Colorado College Mentoring Program

Dear Faculty Colleagues,

I appreciated hearing from many of you the desire to have a way for students to connect with an alum for ongoing mentorship.
After piloting a small program for the past two years, we have launched a Colorado College Mentoring program that is open to any student who would like to participate.
Students began registering Aug. 28 and registration will remain open through Oct. 1. As a part of the registration process, students are able to preference up to three mentor profiles. I am asking if you might please share the image below that contains information about the program with students.

Additionally, if you know alums who might be good mentors for students, we are happy to invite them to participate.  Please email their name and email address (if you have it) to Jacob Sanchez at jsanchez@coloradocollege.edu” style=”font-weight: normal;font-weight: normal;color: #7a6646;text-decoration: underline;color: #7a6646;text-decoration: underline”> jsachez@coloradocollege.edu and we will send them an invitation.

Many thanks,

Megan Nicklaus

The Peak has Launched!

CC Faculty and Staff!

It’s here! CC’s newest publication, The Peak, has officially launched!

In true, traditional CC fashion, we’re starting something new on Labor Day. Remember when that used to be the first day of the academic year? We’ve created this site for alumni and the whole CC community to stay up to date with campus news, read amazing alumni stories, and follow features that cover the greater community and world. We hope that you’ll find things here to entertain you, spark your interest, continue your quest for lifelong learning, and encourage you to reconnect with the special place that is CC.

So please, sit back, relax, and enjoy The Peak!

Cheers,


Megan Clancy ’07

Editor of The Peak

Generative AI / Artificial Intelligence

Generative AI

Generative AI

Dear Faculty and Staff,

Generative AI will be a topic of discussion and inquiry for years to come. To help support those conversations, both The Crown Center for Teaching and the Tutt Library have built resources to support faculty, students, and staff.
 
The Crown Center for Teaching: Artificial Intelligence
 
Dean of the Faculty, Dr. Emily Chan, has also provided the following statement:
 
The faculty, students, and staff of Colorado College are perfectly situated to wrestle with the implications of generative AI. We are a place where learning, research, innovation, ethics, and dialogue intersect. The experts in our interdisciplinary community can lead conversations and projects that interrogate and explore both the foundations and future of AI. As an institution that strives to foster the ethical creation of knowledge, we can rise to this challenge without trepidation and without acquiescing to the inertia of educational technology. We can ask the hard questions as we explore. Colorado College is made for this challenge and opportunity.”
 
Welcome back to the future.
 
Best,
Dustin
College Librarian
