This week, CC launched Mike on the Mic<\/a>, a podcast series featuring Mike Edmonds<\/a>, senior vice president, in the months leading up to his retirement after 30 years of service at CC<\/a>. Edmonds hosts faculty members and local leaders for conversations about topics that matter. <\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

In the first episode of Mike on the Mic, Edmonds is joined by Margaret Sabin and David Steinbruner \u2013 two pillars of healthcare in Colorado Springs \u2013 for a conversation about mental health and its effects on our college community. Sabin is the past president of Children\u2019s Hospital Colorado Springs and former president and CEO of Penrose Hospital. Steinbruner is the chief medical officer at UCHealth Memorial Hospital and an emergency room physician.<\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

Over three decades of service to Colorado College, Edmonds changed the landscape of CC and illustrated the power of inclusive leadership. As acting co-president with Robert Moore from July 2020-June 2021, he was the first Black leader in CC history to serve as president. He was dean of students\/vice president for Student Life from 1991-2020, and currently serves as senior vice president. Edmonds served and mentored countless students through his many years leading Student Life, holding especially strong relationships with varsity student-athletes and teams.<\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

A decorated public speaker, Edmonds has been a coach and mentor with CC\u2019s speech and debate team and used his communications expertise as a community change agent, serving on many boards of directors throughout Colorado Springs. Above all, Edmonds has demonstrated steadfast care and concern for students as his guiding principle and made an indelible impact on the CC community.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

Cornel West is a social justice advocate and an elite scholar of African American studies. West\u2019s written contributions to academia have and continue to inspire conversations about race and injustice, lighting a path for other brilliant activist scholars to follow. His passion and vocalism add value to higher education and is an example of how one voice can mobilize revolutionary change, evoke new meaning, and spark awareness about racial issues plaguing society today. <\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
This Black History Month, we highlight West and his contributions: reminding us that our words have power, whether written or communicated; and to take time to reflect on how we choose to use our words and how our contributions will forever impact history.<\/div>\n

From the creator and star of \u201cHamilton\u201d <\/em>comes Lin-Manuel Miranda\u2019s first Tony Award-winning musical, a love-letter to the community in upper Manhattan where he still lives. \u201cIn The Heights<\/a>\u201d tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New York\u2019s Washington Heights neighborhood \u2013 a place where the coffee from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open, and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. It\u2019s a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams, and pressures, where the biggest struggles can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and which ones you leave behind.<\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

Directed by Elise Santora<\/a>, who won the Henry Award for outstanding actress for her work on stage at the FAC in \u201cAnna in the Tropics,\u201d and choreographed by Julio Agustin<\/a>, \u201cIn The Heights\u201d boasts a production team and cast comprised of people of color. \u201cThese stories are everyone\u2019s stories,\u201d said Santora. \u201cIt\u2019s parents trying to put their child through college; it\u2019s an independent, fierce woman fighting for her business. It\u2019s about created family, a better life, and what home really looks like. I want the audience to be soaked in that community feeling.\u201d<\/div>\n

Colorado College\u2019s 13th<\/sup> annual State of the Rockies Project Conservation in the West Poll shows strong support for conservation policies among Westerners despite inflation, drought, water shortages, and overcrowding.<\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

The poll, which surveyed the views of voters in eight Mountain West states, including Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico, Montana, Nevada, Idaho, and Arizona, found that the majority (70 to 90 percent) support conservation goals like protecting wildlife habitats and migration routes, ensuring healthier forests, preventing light pollution that blocks out stars, and safeguarding drinking water.<\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

The poll surveyed at least 400 registered voters in each of eight Western states for a total of 3,413-voter sample, which included an over-sample of Black and Native American voters. The survey was conducted between January 5-22, 2023, and the effective margin of error is +2.4%. The full survey and individual state surveys are available on the State of the Rockies webpage<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

Cayce Hughes, assistant professor of sociology, hosted trans filmmaker Chase Joynt and sociologist Kristen Schilt to screen their film \u201cFraming Agnes,\u201d at Cornerstone Arts Center on Dec. 12. The film, which had premiered at Sundance this past year, is about a woman named Agnes, who approached the UCLA Medical Center in the late 1950s seeking sex-reassignment surgery, and how this event would go on to define the medical and social scientific understanding of transgender people well into the 1990s.<\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

For Hughes, the master class and film<\/a> had powerful ties. \u201cWe focused on the social construction of deviance and the ways that power shapes this process. \u2018Framing Agnes\u2019 is a window into the ways that powerful institutions, including medicine and social science, play a role in constructing categories around transgender identity that affect trans lives in profound ways. At the same time, the film centers trans folks\u2019 responses and resistance to these mechanisms of social control, highlighting their agency in the face of constraint. That tension and interplay between individuals and institutions is at the heart of sociological inquiry, so I think the film checks so many relevant boxes.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

As students wrapped up the class and watched the film, Hughes shared, \u201cI hope students are inspired by the possibilities of trans-disciplinary (pun intended) collaboration. One of the most exciting things about learning in a liberal arts setting like CC is the opportunity to be exposed to different ways of approaching a topic or question, to learn different methodological and theoretical approaches, and to explore how different disciplines challenge and complement one another.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
