Crown Center Fall Programing

Dear Faculty and Staff,

Educational development opportunities abound on the Colorado College campus. To honor our collective, important, and ongoing pedagogical work, the Crown Center for Teaching will work to highlight gatherings, workshops, and discussions of interest to our faculty, staff, and students.

Please visit the “Educational Development” page on the Crown Center website to view this robust (and growing) set of “Crown Affiliate Events” taking place this fall semester.  There you can also inform us of any opportunities organized by your department or program that we can share out to the broader campus.

One such upcoming example is Care in the Academy, taking place at the FAC next Wednesday, September 12th and co-sponsored by our colleagues in History & Feminist and Gender Studies.

Please do not hesitate to reach out about anything teaching related at any point in time!

Sincerely,

Ryan

Location: Packard Hall

View Character Breakdowns

Sign up for an audition time

About the show:

Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor. Featuring a fast-paced, wildly funny and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a truly fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, this bee is one unforgettable experience.

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter, one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box.

Performance Dates:  Nov. 10-11, 7p.m.; Nov. 12, 3p.m. in Packard Concert Hall
Rehearsal Schedule:  TBD
Please prepare:  A 1.5-minute song or excerpt of a song that showcases your singing and storytelling abilities. Bring sheet music in the correct key, double-sided and in a 3-ring binder. Our music director will be playing piano for the auditions.

Peeping Tom Spotted Off Campus

Peeping Tom Off Campus

Over the last two weeks, Campus Safety has received notification of a person looking into windows at off-campus residences along Weber St. and Wahsatch Ave. The person has been described as a Caucasian male wearing all black clothing and a black, ski-style mask. Witnesses reported the suspect was bald when he removed the mask. 

If you observe suspicious activity or circumstances, call 911 and make a report to the Colorado Springs Police Department. If possible, have another person call campus safety at (719) 389-6911 at the same time.

Please remember these residential safety tips: 

  • Make sure your doors and windows are secure at night or when you aren’t home.
  • Maintain your situational awareness and report any suspicious activity, behavior, or circumstances to Colorado Springs Police Department by calling 911 and Campus Safety.
  • If you observe anyone attempting to enter a residence unlawfully, contact 911.
  • Check with your landlord for installation of motion lights or cameras in your off-campus housing.
  • Request your landlord cut back bushes and trees to leave clear paths around the residence.
  • Shut and secure gates to yards and the alley.

Campus Safety is available to complete an assessment of your off-campus residence at no cost to you. The program is called Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design. Safety suggestions can be provided to your landlord. To request an assessment, email campus safety at campussafety@coloradocollege.edu.

Welcome Back to Campus
Office of Sustainability

    Enhancing Educational Experiences within the Office of the Dean of the College

Welcome Back to Campus

Welcome to another exciting year for sustainability at CC! In the wake of COVID, the Office of Sustainability (OOS) is thrilled to see a renewed focus on the importance of sustainability at CC, finally with some sense of normalcy. Through our internship program and associated volunteer initiatives, students are leading by example, as evidenced by our hugely successful CC Pantry Exchange, our various recycling programs, compiled annual sustainability reports, and a lot more. However, while we celebrate our achievements, we’re also mindful of the pressing issues that demand our attention. Sustainability extends beyond the environment; a truth being witnessed on a global scale as well as within our campus community. While we make strides toward individual goals, we recognize the need for a comprehensive approach, both on our campus and globally.
So, as we begin another academic year, our work gets renewed purpose as we welcome the next class of sustainability leaders. It’s the prospect of effecting change – the opportunity to mentor, nurture, and learn from our students – that gives us the energy to start fresh each fall, knowing that as our students graduate and embark on their personal and professional journeys, their impact grows well beyond our campus. It is this “multiplier effect” that fuels the passion of our office – the knowledge that our efforts catalyze exponential change through our students. Their journey becomes our legacy. Here’s to another year of growth, learning, and transformative sustainability.
– Director of Sustainability, Ian Johnson

Next, the office also consists of six student-led teams: Administrative Assistants, CC Exchange, Communications, STARS, Emissions, and Waste Teams. Finally, that leaves us with one of our most vital members—the volunteers! Read more about how to become a student volunteer below.

College Move-In Success

Thank you to everyone who participated in last semester’s Ditch the Dumpster event. It was an enormous success! For those who are unaware, Ditch the Dumpster is a program organized by the OOS in partnership with Residential Experience, where students are encouraged to refrain from discarding unwanted belongings and instead donate new or gently used items, including clothing, dorm room items, food, and school supplies. Last year, CC collected thousands of pounds of donations during Ditch the Dumpster. Some of the items generously donated by students, were kept over summer in the CC Exchange and given out to students at the beginning of the year. The OOS partnered with International Student Orientation, and incoming international students had the opportunity to acquire essential items such as hangers, fans, desk lamps, binders, and more.
