President Richardson on Women Leaders Podcast, Episode 138<\/h1>\n

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

<\/div>\n
In honor of Juneteenth, the Women Leaders podcast features an honest discussion about race and gender between President L. Song Richardson and Dr. Angel Mason, director of athletics at Berry College. These two women leaders tap into the importance of celebrating the victories, while also pointing out the challenges still ahead, and discussing why we need to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Listen to this meaningful conversation<\/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

Krista Fish \u201997<\/a>, associate professor and chair of the Anthropology Department, competed in April at the 2023 U.S. Adult Figure Skating Championships<\/a> in Utah.<\/div>\n

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

Fish does the bulk of her training during non-teaching blocks, when she skates four to five times a week for an hour, plus off-ice workouts four days a week.<\/div>\n

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

\u201cI think that the focus I learned by being a student on The Block and now teaching on The Block helps me maintain my focus during training \u2014 the focus that both skating and The Block Plan require seem to be interrelated and support each other,\u201d says Fish.<\/div>\n

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

Fish started to skate in high school and continued with it during her time as a student at CC, where she would skate at Honnen Ice Arena after class. Upon entering graduate school, she turned her focus to running, as skating was an expensive hobby for a graduate student. However, she found that her brain couldn\u2019t totally disengage from work during these runs, and she started looking for another workout that would better help her maintain her work-life balance. <\/div>\n

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

In 2016, Christina Rader, assistant professor of economics and business, suggested that she and Fish skate a lunchtime public session at Honnen, and the rest is history.<\/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

Victoria Rosa \u201924 and John L\u00ea \u201924 are two of 413 students across the country to be named 2023 Goldwater Scholars<\/a>. This esteemed award is given annually to college sophomores and juniors who are pursuing research careers in the engineering, mathematics, or natural science fields. Only five students from Colorado were selected as Goldwater Scholars this year.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cThe engagement between students and faculty on meaningful research is made possible by a variety of funding sources, including the Faculty and Student Collaborative Grant<\/a> and Venture Grants<\/a>, which results in the ability to nominate four very strong candidates for the Goldwater Scholarship every year,\u201d says Goldwater Campus Representative Murphy Brasuel \u201996, associate professor of analytical chemistry and Bridge Scholars program director. \u201cThe opportunities on campus allow students to get early experience in research which open doors for opportunities off campus. It is wonderful that both of the CC Goldwater Scholars selected this year are CC Bridge Scholars.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Both L\u00ea, of Garden Grove, California, and Rosa, of Naperville, Illinois, participated in the pre-New Student Orientation Bridge Scholar Program in 2020.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
The Goldwater Scholarship Program, which covers the cost of tuition, books, and room and board up to $7,500 a year, honors Senator Barry Goldwater and has offered awards since 1989. This year, over 1,260 students were nominated by 427 institutions, according to the scholarship\u2019s website<\/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

Colorado College alum Samson Heyer \u201921 has been honored with a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Award<\/a>. With the Fulbright, he will be placed in Algeria, serving as an assistant teacher of English at a university in Algiers.<\/div>\n

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

\u201cIt is an honor to receive the Fulbright and an exciting opportunity to live in Algeria,\u201d says Heyer. \u201cI was able to study abroad as an undergraduate in Amman, Jordan. I wanted to return to the Arab world, yet still be exposed to new experiences and culture in North Africa.\u201d<\/div>\n

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

Heyer\u2019s placement in Africa\u2019s largest nation provides him with a direct link to his studies at CC, where he majored in history and political science with a focus in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and minored in Islamic studies. He also hopes it builds a bridge to his future occupation. \u201cI hope to pursue a career in academia. Working at a university in Algeria will be a great step towards my professional ambitions,\u201d he says.<\/div>\n
