Hockey Season is Starting – Get Your Tickets!

Dear CC Students,

Hockey season is right around the corner, and we are thrilled to offer free tickets to full-time CC students.  This will be the second season at the incredible Ed Robson Arena, and we hope you pack the student section at the east end of the arena to show your Tiger Pride.

When will tickets be available?

The first home games are Friday, Oct. 7, and Saturday, Oct. 8, when your Tigers host Alaska Anchorage.  Tickets for the games will be available starting on Monday, Oct. 3, at 8 a.m.
Student tickets will be available every home game week starting Mondays at 8 a.m. and ending Wednesdays at 1 p.m.

How many tickets are available?

Each full-time CC student has the opportunity to claim one free ticket for each home game. We have increased student tickets to over 400 for this season in the student sections per game. Tickets will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Because tickets are limited, we ask that if you do claim your ticket, you join us for the game.

How do you claim your tickets?

We have a fully automated process that is all handled on your smartphone. All full-time students now have a personalized Ticketmaster account. To access that account, all you need is your CC email address and your smartphone. 

Access your personal account through Ticketmaster:

  1. In your phone’s web browser, go to https://am.ticketmaster.com/coloradocollege.
  2. Click the sign-in icon at the top right and input your CC email address as your username. Unless you already have a Ticketmaster account with that email, click on “Forgot Password” and follow the steps to set up a new password. 
  3. Once you are logged in, click on “Students” in the top left menu or “Colorado College Students” at the bottom of the page. 
  4. You’ve now arrived at your personalized student account page where you can claim your game ticket.

Make sure you keep checking your account and follow the weekly countdowns that lead up to the opening of the window to claim your ticket(s).

Student Entrance at Ed Robson Arena:

CC Students have their own dedicated entrance at the corner of Cache La Poudre and Nevada. You will need your Gold Card as well as your game ticket on your phone to enter the arena. 

Student Section at Ed Robson Arena:

The student section at Robson Arena are the chairback seats in Sections 110 and 111, and the Standing Room Area at the top of Sections 110 and 111.
We also reserve a number of seats in Section 109, that are closest to Section 110, for CC students.  (We will mark the student section seats in Section 109).

These sections are on the east end of the Arena, so you will see the CC Tigers score for 2 periods, and you can make sure the opposing goalie enjoys his time at CC.

Doors open one-hour prior to puck drop.  For all games except Dec. 30-31, doors will open at 6:30 p.m. on Fridays and 5 p.m. on Saturdays.

If you want to sit near the glass, we recommend you arrive early.

Note:  During college breaks and block breaks, we reserve Section 110 for CC students.

Timely Warning: Wanted Person Commiting Crimes Around Campus

Campus Safety has received information on a wanted person who has committed crimes in and around the campus community.

On September 29, 2022, just before 9 p.m., a person entered the private yard of an off-campus house wearing a winter ski mask. When Campus Safety arrived, the person fled on foot. The suspect has potentially been identified as Andrew Browning, a 33-year-old Caucasian male with very close shaved brown hair and brown eyes, and a large tattoo on his right forearm. Mr. Browning is described as 5 feet 11 inches tall. He was last known to drive a red Toyota Forerunner with a Colorado license plate. Mr. Browning currently has a felony warrant for his arrest.  

If you see Mr. Browning, do not approach him, call 911. Campus Safety has increased patrols in the area and is actively working with the Colorado Springs Police Department. In addition, extra duty police officers have been hired by the campus.

If you are a victim of any crime, please report it immediately. If you have any information regarding these recent crimes, please contact Campus Safety at (719) 389-6707, or CSPD non-emergency at (719) 444-7000, or make an anonymous report through Crime Stoppers at (719) 634-STOP (719) 634-7867.

We want to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to take an active role in your safety and that of your community by:

  • Making sure all exterior doors and windows have working locks and locking your doors and windows.
  • Installing window chocks that limit how far a window can be opened.
  • Installing peep holes in doors so you know who is at the door before you open it.
  • Making your patio doors harder to break into by placing a pipe or metal bar in the middle bottom track of the door slide. The pipe and track should be the same length.
  • Installing motion-activated exterior lights.
This information is being released in compliance with the federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. Timely warnings are issued to provide information about a potentially dangerous situation at or near Colorado College and to provide our students and employees with the information necessary to make decisions or take appropriate actions to ensure their safety.

Untold Stories: Frieda Ekotto

Frieda Ekotto ’86 was the first African woman to graduate from Colorado College. She is an intellectual force in French and Francophone studies; a renowned novelist; and a literary critic. She heads the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies at the University of Michigan, and she speaks and has published in four different languages. But it wasn’t always this way.

Ekotto, who was born in Cameroon and grew up in Switzerland, was a citizen of the world by her late teens. She moved from Europe to the U.S. to attend high school as a nontraditional student, where she meant to learn English. But her studies weren’t going well and she felt lost. Then, while skiing, she met two CC professors — Harvey and Marcelle Rabbin — who asked her to apply to Colorado College. They helped her with the application to earn a fellowship, and Ekotto enrolled in classes in 1983.

When she began her career at CC, she faced a deep and abiding challenge: to learn English fast enough to keep up with her coursework. She says it was Harvey and Marcelle who helped her to stay the course. The Rabbins took her under their wing, treating her like a surrogate daughter. Marcelle, who was born in France, taught Ekotto in both French and English.

After graduating, Ekotto went on to earn a Ph.D. in French and comparative literature from the University of Minnesota. She then began teaching at the University of Michigan. Throughout a storied career spanning academic and creative works, she has never left the university. In 2014, she became the first African woman to lead the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies, and was awarded a Collegiate Professorship, one of the highest faculty honors given by the university. Today, as she teaches students, Ekotto passes on Harvey’s most important lesson. She asks them to find their own voice: their contribution to the discourse, and their unique ability to create a better and more peaceful world.
