,” he says. “Not only do they tackle questions and problems head-on and provide astounding insight, they also ask phenomenal questions.”
