Dear Faculty and Staff,
Thank you for starting the semester together at Spring Conference.
Nearly 200 of you gathered in Reid Arena to spend time with colleagues, share thoughtful ideas and discussions, and engage in big-picture planning for a busy 2024. I appreciate the energy and commitment you brought to our Project 2024 and leadership activities.

Congratulations to our award winners for your leadership, passion, and the impact you have made at CC. Kudos to all who were nominated, and many thanks to those who submitted and reviewed nominations.
At Spring Conference, I revisited our pillars, lenses, mission, and vision, as well as the CC motto: “Scientia et Disciplina,” which, for many years, the college has translated as, “Learning Through Hard Work.” Moving forward, you can find all of this at
coloradocollege.edu/whatwebelieve. Thank you for using this framework to guide your individual and team goal-setting and strategic planning.
Finally, if you could not attend Spring Conference or did not have your phone available to scan the Project 2024 QR code, we would still like your thoughts on the Big Challenge questions.

I appreciate all that you do for CC, and I’m grateful to work with such engaged faculty and staff.
Sincerely,
