Save the Date for Block 7 First Mondays

A Campus Pause

A Campus Pause

Come together as a campus community to start Block 7 with a “campus pause.”


On Monday, March 28, the campus community will use the time reserved for First Mondays programming to pause, inviting students, staff, and faculty to dedicate time to their own mental health.
Classes will dismiss early, as on the first Monday of every block, so that all may participate. From 11:15 a.m.-noon, the CC community will observe a united pause: no classes, no meetings; an opportunity for a break from busyness to take care of yourself.
While taking this time out on the first Monday of the block is not enough time to address the complexity of mutual care during this pandemic, the hope is that this is the first of many collective pauses for the campus community, and will spark a continued conversation about finding long-term solutions to combating the sense of urgency that many students, staff, and faculty feel on the Block Plan. 

The First Mondays Event Series is a campus-wide forum that aims to engage all members of the CC community, including students, staff, administrators, and faculty. The series creates opportunities for the whole community to gather, encouraging everyone to be part of the intellectual life of the college, and facilitating discourse among students, faculty, and staff, across courses, disciplines, and divisions. Classes are dismissed early on the first Monday of each block so that all may attend the First Mondays event.
