Students in the CC Mobile Arts<\/a> Community Artivism Adjunct had the opportunity to see hands-on the impact that local city and state policies have on arts and culture. Through the course, students participated in CC Mobile Arts and local Colorado Springs community events, as well as attending an overnight field trip to the Paseo Project in Taos, New Mexico.<\/div>\n

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

\u201cArtivism is art and activism, activism and art,\u201d says class instructor Dr. Nancy R\u00edos, co-director of CC Mobile Arts. \u201cChicanas\/os of the Movimiento are often credited with centering art in activism in their social and political fights for justice and students in this course analyze and get inspiration from these and other contemporary artivism examples.\u201d Artivism is a social-justice-movement-based approach to solidarity and coalition that was formed out of feminism and racial justice organizing.<\/div>\n

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

This adjunct teaches students how community organizing, policy making, and social change can be achieved through artivism. One of the highlights of the class is the students\u2019 participation in The Paseo Project<\/a> in Taos, New Mexico. The Paseo Project is an annual two-night festival where artists display interactive, inspiring, and community-based art. This year, students in the class worked with Dr. Theresa J Cord\u00f3va of Las Pistoleras Instituto Cultural de Arte to create an art installation<\/a> that emphasizes the political and historical memories of the Chicano people in northern New Mexico.<\/div>\n

CC and Goat Patch Brewery Raise a Toast to 150 Years with Exclusive Brew<\/h1>\n

<\/span>
<\/h1>\n
In honor of CC\u2019s upcoming 150th anniversary, we have collaborated with Goat Patch Brewing Company to rebrand its popular blonde ale as a CC beer!<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/h1>\n
\u201cThis is such an exciting and fun partnership for Colorado College with a high-quality local business,\u201d says VP and Director of CC Athletics Lesley Irvine. \u201cGoat Patch aligns with our own values of commitment to community and their competitive spirit is reflected in their high-quality outcomes, which aligns so seamlessly for us. This helps build community, pride, brand, and loyalty in a highly visible way. We are grateful for their willingness to partner, and we are excited to bring the CC community their very own beer – particularly in celebration of our 150th anniversary!\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/h1>\n
Staff and faculty:<\/strong> The newly branded beer will be served along with other Goat Patch beers at CC events, the Goat Patch Brewery, and other Colorado Springs dining and bar establishments. And CC community members will have the chance to decide the first-ever CC beer\u2019s name through an online voting site. Voting begins at 10 a.m. today, Friday, Jan. 19, and closes Feb. 9.<\/b><\/div>\n

Visiting Assistant Professor of Physics Dr. Juan Burciaga was awarded the 2024 Homer L. Dodge Citation for Distinguished Service to the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT<\/a>).<\/div>\n

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

\u201cBurciaga is honored for his tireless efforts to promote the tenets of diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout the physics community and profound work to build the expertise of the AAPT community in the teaching of physics for the life sciences,\u201d the award announcement states<\/a>.<\/div>\n

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

Burciaga has worked tirelessly to increase opportunities for and the number of practicing Hispanic physicists. In 2018, Burciaga chaired the organizing committee for the Enhancing Undergraduate Physics Programs at Hispanic Serving Institutions conference<\/a>. The conference was designed to define the challenges and opportunities of physics at HSI, and to make recommendations to key stakeholders at these institutions, such as faculty members, department chairs, and funding agencies.<\/div>\n

There\u2019s no doubt that in 2023, smart technology became increasingly widespread. But what happens when computer scientists create applications without considering people in their design? Best-case scenario: the product is functional but goes unused. Worst-case scenario: possible discrimination, loss of access, and more. Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science Dr. Varsha Koushik spent three-and-a-half weeks teaching her students the importance of considering the potential impacts on people, cultures, and groups when designing interfaces. Luckily for her students, CC\u2019s liberal arts education has prepared them to face these challenging questions and discussions while they work to create a more just future.  <\/div>\n

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

Students in Koushik\u2019s Foundations of Human-Centered Computing <\/em>learned about human-computer interaction research, which centers the study of computer science on the relationship between people and computing.<\/div>\n

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

\u201cThe goal of the class was to introduce students to the user-centered design process and enable them to define problems and develop solutions through the lens,\u201d says Koushik, whose research focuses on exploring accessible smart technologies as a way to empower people with disabilities. \u201cFurthermore, the course teaches existing research practices in human-computer interaction and helps students critically think about emerging technologies and their impact on our society.\u201d<\/div>\n
