Wishing Sid Santos a Fond Farewell

Dear Campus Community,

It is with mixed emotions that we share the news Sid Santos ’94, CSPD Campus Resource Officer, is leaving his position at CC as of Friday, Sept. 29. Sid has been at CC since 2019, and in addition to acting as our Campus Resource Officer, he volunteers at the Career Center to assist our students with interview preparation. 

Sid has accepted a position with the Gold Hills Division Crime Prevention team beginning Oct. 1. Because CC is located in the Gold Hills Division, we will still be working with him and the Crime Prevention team on programming but will be working with the School Resource Officer Unit to fill the vacancy he leaves behind.

“It has been a great experience for me to return to Colorado College as the Campus Resource Officer after graduating from here in 1994. I appreciated returning since I’ve always felt a connection to CC and wanted to have a greater connection. Since being here, I’ve been able to sit down with staff and students and relate to them policing from my perspective,” shares Sid. “Though I graduated a long time ago, I believe that having been a student here helped me relate to the life here at CC.”

Please join me in wishing Sid the best in his new role with CSPD.

Sincerely,


Cathy Buckley

Director of Campus Safety

First Antiracism Book Club (ABC) Book of the Academic Year!

You’re invited to read and discuss the first Antiracist Book Club selection of the 2023-24 academic year.

The reading for Blocks 2 and 3 is The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together by Heather McGhee. This book is a groundbreaking exploration of the zero-sum paradigm which drives economic inequality and has its origin with the establishment of racial hierarchy during colonialism, fueling individual, organizational, and systemic racism. McGhee argues that the zero-sum paradigm, which once served the economic interest of whites, no longer benefits anyone in society except the very wealthy. For example, most people making under $15 an hour are white. Most people without health care are white. We all live under the same sky and are all vulnerable to climate change. McGhee lays bare uncomfortable truths about race, slavery, the American academy, economic policies, and the waning of public goods.

Please click here to join the ABC Microsoft Team for a discussion guide, video of McGhee speaking at Colorado College and other resources related to this and other books in the series.

All books are provided free of charge with your CC Gold Card and is now available for pickup at the CC Bookstore. Be sure to fill out this registration form prior to pick-up.

Please be aware that this book contains disturbing content; specifically, physical acts of violence and verbal assaults of a racist nature.

The Antiracist Book Club is meant to be self-led and asynchronous. We encourage you to create space to discuss these books and their topics in the spaces you already inhabit (e.g., department meetings, athletics teams, student clubs/organizations, etc.) at your own pace. Check out our webpage on upcoming readings for this year.

Happy reading!
