Did You Know CC Has Anonymous Reporting?
To build and nurture a thriving community, workplaces need a foundation of trust and safety. Anonymous reporting allows employees and students to bring forth issues confidentially and without fear of retaliation. When workplace concerns are brought forth earlier, problems often can be solved before they become bigger.
In February, we announced our partnership with OneTrust to develop our 24-hour, anonymous reporting platform, Speak Up Colorado College. You can confidentially and anonymously submit your questions and concerns using this platform. Use Speak Up Colorado College to speak up, share your perspective, ask challenging questions, and raise concerns about behaviors that conflict with the college’s values without fear of retaliation. This is all done while protecting individuals who bring concerns forward. To make a report at any time, go to speakup.coloradocollege.edu or call toll free (800) 461-9330.

After submission, you can follow the status and anonymously communicate with the college through the platform about your report. CC recognizes that sometimes it takes a lot of courage to speak up. Any information you provide to Speak Up Colorado College is stored privately and securely and will be treated with sensitivity and respect.

Reach out to Lyrae Williams, lwilliams@coloradocollege.edu, with any questions or concerns.

Progress Together
Dear colleagues,

In the Spring 2021 Faculty Survey seeking feedback on how to better support your efforts to seek and obtain external funding (part of a self-study), several faculty shared that they would appreciate the College supporting them in having structured time to make progress on grants.

As a first step in this direction, I would like to learn more about any goals you may have related to grant or fellowship activity this summer. Whether you just want to dip your toe in the process, or you have larger goals for the summer, please let me know about your goals and interests so that I can best support you.

Second, I would like to invite you to join others in the grants community this summer as we make progress together toward our individual goals. I invite you to take advantage of the following opportunities offered throughout the summer:

Independent work time in Cossitt Faculty Lounge with informal lunch conversation on scholarly & creative goals on Tuesdays throughout the summer

Brief virtual presentations on a variety of themes (such as identifying funders, elements of proposal development) to be followed by independent work time

Discipline-based virtual discussions based on prior reading or webinar viewing

Learn more and sign up here!

And if you are fairly new to the grants and fellowships process, I’ve included information on the services I provide and the benefits of grants work in a new “introduction” section on my home page.

I’m looking forward to seeing you this summer!

Best,
Tess

Join the Inner Circle

There is no better way to become competitive for external funding than by serving as a grant reviewer – ideally the same funder you aim to approach one day. Many funders are looking for reviewers – from different career stages, disciplines, institution types and geographic regions – and generally it is not expected that you will have already been a successful grant receipient. Learn how you could serve as a reviewer for eight funders. Through this work, you will develop an understanding of a funder’s review process and meet colleagues in your field. Colorado College recognizes the value of this work by supporting it with a $1000 stipend through the SEGway program. Please reach out to Tess for more information.

Participate in Diplomacy Lab

As noted in a Fall Gold Mine issue, Colorado College joined a network of ~45 colleges and universities in the Department of State’s Diplomacy Lab program.

“Students participating in Diplomacy Lab explore real-world challenges identified by the Department and work under the guidance of faculty members… This initiative allows students to contribute directly to the policymaking process while helping the State Department tap into an underutilized reservoir of intellectual capital.”

There will be two deadlines each year by which brief 200-word “bids” are submitted to the Department of State. The next deadline for participating is April 13th for research projects to be conducted in Fall 2023. We invite CC faculty to learn more.

Rule of Thumb

If you are interested in exploring external funding opportunities, it’s best if we can connect at least two years before you anticipate needing the funding. This gives us time to identify the best funders, prepare an application (many programs have only one deadline per year), and wait several months to hear back. ~ Tess

Don’t Forget: Dismantling Hate with Loretta Ross Wednesday April 12

TOMORROW: Join Loretta Ross for a talk on reproductive justice as human rights.

Reproductive justice moves beyond choice and access to abortion. The term was coined by Ross and other African American women in 1994, following the International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo, Egypt. It is a broader term that uses a human rights framework and looks at reproductive oppression, sterilization abuse, immigration restrictions, gun culture, rape culture, the prison-to-school pipeline, and more.
Ross, an award-winning, nationally-recognized expert on racism and racial justice, women’s rights, and human rights, will be presenting on all aspects of reproductive justice, which is becoming the primary framework new voices in the movement are using to move beyond the paralyzing debates of abortion politics.
Ross is a 2022 MacArthur Fellow and associate professor at Smith College (Northampton, MA) in the Program for the Study of Women and Gender.
Wednesday, April 12
7-8:30 p.m. MDT
Register for this virtual event.

Dismantling Hate: An Educational Series Toward Understanding and Action is a campus-wide initiative that provides programming for Colorado College students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents and families, and community members from the Colorado Springs area.  Now in its second year, the purpose and goal of this educational series is to support our communities to better understand hate — its roots and outcomes, and to motivate people to take action to dismantle hate.  Each educational program in the series features a conversation with an activist, broadly defined, who shares their work and experience dismantling hate against marginalized communities.
