Join us on Thursday, April 25, from 6:00-7:15 p.m. in Celeste Theatre as the Timothy C. Linneman Memorial Lecture on the Environment presents Ramón Cruz and “The Movement for Climate Justice: Recent Successes, Threats, and Urgency”.

Recently, the sustainability and environmental justice movements have achieved major successes that have been decades in the making: the Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement, Justice 40 Initiative, the Inflation Reduction Act. Still, the future has never been as gloomy as it is today. We are at a defining moment to overcome the present challenges and step up our fight to meet the greatest threat humanity has ever faced. Ramón Cruz will be sharing his views on these events as a participant in civil society organizations and as the former president of the Sierra Club, the nation’s largest and oldest environmental organization.

Add to your calendar.

Join our resident cabaret artist and FAC Theatre Company Music Director, J. Chang-Tablada on Friday, April 19, 5:30 p.m. to hear songs from Rent and learn more about the incredible impact that Jonathan Larson made on the American musical theatre landscape.

Larson lived in poverty, waited tables, and worked seven years to bring his rock opera Rent to the stage — only to collapse and die the night before previews were to open at the Off-Broadway New York Theater Workshop. Rent became an enormous success and achieved Larson’s ambition of updating musical theater and making it relevant to younger audiences.

New at the FAC!

CC faculty and staff can enjoy buy one, get one free drinks in Deco Lounge every Friday from 4:30-5:30 p.m.! Just show your Gold Card to the bartender. Generously sponsored by Bon Appetit.

TRY USING AN ADEI TIP OF THE MONTH…

Dismantling systems of oppression requires creative and diverse approaches (There is more than one tool in the toolbelt). Fighting for justice does not always look the same. The fact that we don’t all approach a fight the same way does not mean we aren’t all working toward the same goal. It just means that we may have a different way of getting there. Be careful not to judge and generalize the actions of others because they do not meet a predefined standard of action; consider that it is the standard itself that perpetuates white supremacy culture serving as a measure to shift oppression. This enemyfying becomes a catalyst to divide and conquer, diverting our attention from the real issue by capitalizing on separating us. Togetherness leads to the advancement and justice we are all seeking to achieve. 
ADEI in Action!
The Native American Student Union (NASU) and Native and Indigenous community leaders organized another successful CC PowWow. This event was filled with vendors, dancers, and influential Native and Indigenous peoples and allies, many of whom traveled far and wide to support and be in spiritual community with one another. 

Goodbyes Are Never Easy…


Dear CC Community,

I want to share that I am starting a new position as Associate Dean of Faculty at Williams College in early June. While this move is welcome for professional and personal reasons, I am sad to be leaving CC and Colorado Springs.

My last day will be May 1st.

Thank you: 
  • For the opportunity to work for a PWI liberal arts college that knows what it means to commit to antiracism, diversity, equity, and inclusion,
  • For the relationships, connections, and friendships, and
  • For the growth-enhancing challenges.
My own ADEI lens has expanded exponentially as I have worked alongside you to change and transform Colorado College.  As you continue this work, please keep the sentiments of these two quotes in mind:  

“Learning. . . is not linear, and meaningful learning resists being quantified”. (Jesse Stommel in Undoing the Grade). 
“Pedagogical strategies can determine the extent to which all students learn to engage more fully the ideas and issues that seem to have no direct relation to their experience”. (bell hooks in Teaching to Transgress). 
 
Please remember that our relationships and connections live on even if I am not in Colorado and no longer work for CC.  I am always only an email or Zoom call away and hearing from you is always welcome: fhagenp@gmail.com.

Warm regards, 

Peony
