From the article: \u201cThe students are out there,\u201d said L. Song Richardson, president of Colorado College. \u201cIf we believe that talent is equally distributed across demographic groups,\u201d she said, \u201cthen you would expect an unbiased recruitment process to result in a diverse class.\u201d<\/div>\n

The Public Interest Fellowship Program<\/a> (PIFP) has a new cohort for 2023-24. In line with President Richardson\u2019s pillars – Student Transformation, Thriving Community, and Bold Actions – this cohort is doing some exciting work with Colorado non-profits.<\/div>\n

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

PIFP helps to build the capacity of Colorado nonprofits by offering yearlong and summer fellowship opportunities for Colorado College (CC) students to become directly engaged in societal systemic change. During their fellowships, CC alumni and continuing students will do everything from completing projects that target growth and change in society to direct client support \u2013 essential experiences to gain direct exposure, and insight into the non-profit sector while building upon their workplace skills in a professional capacity.<\/div>\n

Colorado College\u2019s Ed Robson Arena is the host venue for the 2023 World Jump Rope Championships, as well as the 2023 World Junior Jump Rope Championships and the 2023 International Open Tournament. The competitions will be held July 16-23, 2023. The final round for the World Championships will be held on July 22 and 23.<\/div>\n

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

Colorado College worked closely on the bid with the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation<\/a>, which works to advance Colorado Springs, Olympic City USA, and the Pikes Peak Region through community and sport events, and VisitCOS<\/a>, a marketing organization that works to increase awareness of the Colorado Springs and Pikes Peak Region areas.<\/div>\n

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

“The World Jump Rope Championships highlight Colorado Springs on a global stage,\u201d Megan Leatham, Colorado Springs Sports Corporation CEO, said in the announcement last year. \u201cThe passion of this community for sports, along with the foundation created by the City for Champions project, will make this the perfect home for this world-class event.\u201d<\/div>\n

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

Ed Robson Arena policies and regulations, including the clear bag policy, will be in effect for all events. Please visit the arena\u2019s website for more information<\/a>.

Half Block Class Helps Rising Sophomore Intern at Lockheed Martin<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

When Kalie Chang \u201926 was picking a Half Block course last fall, she knew she wanted to take an engineering course that she could apply to her computer science major. She had no idea, however, that Investigations in Engineering: Preparing for a Career in Space Half Block, would result in a 12-week paid internship with Lockheed Martin<\/a> this summer. <\/div>\n

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

Erik Daehler \u201998, former Lockheed Martin executive who taught the Half Block course, designed the class to give students as much real-world experience as possible. While Daehler, who graduated with a degree in physics, feels his education at CC was phenomenal, he says he struggled to find a job upon graduating, and wanted to make sure future engineering students were more prepared to enter the workforce immediately upon graduating.<\/div>\n

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

\u201cI really appreciated the mentorship and support that Erik provided me because he helped with resume review, cover letter review, mock interviews, and he helped me get connected with my current manager,\u201d says Chang, a 2022 Bridge Scholar<\/a>. \u201cI wouldn’t be where I am without taking this course or without his support, so I am incredibly grateful for his help.\u201d<\/div>\n

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

Chang has wanted to intern at Lockheed Martin since her senior year of high school and applied to the program several times. Once at CC, she committed herself to working hard in her classes and utilizing all resources available to her so she could be better prepared to apply for the program again.<\/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

Students Facilitate Philosophical Conversations Among K-12 Students<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

While the Philosophy for Children (P4C) adjunct class may seem like a regular philosophy class for Colorado College students, it is so much more than that. This class teaches CC students how to facilitate meaningful conversation among K-12 students<\/a>, using age-appropriate tools, which helps to develop their communication and critical thinking skills.<\/div>\n

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

\u201cI believe helping young people ask good questions, think critically, communicate clearly, and listen respectfully is important for civil society and human flourishing. I doubt democracy can survive without citizens with such capacities,\u201d says Steve Kern, who instructs the class along with Alberto Hern\u00e1ndez-Lemus \u201987, associate professor of philosophy.<\/div>\n

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

Students can repeat the adjunct class for credit and are referred to as \u201cveterans.\u201d Veteran students are expected to facilitate discussion in a local school under Kern and the local partner-teacher\u2019s guidance. There were eight students who took this adjunct class last fall, and four of them are taking it again.<\/div>\n

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

\u201cPhilosophy for Children is a de-centralized movement, very entrepreneurial,\u201d says Kern. \u201cThere is a lot of variety in approaches. Ultimately, we\u2019re linked by the belief that children can \u2013 and should \u2013 have philosophical conversations. There are periodic conferences and many websites that can provide informal support, but it\u2019s up to local people to decide how to make it work.\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

Al Lo \u201922 received the Princeton in Asia Fellowship<\/a> last spring, which will take him to Singapore to work in student development at Ngee Ann Polytechnic. Lo will be working specifically with performance and visual arts students to help them find how the arts can fit into their future \u2014 a journey that Lo went on himself while experimenting with dance and theater at CC.<\/div>\n

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

\u201cI enjoy acting and performing, but helping others and allowing them to shine is what really interests me,\u201d Lo says.<\/div>\n

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

Through his various extracurricular activities \u2014 managing the Esports team, working at campus activities, and taking leadership positions in both Dance and Theatre Workshop \u2014 Lo has developed a sense for how the entertainment industry works. He hopes his work in Singapore will further build that understanding, so he may potentially pursue Entertainment Law in the future.<\/div>\n

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

Lo, who graduated with a double major in anthropology and theatre and dance, recalls that in his first year at CC, it was Theatre Professor Tom Lindblade (now retired) who inspired him to keep the arts in his life \u2014 a responsibility Lo will soon have to his students in Singapore.<\/div>\n

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

Lo hopes to gain a lot of personal insight while also contributing to his community in Singapore. \u201cI want to not only learn more about my own Asian identity, and to learn more about Southeast Asia, but [\u2026] I want to be transparent about my experience as an Asian American. For me, it\u2019s like, how do you succeed in America without losing your own racial identity. That\u2019s something I want to share with students in Singapore.\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
