Important Announcement: Upgrade to Banner 9 by 2024

ITS Service Catalogs
Dear Campus Community, 

We are excited to announce a significant technological upgrade that will positively impact our entire campus. In our continuous efforts to enhance efficiency and streamline operations, we will be upgrading to Banner 9, a modern and robust enterprise resource planning system, by early 2024. 

Banner 9 is not a drastic change from its previous version, but we will be introducing a fresh new look and other exciting features to increase efficiency on campus.

We have established a dedicated project team that is overseeing the implementation process, including training sessions for faculty and staff. This team has already started the process so that we can get Banner 9 out to general campus as soon as possible. We understand that this upgrade may require adjustments, and we are committed to providing the necessary resources and support to help everyone adapt to the new system seamlessly. 

Over the coming months, you will receive further communications regarding training schedules, support channels, and other essential details related to this upgrade. We encourage all members of our campus community to actively participate in the training sessions to maximize the benefits of Banner 9. 

We are confident that this will greatly enhance our capabilities and improve our overall effectiveness. We appreciate your cooperation and patience during this transition period, and we look forward to the positive changes that Banner 9 will bring to our college campus. 
Thank you for your continued support as we work together to ensure a successful transition to this updated system.

‘O tempora! O mores!’: Mediaeval Apocalypticism and Beyond
The Through a Glass Darkly Symposium will take place Oct. 12-14 and, for the first time, will be co-hosted by Colorado College and the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. The study of humankind’s fascination with the apocalyptic worldview is a vast field. It is a subject that spans cultures, religions, time, and space, and one that resists easy categorical definition. In Through a Glass Darkly, scholars and artists gather each year to deliver presentations and engage in dialogue. This year’s conference organizers from CC are Carol Neel and Regula Evitt. LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM »

Last spring, Charlotte Combe ’26 and Mona Hamad ’25 founded Substance Use Harm Reduction at Colorado College with three goals in mind: to provide a small and consistent group of club members to train for and volunteer at the community partner’s syringe exchange program; to provide opportunities for CC students to learn about harm reduction and overdose prevention on campus through workshops, events, and the creation of education resources; and to organize for harm reduction advocacy at the city and state level through phone banking, writing legislators, and testifying in support of bills. READ THE FULL STORY »

Local Middle School Students Experience Outdoors with CC Student Organization

By Julia Fennell ’21
Colorado College Learning Initiative in the Mountains (CCLIM) partnered with West Middle School and Jack Swigert Aerospace Academy (JSAA) to give local middle school students the opportunity to build self-esteem and learn environmental respect through an outdoor education program. Once a week, 10 CC students meet with about 15 Jack Swigert Aerospace Academy middle school students to learn about the outdoors, spend time outside, and make connections with each other. The middle school students tend to be the same each week, which helps CC students form tighter connections with them. READ THE FULL STORY »

 

Indigenous Peoples’ Day: Monday, Oct. 9
Picture of a poster that is rust and tan and orange with a headline in a black box that says,
Since 1991, dozens of cities, states, and universities have adopted Indigenous Peoples’ Day to replace the observance formerly known as Columbus Day. Indigenous Peoples’ Day celebrates the history and contributions of Native Americans. Activists have long argued that holidays, statues, and other memorials to Columbus condone his actions while giving him credit for discovering a place where people already lived. Indigenous Peoples’ Day offers a fresh focus to history in our society and in schools, where many textbooks leave out Native Americans or sanitize white colonizer’s treatment of them. Across the country, many communities come together to celebrate this day. Looking for a way to participate off-campus? Check out these events in Manitou Springs. On this day, and every other, CC recognizes and celebrates the great contributions of Indigenous Peoples both in our region and throughout our country.

 

October Month Observances
German American Heritage Month: In October 1683 German families began settling in Pennsylvania. Since then, German Americans have contributed greatly to our society. The first proclamation of German American Heritage Month was issued by Ronald Reagan in October 1987, and since then we have been celebrating every year.
Filipino American History Month: Filipino Americans are the second-largest Asian American group in the nation. The celebration of Filipino American History Month in October commemorates the first recorded presence of Filipinos in the continental U.S., which occurred on October 18, 1587. In 2009, U.S. Congress recognized October as Filipino American History Month in the United States. Celebrate by attending these events in Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas.
Italian American Heritage Month: In 1880, Italians began migrating to the U.S. to flee rural poverty in Southern Italy and Sicily. Italian Americans have made many contributions to the U.S., especially in art, humanities, and sciences.
