Summer Session 2023 is off to an exhilarating start, delivering a vibrant and impactful learning experience to students. With 146 students enrolled in eight off-campus courses and 265 students enrolled in 23 on-campus courses, this summer term is set to leave a lasting impression. <\/div>\n

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

The off-campus courses have captured the imagination of students, with topics ranging from the complex relationship between Indigenous communities and the State under colonial and postcolonial conditions in Professor Hernandez-Lemus’s course in Kenya, to the origins and impact of Montessori and other educational pedagogies in Professor Nicki Coomer’s course in Italy. These thought-provoking courses offer profound insights and the chance for students to expand their horizons.<\/div>\n

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

On-campus, students are immersing themselves in hands-on learning experiences. Field-based courses, such as BE202 Field Botany and GY135 Geology of the Pikes Peak Region, provide invaluable opportunities for students to apply their classroom knowledge in real-world settings, bridging the gap between theory and practice. Additionally, the remote course offerings in Block C are enabling students to explore sought-after subjects that are typically not available during the academic year.<\/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

As graduation season draws to a close<\/a>, Zillow, the leading real estate and rental marketplace, created a list of the best metropolitan areas for recent graduates in the country<\/a>. Number one on the list: Colorado Springs! The rankings are based on rent-to-income ratio, average salary for recent college grads, job openings, and the share of the population in their 20s.<\/div>\n

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

The Zillow report states that Colorado Springs is \u201cthe top market for college grads in 2023, exemplifying how markets with a smaller population, relatively affordable rents and lots of career prospects contribute to a high quality of life for individuals beginning a new phase in their lives.\u201d In its story on the report, MSNBC specifically noted that Colorado College is one of the assets, offering \u201cemployment opportunities to their own recent grads and graduates of nearby colleges.\u201d<\/div>\n

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

The Zillow index calculates that, in the Springs, the typical recent graduate can expect to make around $63,000 annually. While the typical graduate will spend about 35% of their income on rent without roommates.<\/div>\n

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

Most CC graduates will agree, Colorado Springs is a great place to go to college. The experts now agree that it\u2019s a great place to stay after you\u2019re done.<\/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

Wasabi, Colorado College\u2019s Men\u2019s Ultimate Frisbee Team, won D-III Nationals<\/a> for the first time in CC history. <\/div>\n

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

Wasabi was undefeated all weekend and ultimately beat Middlebury College 15-11 to take home the national title.<\/div>\n

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

\u201cWasabi played like the best team at this tournament because, frankly, they were,\u201d a writer for Ulti World wrote<\/a>. \u201cTheir perfect blend of star power, depth, adaptability, and athleticism was a recipe for national success.\u201d<\/div>\n

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

\u201cThe win means so much to me and I’m so proud of my teammates for all they accomplished during this season,\u201d says Grench. \u201cBut what means more to me are the relationships I was able to build with my teammates and coaches throughout this season and the three prior seasons.\u201d<\/div>\n

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

The D-III National College Championships took place May 20-22 in Obetz, Ohio.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Tom Byron \u201923 has won a Coro Fellowship in Public Affairs<\/a>, which will allow him to work at several different organizations over nine months, gaining invaluable experience and professional development skills. The Coro Fellows Program<\/a> aims to equip upcoming leaders with knowledge, skills, and networks to create positive change. Fellows gain a wide range of experiences in different types of work as a result of rotating through organizations.<\/div>\n

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

\u201cTom might be one of the most motivated students I\u2019ve worked with,\u201d says Gretchen Wardell, student success specialist who worked with Byron throughout his time at CC. \u201cTom\u2019s passion for politics is unmatched, and Coro will provide him with practical experience and knowledge about communities, politics, and organizing. While the mission of the Coro Fellowship is to train the new generation of leaders, Tom is already a leader, and Coro will be a great jumpstart to a promising future!\u201d<\/div>\n

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

\u201cI think CC was some of the best preparation I could have for Coro,\u201d says Byron, a political science major. \u201cThe program works by cycling us through different organizations every six weeks for nine months, so it’s kind of like the Block Plan for jobs. We might work for a government agency, then a nonprofit, then a corporation, then a political campaign, then a labor union, all to teach us about how power works in American cities.\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
