Tia Vierling ’22 recently returned to the U.S. after a 13-month stint in Japan, where she taught English through the JET Program. Her motivation stemmed from her family’s Japanese heritage and her desire to reclaim lost language connections. \u201cMy choice to take Japanese at CC in my senior year was driven partly by the loss of that language between generations in my family. I wanted to gain some of that knowledge back,\u201d Vierling says.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Vierling applied to both the Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Award to Kenya and the Japanese Exchange and Teaching Program and ultimately withdrew her Fulbright application after accepting the position with JET. Vierling says both programs are competitive but there aren\u2019t any English teaching Fulbright positions offered in Japan; JET, which is run by the Japanese government, fills that role.<\/div>\n

What does your job entail?  
<\/strong>It feels like there is something new every day. I work on most of CC\u2019s marketing and communication initiatives. I edit the external and internal communications that come out of or through our office and write many of the stories about events on campus or involving CC community members. I am also the editor for CC\u2019s newest publication, The Peak<\/em>. I\u2019m sure there is something else I\u2019m missing. Oh ya, I attend meetings!<\/span><\/div>\n

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

Where did you work before CC and what were you doing?
<\/strong>Before returning to CC, I was a high school English teacher and then a book coach helping mom authors write their novels.<\/span><\/div>\n

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

Tell us a little about your background.
<\/strong>I graduated from CC in 2007 with a degree in English on the Creative Writing track and as a four-year member of the women\u2019s basketball team. I then moved to Melbourne, Australia, where I earned my MFA in Creative Writing. In Australia, I taught English and coached basketball before moving to teach in Nepal. Afterward, I returned to the States and taught high school English in San Diego and the Bay Area before leaving the classroom to write full-time and be at home with my kids. I am so excited to be back in Colorado, back at CC, and back with the community I love.<\/span><\/div>\n

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

What do you like to do when not working?  
<\/strong>When I\u2019m not working, I\u2019m usually spending time with my two young kids. If there is any free time outside of that, I love to read and write, bake and decorate cakes, enjoy a nice glass of wine or dark beer, and do pretty much anything outside (hike, camp, SUP, ski). I also love to travel and am forever looking for that next adventure. Oh, and I\u2019m always up for a game of basketball.<\/span><\/div>\n

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

Wild card: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
<\/strong>A cartoonist, a veterinarian, a marine biologist, a photographer for National Geographic, a reporter, a surgeon, a presidential speech writer (we were a very political household), foreign diplomat, and, at one point, I was pretty set on being a horse.<\/span><\/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><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In a world of increasing political polarity, it\u2019s reassuring to know that there are still places where civil discourse can happen across party lines. Thankfully, one of those places is Colorado College.<\/div>\n

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

On the evening of Friday, September 15, a group of students came together in Taylor Theatre on the CC campus to witness two of their classmates discuss and debate some of the most important topics affecting our country today. Zoraiz Zafar \u201924, a Mathematical Economics major, argued the Libertarian position while Caitlin Soch \u201924, an International Political Economy major, debated the progressive side.<\/div>\n

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

The event was completely student-organized and student-run. From pre-event marketing to lights, sound, photography, and video on the night, it was all CC students. The debate was hosted by Cutler Publications, the independent, student-run non-profit that funds and oversees CC\u2019s student publications (including the student newspaper, The Catalyst<\/em>), and the planning and production was done by a group of students headed by Cutler Publications President, Zeke Lloyd \u201924.<\/div>\n

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

\u201cWe wanted to host an event for young professionals in our community, an opportunity for students to transform into videographers, moderators, journalists, and political experts,\u201d Lloyd says. \u201cWe also wanted to educate and inform the student body on the range of perspectives which exist not only around the country, but also right here on campus.\u201d<\/div>\n

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

The moderators for the evening were Catalyst<\/em> Co-Editor in Chief, Isabella Ingersoll \u201925 and Catalyst <\/em>News Editor, Marynn Krull \u201926. The event crew was completed by Debate Fact Checker, and Catalyst <\/em>Co-Editor in Chief, Michael Braithwaite \u201924, who was at stage-right with his computer, at the ready for any clarification or fact-checking needs. The theater was entirely full with CC students.<\/div>\n

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

\u201cThe purpose of this evening is to encourage intellectual conversation outside of the classroom,\u201d Ingersoll stated during her opening remarks. \u201cWe want to showcase the unique ideas of this generations thinkers.\u201d<\/div>\n
