Friday is the Deadline to Claim Your Commencement Tickets!

Graduating seniors, don’t forget to claim and transfer your Commencement guest tickets by Friday!

Seniors in the Class of 2023: We can’t wait to celebrate Commencement with you and your loved ones next weekend. This is a reminder that Friday, May 19, is the deadline to claim guest tickets for Commencement and Baccalaureate. After claiming tickets, please remember to transfer those tickets to your guests on Ticketmaster, so that they can successfully enter the venues for each ceremony.
Also, please remember to attend the mandatory Commencement rehearsal on Friday, May 26, at 11 a.m. Meet on the north side of Ed Robson Arena. All graduates are required to attend rehearsal in order to walk in Sunday’s ceremony. You do not need to wear your regalia (cap and gown) to rehearsal, but you must pick up your cap and gown from the CC Bookstore by 3 p.m. that Friday, May 26.
Stick around after the Commencement rehearsal for an optional Senior BBQ hosted by the annual giving and alumni offices! Enjoy lunch from 12:15-1:30 p.m. on the concourse level of Ed Robson Arena.

Ticket Details


As a reminder, graduates can claim up to seven guest tickets (five seated, two standing room) for Commencement, and up to two guest tickets for Baccalaureate in Shove Chapel (with overflow tickets in Kathryn Mohrman Theatre) at am.ticketmaster.com/coloradocollege. After claiming tickets, follow these instructions to transfer them to your guests:

Instructions for graduates to transfer tickets:

  1. Log in with your CC email address to the CC Ticketmaster website: ticketmaster.com/coloradocollege
  2. Click on the “My Events” tab.
  3. Click the “Transfer” button.
  4. Enter the email address of the person(s) to receive tickets.

After you transfer tickets, your guests must complete the following steps:

  1. Guests will receive an email from Ticketmaster notifying them of the transferred tickets.
  2. They must then click on the “Claim Tickets” button.
  3. Guests will need to create an account on the CC Ticketmaster website (ticketmaster.com/coloradocollege; link also included in transfer email).
  4. After creating an account, guests will be able to visit ticketmaster.com/coloradocollege from their phones and pull up the bar code, which is required for entry into Shove Chapel and Ed Robson Arena for the ceremonies. Please do not use the main Ticketmaster phone app, as CC Ticketmaster is a different system.

A few final notes:

  • One guest may hold tickets for multiple people, as long as they enter the venue at the same time. However, only the individuals to whom you directly transferred tickets will receive next week’s important “Know Before You Go” message, which is specific to Ed Robson Arena.
  • Students must claim their needed number of guest tickets in one transaction on Ticketmaster (you cannot go back and claim more tickets at a later time).
  • There is no waitlist for students and families who wish to claim more than the allotted number of free guest tickets. Instead, please connect with other students who do not plan to use all of their allotted tickets, and ask them to directly transfer their extra tickets to you or your guests via Ticketmaster.

Remember to visit coloradocollege.edu/commencement for all Commencement weekend details, including a complete schedule of events, parking and venue information, and more.

2023-2024 Common Read Announcement
The Office of Academic Programs is excited to announce that the 2022-23 Colorado College Common Read book is The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Togetherby Heather McGhee.   
In this griping text, McGhee embarks on a deeply personal journey across the United States from Maine to Mississippi to California, tallying what we lose when we buy into the zero-sum paradigm—the idea that progress for some of us must come at the expense of others. This is the story of how public goods in this country—from parks and pools to functioning schools—have become private luxuries; of how unions collapsed, wages stagnated, and inequality increased; and of how this country, unique among the world’s advanced economies, has thwarted universal healthcare. In unlikely places of worship and work, McGhee finds proof of what she calls the Solidarity Dividend: the benefits we gain when people come together across race to accomplish what we simply can’t do on our own. The Sum of Us is not only a brilliant analysis of how we arrived here but also a heartfelt message, delivered with startling empathy, from a Black woman to a multiracial America. It leaves us with a new vision for a future in which we finally realize that life can be more than a zero-sum game.   

You can learn more about the text through the Tutt Library LibGuide. If you are a member of a department, program, or office hosting programming related to the Common Read and would like your event added to the website, please contact Brett Gray, student support specialist in the Office of Academic Programs: bgray@coloradocollege.edu” style=”font-weight: normal;font-weight: normal;color: #7a6646;text-decoration: underline;color: #7a6646;text-decoration: underline”> bgray@coloradocollege.edu.

Stay Involved this Summer
As we end the 2022-2023 academic year, we pause to celebrate the ways in which our campus has created community impact this year, and the ways we have learned and grown through that work.  In this newsletter, we recognize the outstanding efforts of Community Engagement Recognition Night Awardees. We also celebrate the seniors who are reflecting on how they’ve made a difference during their CC journeys, and are about to begin new chapters in their lives.  

In addition to recognizing these individuals, we honor their ongoing, collective work that is not in the limelight. Through the infographic below, we aim to capture the scope and breadth of community engagement efforts at Colorado College, as well as the behind-the-scenes work of the CCE.  You’ll see some highlights of how the CCE builds and sustains an engaged culture through inspiring, advocating, connecting, training and informing. We move others to action, build people power, fill gaps when needed, step back when work is thriving, and uplift good work.   

We celebrate the work to elevate the work, in an effort to inspire and energize all of us to continue. As always, the work continues.  Onward! 

Congratulations CERN Awardees!

We are proud of all our awardees and nominees for Community Engaged Recognition Night awards. Our community of students, staff, faculty, and community partners continue to inspire action and change. Cheers to another year of creating impact together!

Senior Highlights

As we wrap up the year we take some time to look back with our graduating seniors on the impact they created and how they were impacted through community engagement while at Colorado College.

Congratulations Class of 2023!

What’s next for our CCE seniors? Here is a sample of what engaged students plan to do after CC:
  • AmeriCorps NCCC
  • Watson Fellowship
  • Arts Fulbright in Brazil
  • Japanese Exchange and Teaching Program (JET)
  • Exploring journalism positions in Arizona
  • Conduct research at the National Institute of Health – Bethesda
  • University of Florida graduate school
  • Preparing for med school applications 
We know that their community engaged experiences at CC have made a huge impact on the change they want to make in the world. We wish all of our graduating seniors luck in whatever comes next. May you continue to make change and be changed!
