The Speaking Center<\/a>, part of the Colket Center for Academic Excellence<\/a>, offers in-person oral communication tutoring sessions and strategic communications workshops for the campus community.<\/div>\n

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

Students deserve to receive public speaking support, just as they have writing support. Learning the art of effective communication is a life skill that\u2019s foundational to building relationships and communities. Facilitating discussions and various styles of oral presentations are common in CC classes, s0 The Speaking Center connects CC students with a network of trained peers who offer collegial and strategic support to fit everyone’s needs. <\/div>\n

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

Oral assessments are common in CC classes, but they\u2019ve historically been content-driven and not presentational; presentational standards of excellence have not been articulated. Our dream is tha,t as faculty implement these standards, the Speaking Center will teach students how to fulfill them. <\/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

Arab American Heritage Month<\/strong><\/h1>\n

<\/span>
<\/h1>\n
Arab American Heritage Month started as a 2017 initiative that only involved a few states and cities, but recognition has been steadily growing since. Though it is still not officially recognized at a federal level with permanent legislation, President Biden was the first U.S. president to issue a statement acknowledging AAHM in April 2021.<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/h1>\n
The Denver Public Library<\/a> is participating by offering a collection of resources to commemorate and learn more about Arab Americans throughout history and those alive today, recognizing their key contributions to our country, while addressing bigotry and challenging stereotypes and prejudices. <\/div>\n

<\/span><\/h1>\n
These resources include book recommendations for all ages, lists of movies and music, and events throughout the month, such as an Islamic Geometric Art class and a virtual book club relating to social justice. The book for this month is \u201cHome is Not a Country\u201d by Safia Elhillo. <\/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

Join Meriwether Hardie\u2019s<\/a> talk, \u201cCommunities, Food Systems, and Conservation: Learnings from working with land and people around the globe<\/a>,\u201d on April 18 at 6 p.m.<\/strong> in the Cornerstone Screening Room.<\/div>\n

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

Immediately following Meriwether Hardie\u2019s graduation from CC, she traveled to Argentina on a journalism fellowship, bought a horse for $200, and rode from southern Patagonia to Bolivia to report on this swiftly changing landscape, specifically the competition between traditional agricultural practices and modern land conservation techniques. In the years since, Meriwether has continued to dedicate her work to the question of – how do we keep working landscapes working?<\/div>\n

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

From reintroducing beavers to sheep range land in Idaho, to the failing dairy industry in Vermont, to cattle ranching in Hawaii, Meriwether works in places of tension (and opportunity!) in the worlds of conservation, food systems, and communities. Meriwether believes that these worlds are intimately intertwined, especially when provided with the right resources. During Meriwether\u2019s talk, she will share case studies, stories, mistakes, and successes from her experience of working with people and land.<\/div>\n

Feminist & Gender Studies is proud to announce Rushaan Kumar\u2019s new publication: \u201cBodies that Matter<\/a>: Partition Masculinity and the Transgender Archive in Qissa\u201d<\/em> in \u201cFeminist Review<\/a>.\u201d<\/div>\n

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

In this article<\/a>, Kumar provides a critical trans reading of the Punjabi film \u201cQissa: The Tale of a Lonely Ghost\u201d to offer alternative archives of emotion, trauma, and memory that complicate the familiar analytical binaries within which Partition and related questions of citizenship and belonging are theorized.<\/div>\n

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

The purpose of <\/em>\u201cFeminist Review\u201d is to hold space for conversations that rethink and reimagine feminist scholarship and praxis: the modes and contexts in which it operates, the questions it takes up, and with whom feminists are in conversation. \u201cFeminist Review\u201d <\/em>aims to publish accessible knowledge and timely interventions that build on the work of Black, Indigenous, decolonial, and transnational feminist struggle.<\/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

In the Roaring Twenties, Denver was known as “The Big Store,” a wide-open town where smart grifters could fleece wealthy marks out of hundreds of thousands of dollars without any interference from the law, as long as Lou “The Fixer” Blonger got this cut.<\/p>\n

District Attorney Van Cise went after Blonger and his city’s entire corrupt power structure, an intricate network of bent politicians, professional criminals, and the  leaders of the Colorado Realm of the Ku Klux Klan, a poisonous cabal cloaking themselves in patriotism while preaching white supremacy. His efforts would expose the Klan’s crimes and alter the course of the city’s history.<\/p>\n
