CooXooEii Black \u201920 recently won the Rattle Chapbook Prize<\/a> for his book, \u201cThe Morning You Saw a Train of Stars Streaking Across the Sky.” Chapbooks are books of poems less than 40 pages, and the Rattle Chapbook Prize<\/a> is very competitive. There were over 2,000 entries for the 2022 Rattle Chapbook Prize, and Black, along with two other people, was chosen. Black was awarded $5,000 and his book was distributed to Rattle\u2019s 8,000 subscribers. At CC Black was on the creative writing track for English majors, where he specialized in poetry.<\/div>\n

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

\u201cI’m super thankful for the English and art professors at CC. It was in the creative writing classes there that I realized I wanted to pursue creative writing and get into the creative field in general. They were incredibly supportive, and without their knowledge and guidance, I wouldn’t be pursuing a master’s degree in fine arts, nor would I have been blessed with this chapbook. It’s humbling to know that you have amazing people like that in your corner,\u201d says Black.<\/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

State of the Rockies Vintage Poster Contest<\/strong><\/h1>\n

<\/span>
<\/h1>\n
The State of the Rockies project invited students to submit a digital image of a vintage-style poster<\/a> <\/span>of a national park, monument, or forest in the eight-state Rocky Mountain region that includes a contemporary conservation message or motto. The direction each student went was only bound by the conservation of public lands topics covered in the poll.<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/h1>\n
Judges Aaron Cohick, Katja Rivera, and Kaitlin Steinfort \u201922, have announced the winners of the 2023 Conservation in the West Vintage Poster Contest:<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

1st Place Sam Nystrom Costales \u201925: Bear Lodge National Monument<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
The State of the Rockies poll demonstrated that there was strong enthusiasm for the current administration\u2019s 30×30 policy, which seeks to conserve 30% of land and marine habitat by 2030. The policy supports tribal-led conservation projects and sovereignty. It is significant that 30×30 recognizes sovereignty as tribal involvement in management practices has been treated as a formality, despite the efficacy of Indigenous-led land management. At the same time, 30×30 must avoid placing the burden of protecting public lands primarily on Indigenous peoples. Highlighting this part of the 30×30 policy is important as recognition of tribal sovereignty could provide greater agency to Indigenous groups while reducing the continued harm of settler-colonialism. I represented Devils Tower (using an alternative name) because it has particularly been a site of struggle for the recognition of Indigenous land practices and sovereignty, specifically between outdoor recreationists and the nations that regard the site as sacred.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

2nd Place Rafi Donohoe \u201924: Protect Our Dark Skies<\/strong> <\/span> <\/h2>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
My visit to Great Sand Dunes National Park was the first time I had been to a dark sky preserve, and the first time I ever really saw the Milky Way. Inspired by the \u201cHalf the Park is After Dark\u201d slogan from the National Park Service, I wanted to recreate the iconic Milky Way posters with a message about light pollution. While the artificial light may seem harmless compared to greenhouse gases or fracking, it has the power to disrupt human and animal rhythms and ruin natural habitats. Additionally, lighting is one of the largest contributors to global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, and much of it is wasted. With my poster, I hope to convey the beauty of dark skies, and the importance in preserving them from light pollution.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

3rd Place Sebastian Olson \u201924: Pikes Peak<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
I focused on Pikes Peak with Garden of the Gods in the foreground for my poster. Since I came to Colorado College, I have spent many weekends exploring Colorado\u2019s vast wilderness, but often rely on these two nearby spaces to unwind and go on a run or bike ride. As a gateway into the Pike National Forest, Garden of the Gods has much to offer, but its easy access comes with increased vulnerability. Car traffic and litter have only increased these past years since 2020. At least three-in-five people in every Rocky Mountain state support preserving public lands and national monuments, and my goal for this poster is to get this point across while still inviting people to visit these amazing locations. Our natural spaces should be accessible to people, not cars.<\/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

Since 1985 the Colorado Women\u2019s Hall of Fame<\/a> has inducted 199 women of various races, backgrounds, economic levels, career choices, political philosophies, and religious beliefs, all united by their outstanding contributions to society.<\/div>\n

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

In Fall 2022, Women\u2019s Educational Society nominated Mary G. Slocum<\/a>, founder of WES, to be considered for admission to the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame, and last week, Slocum was inducted. We are thrilled that Slocum’s significant contributions to Colorado College, its students, and the surrounding community have been honored in this way!<\/div>\n

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

The lives of these extraordinary women are shining examples of what can be achieved with passion, commitment, spirit, and the willingness to stand tall in the face of obstacles. They are trailblazers, visionaries, women of courage, glass-ceiling breakers, innovators, and rule changers in all walks of life. Their contributions span Colorado\u2019s colorful and storied history and have spread to touch our nation and world.<\/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
