Q & A with President L. Song Richardson

To help the CC community get to know the college’s 14th president, L. Song Richardson, before her inauguration Aug. 29, we asked her a few personal questions: 

On what occasion do you do a “happy dance?” 
After a fabulous meal. I appreciate good food whether high-end/Michelin star restaurants or hole in the wall places. I collect cookbooks and I love cooking elaborate recipes (i.e. complicated recipes with a lot of steps, although I don’t have much time to do so now!)
 
What does CC do best? 
Ignite our students’ potential.

What is your greatest fear?
Living a life without meaning.

Help us commemorate L. Song Richardson’s inauguration as the 14th president of Colorado College by watching the ceremony livestream on Monday, Aug. 29. Tune into coloradocollege.edu/inauguration at 8:45 a.m. MDT, or watch a recording after the event concludes. A limited number of tickets are also available for the event. Details and a full schedule are available here
