Join the Office of Sustainability’s new Sense of Place Farm to Fork Tour in partnership with Bon Appétit during Block Break 7. Explore the journey your food takes from local farms to your plate. This immersive and educational experience offers a behind-the-scenes look at the food system—from production and processing to preparation and consumption—all rooted in our local community. Along the way, you’ll visit sustainable farms, meet local producers, enjoy fresh, thoughtfully prepared meals, and deepen your understanding of sustainability, local economies, and food justice. Sign up before Wednesday, April 8.

The CCE is hiring a Student Director of BreakOut and Communication Intern for next academic year. Apply by Friday, April 27. Email cce@coloradocollege.edu if you have any questions.

Interested in making an impact on campus? The Office of Sustainability is looking for students to join us next year. We are currently hiring for three teams: Operations Intern, STARS Intern, and Sustainability Engagement Intern. If you’re ready to gain hands-on experience in sustainability, please submit your resume and cover letter via Handshake. Deadline extended until Friday, April 27.

We want the CC Exchange, the on-campus thrift space, to work for your schedule. Have a say in our new hours by taking this quick survey. Vote for the times that make it easiest for you to stop by.

Do you need transportation support or a background check for a community engagement activity? Learn more and apply for funding.

Does your summer internship require credit? Would .25 units for an experiential opportunity help you catch up on credits? Sign-up for the General Studies(GS): Internship Adjunct. The GS: Internship Adjunct provides students with a significant learning experience outside the classroom setting. The internship represents an educational strategy that links classroom learning with the application of knowledge in an applied work setting. Email Andrea Culp at aculp@coloradocollege.edu in the Career Center to be added to the Canvas course to learn more about assignments and expectations. You must start the process before your internship begins.

Need funding for a community project? The CCE Microgrants for Community Impact provides up to $1000 in funding to support CC students in their community service initiatives with the Colorado Springs and El Paso County communities. Learn more and apply today.
