Sitting in Community with You

Dear Students,


Like many of you, I have been processing the tragic losses our community has experienced over the last few months. Nothing about this is easy. Each of us will feel different emotions, and respond and cope in our own unique ways. At times like these, it is often difficult to know what to do or what to say. We can only do our best.

I’m writing to you today because I feel a strong desire to sit in community during this difficult time with anyone who would like to join me. We can sit together in silence or talk about whatever is on your mind. 

There is no agenda and no pressure to join me. However, if you would like to, I will be at Worner Campus Center tomorrow, Oct. 6, from 12-2 p.m. and from 4-6 p.m. in the lobby lounge by the piano. Feel free to stop by at any time, for however long you like.

As I said at the beginning of this year, I am at CC because of you. I hope to spend time with anyone who would like to stop by on Thursday.

Take good care,

L. Song Richardson
President

If you’re considering offering a remote course, contact Jim Burke for more information: jburke@coloradocollege.edu.

Off-campus summer course proposals should be submitted via Summit by Sunday, Oct. 9, and on-campus summer course proposals should be submitted via Summit by Monday, Oct. 17.
