If YES, then join the 2026-2027 Building Bridges program! Meet someone new, learn about a different part of CC, get a free lunch, and win some sweet CC swag.
Here are the specific details:
Who: Any CC staff or faculty member.
What: Sign up now, and faculty and staff organizers, members of the Faculty Executive Committee (FEC), Staff Council (SC), and the Office of Institutional Equity and Belonging (IEB) will match you with a faculty member (if you’re staff) or a staff member (if you’re faculty), based on your interests but also with some randomness built in. We will create some groups of three if the numbers aren’t perfectly balanced—please let us know if you would especially like this or prefer not! You and your Building Bridges group will choose some ways to interact. The basic package is for the staff member to visit the faculty member’s class or engage with their research/outreach in some fun way, and for the faculty member to visit the staff member’s office/workplace or engage with their work in some fun way, and for the partners to have lunch together at Rastall with lunch passes provided by the Dean of Faculty. This could be as little as 3 hours, during work hours, spread over the whole academic year. We will also provide you with a list of other activities that you can try with your partner—attending CC events, cross-constituency social stuff, and other minor adventures. We will have some giveaways. We have some excellent CC swag and a little funding to make this fun!
How/When: Sign up by filling out this short survey by Tuesday, Sept. 29 and we will match you on Sept. 30. Save the date to meet your partner at our Lunch Launch on Monday, Oct. 5.
Why: To have fun and build community across constituencies at Colorado College.
