Colorado College has joined a new sponsorship initiative to support a sustainable education pathway for refugee students<\/a> as they begin their studies in the United States.<\/div>\n

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

The Welcome Corps on Campus<\/a> enables colleges and universities to play a leading role in resettling refugee students who were forced to flee their homes and leave behind the communities they\u2019d built. A first-of-its kind program launched in January 2023, the Welcome Corps on Campus links higher education access to resettlement through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP), which provides a path to permanent legal status in the U.S.<\/div>\n

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

Colorado College is one of 144 institutions that have expressed support for the program, which leverages the capacity of U.S. higher education institutions to serve as resettlement spaces and academic opportunities for refugee students, foster more diverse and inclusive campuses, and create a sustainable opportunity for colleges and universities to welcome refugee students on their campuses. Campus Private Sponsor Groups consisting of staff, faculty, and students will welcome refugee students and provide them with a softer landing, a supportive community, and set them up for academic and overall success. <\/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

The 12th annual U.S. Open Taekwondo Hanmadang, one of the largest and most prestigious Taekwondo events in the world, will be hosted at Ed Robson Arena July 28 and 29.<\/div>\n

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

The event will begin at 6 p.m. on Fri., July 28<\/strong>, with Opening Ceremonies, followed with a performance by the Shinhan University Korean Demonstration Team.<\/div>\n

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

“We are honored to bring this tournament to the Colorado College campus in downtown Colorado Springs,” Master Jay Lee, president and CEO of the U.S. Taekwondo Center, said in the November 2022 announcement.<\/a> “Colorado College has a world-class reputation for innovation and education and we are excited to use their state-of-the-art arena which will provide our athletes and families an incredible experience.”<\/div>\n

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

This event is open to all ages, with athletes ranging between four and 90 years old. Hanmadang is a Korean word that translates to festival. This year\u2019s tournament will introduce a new concept in sparring, using electronic safety gear. Additionally, the inaugural William J. Hybl scholarship, a $14,000 cash prize, will be provided to winners of the Demonstration Team competitions.<\/div>\n

After winning the Donovan Award<\/a> in June, it was recently announced that Oliver Kraft \u201923 has also been named Ultimate Frisbee\u2019s D-III Men\u2019s Player of the Year for 2023.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Kraft\u2019s leadership was on display all season, and his play and presence elevated his teammates, playing a major role in their championship. His teammates said it best in his Donovan nomination: \u201cOliver plays and leads with a humble and contagious stoicism unparalleled by anyone else on the team. In all Wasabi contexts, Oliver holds himself and his peers to an extremely high standard of humility, fair-play, kindness, hard-work, and perseverance.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Kraft\u2019s force on defense, composure and production on offense, and leadership made him a unanimous selection as the 2023 D-III Men\u2019s Player of the Year<\/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

When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren is prepared for the adjustment to his new high school. What he isn\u2019t prepared for are the local laws \u2014 including a ban on dancing \u2014 an edict from the local preacher bent on exercising control over the town\u2019s youth. When the Reverend\u2019s rebellious daughter shows interest in the \u201cnew kid,\u201d her boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren\u2019s reputation and many of the locals are eager to believe the worst about him. With its Oscar-nominated hit score (as well as many a nod to Kevin Bacon\u2019s legendary performance), this musical celebrates the exhilaration of youth, the wisdom found through communication, and the power of forgiveness.<\/div>\n

This summer, Colorado College students Zeke Lloyd \u201924 and Michael Braithwaite \u201924, with funding provided by a CC Venture Grant and the Sheffer Fund for Catholic Studies, spent a month travelling around central Europe reporting on the Ukrainian refugee crisis. They visited Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland, and reported back through stories published in the Colorado Springs and Denver Gazettes. Along the way, <\/em>they kept us updated on their travels and experiences<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/div>\n

In our combined two pieces of luggage, we did not bring many books. Even paperbacks are heavy and take up precious space. <\/div>\n

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

But The Art and Craft of Feature Writing<\/em> by William E. Blundell was one of the few that made the cut. It is required reading for the course Reporting on Human Rights. And it was that text, along with content from other journalism classes we have taken, which inspired our five-week trip to Slovakia and Georgia. <\/div>\n

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

Here, our routine consists of adventure. We interview academic experts, community organizers, and everyday citizens. We keep our ears to the ground and build new contacts in each city we visit. <\/div>\n

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

No two days are alike. As we set out each morning to collect stories, we take only what we need. Between the both of us, we carry a small hand-held digital recorder, a notebook, a pack of gum, and two DSLR cameras.  <\/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
