Block 6: Antiracist Book Club (ABC) Book and Event

You’re invited to read and discuss the third       Antiracist Book Club selection for the 2022-23 academic year.  

The Block 6 reading will be “Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot” by Mikki Kendalls. Today’s feminist movement has a glaring blind spot, and paradoxically, it is women. Mainstream feminists rarely talk about meeting basic needs as a feminist issue, argues Mikki Kendall, but food insecurity, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. All too often, however, the focus is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few. That feminists refuse to prioritize these issues has only exacerbated the age-old problem of both internecine discord and women who rebuff at carrying the title. Moreover, prominent white feminists broadly suffer from their own myopia with regard to how things like race, class, sexual orientation, and ability intersect with gender. How can we stand in solidarity as a movement, Kendall asks, when there is the distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others?

In her searing collection of essays, Mikki Kendall takes aim at the legitimacy of the modern feminist movement, arguing that it has chronically failed to address the needs of all but a few women. Drawing on her own experiences with hunger, violence, and hypersexualization, along with incisive commentary on reproductive rights, politics, pop culture, the stigma of mental health, and more, Hood Feminism delivers an irrefutable indictment of a movement in flux. An unforgettable debut, Kendall has written a ferocious clarion call to all would-be feminists to live out the true mandate of the movement in thought and in deed.

All books are provided free of charge with your CC Gold Card, and are available for pick-up now at the CC Bookstore in the Yalich Student Services building. Be sure to fill out this registration form prior to pick-up.

Please be aware that this book contains sensitive content including racism and suicide.

The ABC is meant to be self-led and asynchronous. We encourage you to create space to discuss these books and their topics in the communities you already inhabit (e.g., department meetings, athletics teams, student clubs/organizations, etc.) and at your own pace. 

Happy reading!

We are Hiring!
Office of Sustainability

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

We are Hiring!

Are you interested in working for the Office of Sustainability next year? The OOS will be hiring positions on six teams next year: Administrative Assistants, CC Exchange, STARS, Emissions, Waste, and Communications. Along with individual duties for each team, student employees are asked to lead a volunteer team, attend weekly one-hour team meetings, meet with the Sustainability Coordinator once a block, and engage with the Campus Sustainability Council. Handshake positions will open on March 20 at 8 a.m. and will close on April 16 at 11:59 p.m. The Career Center is a great resource to get your resume and cover letter ready because your opportunity to apply is approaching fast! Have any questions or comments? Please reach out to our Sustainability Coordinator Mae Rohrbach at mrohrbach@coloradocollege.edu with any questions or comments.

Spring Revival
 
Last block, the Office of Sustainability organized Spring Revival for the entire office. The event was in partnership with FAC’s Bemis School of Art. Students were encouraged to take a break from their busy schedules and indulge in a painting activity alongside their peers, tying together sustainability, art, and wellness. The Bemis School of Art graciously provided students with painting supplies as well as the instructor’s help for guidance throughout the session. The event was a wonderful place for the office to interact with each other, and OOS staff while enjoying yummy pastries and coffee!

E-Waste Block 6 Drop-Off Event


Do you have electronic waste you want to dispose of? Well, the CC Office of Sustainability has a solution for you! We recycle electronic waste. These are items that are no longer working, unwanted, or at the end of their life. Through E-Tech Recyclers, a local Colorado Springs e-waste business, these materials are safely and responsibly recycled. Acceptable and commonly recycled items include TVs, monitors, keyboards, cables, appliances, digital media players, cell phones, and other items. Please note we cannot recycle alkaline batteries, which include most household batteries, like Duracell, Energizer, and others.
 
Students who can transport their own items are invited to drop off items at Breton Hall Garage 8 on Friday, March 10 from 1:30-2:30 p.m. Please refer to the map below to locate the Breton Hall Garages (the northwest corner of parking lot C-1). Staff will be there to help you unload your items! Faculty and staff who cannot attend this event can fill out this request form for a pick-up, and a representative will be in touch with you about your request within three business days.

