Commencement 2024 <\/h2>\n
Sunday, May 19, 8:30 a.m.<\/strong>, Ed Robson Arena  <\/span><\/div>\n

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

Commencement Speaker \u2013 <\/strong>The college is pleased to welcome Frieda Ekotto \u201986 back to campus to deliver the 2024 Commencement address. Ekotto is the Lorna Goodison Collegiate Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies, Comparative Literature, and Francophone Studies at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
In 1986, Ekotto became the first African woman to graduate from Colorado College. She went on to earn a Ph.D. in French and Comparative Literature from the University of Minnesota and began teaching in 1994 at the University of Michigan. In addition to her academic work, she is also a creative writer and CC Trustee. Learn more about Ekotto in this \u201cUntold Stories\u201d feature.<\/a> <\/span><\/div>\n
