It’s a high-tech Cinderella story that showcases CC students\u2019 ability to think big and find solutions to life\u2019s problems utilizing their intelligence, raw grit, courage, and determination. One in which this small, liberal arts school took on some of the biggest names in the Ivy League and won!<\/div>\n

Four CC Computer Science students, who met just <\/strong>two weeks ago, participated in their first hackathon<\/strong> together and won first place<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Ronan Takizawa \u201926, Primera Hour \u201925, David Prelinger \u201925, and Kylie Bogar \u201927 decided to participate in HackHarvard<\/a>, a student-run hackathon where 100 teams of coders built a project with a prompt in a certain amount of time. They presented their idea, demonstrated how it works, and then a team of judges decided who won. There were about 600 participants from colleges and universities all over the country, including Harvard, Stanford, Penn, Rutgers, Boston University, and many more.<\/div>\n

CC Joins College Presidents for Civic Preparedness<\/h1>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
By Julia Fennell \u201921<\/em><\/div>\n

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

Colorado College President L. Song Richardson has joined a group of 20 college and university presidents who are committed to promoting free speech and civil discourse on college campuses across the country.<\/div>\n

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

College Presidents for Civic Preparedness<\/a> is an initiative created by the Institute for Citizens & Scholars this past summer. It brings together a group of college presidents with differing perspectives who are all working to address the challenges of making sure young people are well-informed and committed citizens.  <\/div>\n

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

Freedom of expression and speech is a critical part of the Colorado College experience, and more importantly, prepares young people to be global citizens committed to creating a more just, equitable, and humane world.<\/div>\n

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

\u201cColorado College is a community dedicated to open dialogue, civil discourse, and academic freedom,\u201d said Richardson. \u201cWe foster courageous conversations across difference so that our graduates are well prepared to lead in a diverse democracy. Our goal is never to tell students what<\/em> to think, but rather how<\/em> to think, critically and with an open mind.\u201d<\/div>\n

This lecture will explore concrete possibilities for people involved in undergraduate and graduate education programs to think about how abolition involves all spheres of human existence \u2014 not only, even if urgently, police and prisons. Inspired by and drawing on legacies of liberation movement scholarship and organizing, the talk will explore a number of inter-disciplinary dimensions, institutional forms, and internationalist solidarities that come clearly into focus when we use an abolition lens.<\/div>\n