*Please note that if your items are both college-issued AND contain a hard drive (laptops, computers, etc.), you must reach out to ITS for them to wipe this hard drive before recycling. Additionally, a pickup option is available ONLY for office/departmental requests. For any personal requests from CC community members, drop-off at the e-waste garage is the only option.*

Sustainable Wednesdays Update
Created by our Campus Programming Team as a way to educate and encourage sustainable practices among the CC Community, Sustainable Wednesdays continues to see a great turnout. “Sustainable Wednesdays has given me an excellent opportunity to connect with the CC community and engage people in knowing more about sustainability through pop-up events. Campus Programming Team members design fun activities, which address sustainability from a variety of perspectives, from food waste trivia quizzes and freestyle doodling about the environment to mental health activities. There are more activities coming up in the next blocks, so stop by, have fun, and get environmentally friendly gifts from us,” says Campus Programming Team member Tam Phan ’25. Make sure to follow the OOS on Instagram to find out when our next Sustainable Wednesdays event will take place.

Campus Sustainability Council

Campus Sustainability Council has been revived by President Richardson for this academic year. One of the council’s main ambitions during this semester is to come up with a recommendation for Colorado College’s institutional goals regarding sustainability. The council comprises of nine members from different departments on campus: 
  • Ersaleen Hope, Assistant Vice President for Staff Equity and Inclusion
  • George Eckhardt, Campus Planner, Facilities Services
  • Ian Johnson, Director of the Office of Sustainability
  • Katharina Groves, Director, Applications & Security, Office of Information Technology
  • Mae Rohrbach, Coordinator at the Office of Sustainability
  • Mahnoor Rehman ‘24, Student Representative
  • Michael Brubaker, Campus Operations and Plant Manager, Facilities Services
  • Molly Hadley, Assistant Director at the Wellness Resource Center
  • Nic Johnson, Director, Facilities Services

Make Your Next Event Green

Interested in hosting a group event that is not only sustainable but also responsible? Here are some key guidelines for “green” events:
  • It is important to be socially responsible by providing accommodations for different cultures, religions, and backgrounds. This includes finding vegetarian and vegan options for food and further providing necessary accessibility resources for attendees.
  • Moreover, to be environmentally friendly, try to avoid single-use and pre-wrapped products when eating or drinking. When it comes to waste management, begin by reducing your use of paper flyers or posters and opt for digital marketing instead.
  • Make sure to offer sustainable transportation alternatives such as the free ZEB Shuttle, if applicable, so you can either subsidize or offset your carbon footprint. Lastly, find a location for the event that maximizes the daylight hours instead of having to rely on energy sources.
  • By sticking to these guidelines, we can enjoy ourselves while also considering how our individual actions have larger social and environmental implications.
For more detailed guidelines, please visit our Green Event Webpage. 

Coming Soon…Earth Week 2023

Are you ready for Earth Week 2023 at Colorado College? While Earth Day is generally recognized all around the country, here at Colorado College, Earth Day lasts all week. More than one day is needed to properly honor and appreciate our beautiful planet. During the third week of Block 7, the OOS, along with other on-campus partners, will be hosting events throughout the week to engage the community around various sustainability-focused themes. At the core of Earth Week is a campus-wide movement to increase our awareness and consciousness surrounding how we engage with the earth. Earth Week is an opportunity to celebrate the earth in ways you might not otherwise, and we highly encourage participation throughout the week.
If you have an event for Earth Week that you are planning as part of a student organization, office, or department, please reach out to the OOS at sustainability@coloradocollege.edu for marketing purposes.

Accessibility Resources Survey—Your Input is Requested!
Dear Faculty Member:

The Office of Accessibility Resources celebrates access, equity, and inclusion—elements of a strong liberal arts education that are embraced by Colorado College. Appreciating that disability is integral to the diversity of our campus, we partner with students, faculty, and staff to create a community that welcomes and encourages the full participation of people with disabilities in all aspects of the life of the college.
In an ongoing effort to ensure excellence in Accessibility Resource’s practices and services, our staff asks that you—an important partner in supporting students with disabilities—take a few moments to provide input regarding our work by completing a short online survey. The survey will likely take less than 10 minutes to complete.

The purpose of the survey is to gather information relevant to the evaluation of the Office of Accessibility Resources from a faculty perspective. We truly value your thoughts and will make a good faith effort to address concerns and opportunities.

Your participation in this survey is entirely voluntary, and you may exit the online survey at any time and for any reason.
