The deadline to confirm participation in a fall semester away program is Friday, May 1. This applies to CC in Berlin, CC Russian in Central Asia, and all partner-led programs. Please confirm your participation in Summit by this date.

Students enrolled in off-campus blocks during Block 1 or Block 3 should note the withdrawal deadlines: Friday, May 1 for Block 1-2 courses and Saturday, August 1 for Block 3-4 courses. Withdrawals must be completed on Summit by the withdrawal deadline to avoid late withdrawal fees, which are 25% of the program fee, 75% if the withdrawal is in the block prior to departure.

Are you about to move out? You’ll want to know about Ditch the Dumpster (DTD)! DTD is CC’s move-out donation program designed to keep donatable items out of the landfill and give them a second life. It’s a simple way to help reduce our waste and keep sustainability efforts going strong as we wrap up the year.

DTD starts on Friday, May 8 at noon. Drop-off sites will be available 24/7 at the following locations:

Does your summer internship require credit? Would earning .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 significant learning experience outside the classroom setting, and represents an educational strategy that links classroom learning with the application of knowledge in an applied work setting. Email Andrea Culp 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.

The First Destination Survey takes about 3 minutes and helps future students, academic departments, and the college better understand what paths look like after CC. You don’t need to have finalized plans. “Still searching” is a real and important answer. Complete the survey today. If you are unsure about next steps, the Career Center can help you get started. Drop-ins are 1-4 pm, Monday-Thursday, or schedule an appointment via Handshake.

The Emissions Team within the Office of Sustainability is excited to share the latest Greenhouse Gas Technical Report.

It offers a deep dive into carbon emissions, ranging from direct campus operations to indirect sources like travel. We invite you to review the findings and see how our collective efforts are shaping the College’s environmental footprint.
