Register for the Work of the College Series Event: Mental Health and Wellness Webinar

Let’s talk about Mental Health and Wellness!

Make sure to register for the Mental Health and Wellness webinar on Friday, Sept. 15 from 1-2 p.m.

Last year, at the request of students, staff, and faculty, we committed to prioritizing mental health and wellness as essential to a thriving community. We joined the suicide prevention collaborative of El Paso County, ensured students had 24-hour access to diverse counselors through telehealth, asked all employees to participate in QPR suicide prevention training, committed to paying employees a living wage, partnered with Children’s Hospital to research student wellness, and so much more.

We are excited to share new understandings and promising next steps to ensure we continue to prioritize our collective wellness. Join us for the first event of the series with a community-wide Mental Health and Wellness webinar, led by divisional representatives and Rankin Climate, an external leader in institutional climate assessment.

Check out the schedule of events for this academic year on the Work of the College Series.

The Work of the College Series is a year-long program of events with four goals: (1) clarify organizational structures and decision-making processes; (2) offer campus constituencies the opportunity to dialogue with leadership about campus affairs; (3) increase decision-making transparency in hopes of building trust; and (4) build community.

The Work of the College Series consists of:

  • Community Conversations (dialogue about specific topics)
  • Roadshows (presentations and Q&As)
  • Board of Trustees Town Halls (informational updates)

Student Employee Wage Increase

Student Employees are Getting a Raise!

As of this month, student employees will see an increase in their paychecks. The hourly wage has increased by $0.66 per hour, resulting in new rates of $14.31 per hour for students in Step 1 positions, and $14.71 per hour for those in Step 2 positions. It has been determined that with this adjustment in pay, on average, a CC student can fulfill their entire work-study award by working approximately six hours per week throughout the academic year.

Departments with student employment position codes that paid wages last year have been allocated an increase to their position code’s budget to help offset the additional expense. This increase aims to help counterbalance the additional expenses incurred. For specifics on how this budget augmentation was calculated, or any other questions, please contact Student Employment at studentemployment@coloradocollege.edu” style=”font-weight: normal;font-weight: normal;color: #7a6646;text-decoration: underline;color: #7a6646;text-decoration: underline”> studentemployment@coloradocollege.edu.

Faculty Advisee Assignment Announcement
Good Morning,

I hope you are well. I write regarding general advising assignments for Fall.

I am pleased to report that I have finalized incoming student advisee assignments and uploaded them to Banner.

Based on the current advising numbers across the college, and with the goal of establishing equitable distribution of general advisees over the next two years, I established the following distribution:

Faculty with 0-7 returning advisees will receive 6 new general advisees

Faculty with 8-9 returning advisees will receive 5 new general advisees

Faculty with 10-12 returning advisees will receive 4 new general advisees

Faculty with 13-15 returning advisees will receive 3 new general advisees

Faculty with 16 returning advisees will receive 2 new general advisees

Faculty with more than 18 returning advisees will not receive any new general advisees, unless they have volunteered to advise a special group (eg. An athletic team)

Please note that Dean Chan clarified the following:

Faculty due to take sabbatical in Spring 2024 will receive new general advisees this Fall. While the faculty members are on sabbatical, their general advisees will receive support from their Hub advisors

Department chair and co-chair status do not preclude general advising

Phased retirement does not preclude general advising

If you have been assigned new, incoming student advisees there is nothing you need to do at this time. Incoming students have already pre-registered for Fall classes (blocks 1-4) and have been assigned an initial schedule, which includes their CC100 & CC120.

Once block 1 begins, your new, general advisees will have your information, and they may contact you. You are, of course, welcome to begin working with them immediately, but this is up to your interest and availability. We do ask, however, for you to contact your new, general advisees no later than the end of block 2, since preregistration will begin in block 3.

If you have any questions about this process, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am happy to answer any questions that you have.

Thank you,
