Project 2024 Year Two

Dear CC Community,

As we begin the new academic year, I want to update you on Project 2024 and share with you our plans for Year Two. In Year One, we dedicated time to figuring out “what we hope to do.” In Year Two, we are focusing on “how we do it.”
Last year we also discussed challenges facing higher education now and in the near future. This year we’ll study their effects on CC and identify possible responses.

This is where you can find a summary of Year One and all updates and upcoming engagement opportunities.

We had a busy summer, with Year Two campus engagement beginning in June. Staff attended 13 sessions to delve deeper into aspects of the three areas for action outlined in the Year One Report:

  1. Learning in and beyond the classroom
  2. Structures and interactions
  3. Policies, programs, and norms

Also, in June, the college’s Board of Trustees discussed two aspects of the overarching “connection” theme: connecting students’ CC education to their post-graduate lives and finding ways the college can reinforce its connections to the city, region, country, and world.

Our summer engagement concluded in late August with Faculty Forum on Aug. 23 and Fall Conference on Aug. 25. The entire forum was devoted to the “learning in and beyond the classroom” area for action. Fall Conference discussion sessions touched on learning in/out of the classroom, resources, our people, structures, and observing limits. In all, nearly 300 members of the CC community participated in Project 2024 discussions this summer. Thank you for engaging in this process!

Summer engagement marked the start of the first phase of our plan for Year Two. There will be four phases in 2022-23:

  • Generating ideas
  • Identifying options to pursue
  • Consolidating options
  • Vetting and assessing options

The idea-generating phase began in June and will conclude by the end of September. Students are invited to participate in this phase by responding to a survey available now through the end of Block 1. Students, please check your email for information on how to participate.

Later this month, the Project 2024 Steering Committee will finalize the plan for phase two of Year Two, “identifying options” and will provide details on how members of the campus community may participate.

The Project 2024 work is guided by who we are and what we do and by our shared values.

We are a place of learning committed to supporting our students.

We provide a liberal arts education in a residential setting that builds community and promotes learning beyond the classroom using the Block Plan, which features small classes and an intensive one-course-at-a-time structure.

We value the health and well-being of the campus community, our work on antiracism, ensuring equity and access, protecting the environment, and providing clear, transparent, and effective communication.

Please check our website for ongoing updates and opportunities. I look forward to sharing more to come in Blocks 2 and 3.

Sincerely,


Susan Ashley

Professor of History and Project 2024 Coordinator

Submit Your Ideas to Rename South Hall
Members of the Colorado College community are invited to submit their ideas for the re-naming of South Hall.

South Hall was originally named after former Colorado College President William F. Slocum, who retired in 1917 in response to allegations of sexual misconduct.

After an investigation in Fall 2017, the CC Board of Trustees voted unanimously to rescind Slocum’s honorary degree and ordered the immediate removal of his name from the residence hall and commons building. The spaces were temporarily re-named “South Hall” and “South Commons.”

The South Hall Naming Committee, made up of CC students, staff, and alumni, has developed a timeline and process for collecting and thoroughly vetting name submissions.

This is an opportunity rename South Hall and honor someone who is more representative of Colorado College today and its institutional values.

CC community members are encouraged to submit their suggestions for the new name of South Hall. The committee will accept name submissions through the end of Fall Break, Sunday, Nov. 27.

Volunteer at the Office of Sustainability

Office Of Sutainibility
 Office of Sustainability
Enhancing Educational Experiences within the Office of the Dean of the College 

Welcome Back To Campus
ID: Woman of color in white pants and blue patterned top being hugged by small children and smiling, in a museum ID: woman of color wearing a black dress, red blazer, with shoulder length curly hair standing at a podium, looking at the camer and smiling, holding her hanf up as she is sworn into office by the man standing in regalia behind a podium to her right
To commence the academic year on a vibrant note, we want to share some words from Ian Johnson, director of the Office of Sustainability:  

“The swiftest hours, observed as they flew…” Shakespeare, in his eloquent style, noted, like many of us have, how quickly time passes by. Somehow, we’re approaching three years since Colorado College achieved its milestone of carbon neutrality and five years since we committed to becoming an antiracist institution. In that same time, nearly three years has passed that the world was irreparably altered by the COVID-19 pandemic. We still aren’t recovered, and things will never be the same, but we’re making good headway towards a new normal. The time sure does fly! 

I’m reminded of these ‘swiftest hours’ as I sit down again to write another welcome back edition of our newsletter. We’ve made it through an entire year again – already. In what seems like the blink of an eye, our new president has kicked off Project 2024 and has been inaugurated. During the inauguration of L. Song Richardson  as Colorado College’s 14th president, one of the banners on stage gave subtle insight into some of the initial progress of Project 2024,  by declaring that “We believe in our ability to help create a more just world by igniting the potential of our students.” In the simplest of terms, this is (I believe) largely the purpose of a liberal arts education and aligns impeccably with the framework we use in the Office of Sustainability. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) specifically outline the initial areas that would create a more sustainable – read: more just – world. 

This work continues even though we’ve reached major milestones. Even though CC continues to be ranked a top-ten institution in the world in multiple areas, we still have plenty of work to do, both to maintain our standing and to improve it. A lot of this progress has been drowned out by other major news stories brought on by the pandemic, severe weather events, insurrections, and more. But the fact is, CC has come to a long distance and has made great strides. We should celebrate those successes, but at the same time, we have even more work to do. The start of this academic year – though it has come with remarkable speed – marks another opportunity to continue our critically important work. I look forward to continuing our journey this year with our campus as we imagine ways to create a more just world.

CC Pantry Exchange

The Office of Sustainability and Campus Activities present the CC Pantry Exchange, where CC students can access free food and swap their used items in one space. The CC pantry provides free food items including fruits, vegetables, and staples to combat food insecurity on campus. The CC Exchange is a space where students can donate their used items and pick up new items as a way to reduce the number of items thrown into the landfill. Both of these spaces are located downstairs in Worner and are open between 2 and 4 p.m. on every Thursday of the block.
