April is Arab American Heritage Month, celebrating the rich and vibrant culture and contributions of Arab Americans. Nearly four million Americans trace their roots to an Arab country. Arab Americans are diverse ethnically, religiously, and politically. For this reason, there are over 1,500 political, religious, and ethnic organizations representing the Arab American population. <\/div>\n

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

National Arab American Heritage Month has been observed during the month of April since 2017. In 2023, President Biden proclaimed April to be Arab American Heritage Month, marking the first time in our country\u2019s history that the formal recognition was made at a national level. Colorado governor, Jared Polis, was one of 47 governors to also issue proclamations commemorating April as Arab American Heritage Month in 2023.<\/div>\n

\u201cImagine, if you will, a multi-story Hot Wheels track as you enter the building, complete with multiple loop-de-loops,\u201d shares course co-instructor and CC Economics and Business Professor Dan Johnson. \u201cAnd that\u2019s just the atrium.\u201d  <\/div>\n

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

It was a historic first for both CC and the Mattel Company: a cohort of twenty students and two professors embedded for nine days at the iconic toymaker\u2019s headquarters in Los Angeles, learning from company experts about the toy-making process from concept through creation. This is where Barbie, Hot Wheels, American Girl, and Thomas & Friends come to life.<\/div>\n

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

Curious undergrads from multidisciplinary backgrounds, who are used to learning a lot quickly, came into the half-credit\/quarter-internship Half Block with eyes wide open, their sense of wonder engaged.<\/div>\n

Testing of the Emergency Notification System<\/h1>\n

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

<\/div>\n
Campus Safety will conduct a test of the Rave Emergency Notification System some time during the week of April 1<\/strong>. This system is used to notify the campus community of any unsafe conditions on campus using the Standard Response Protocol. All CC students, faculty, and staff are automatically enrolled<\/strong> in the emergency notification system using their CC email. To receive notifications via text or voice to your mobile phone, you must register the number<\/a>. If you have not registered your mobile phone number, notifications will only be received via your desk phone and your CC email address.<\/div>\n

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

If you do not receive the test during the week of April 1, please opt in by texting CCSafe to 226787 (Campus).<\/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

Please join us on Monday, April 1 from 4-5:30 pm in Gaylord Hall in the Worner Campus Center <\/strong>for the latest installment of the Marianne Lannon Lopat Memorial Lecture series, \u201cUnderstanding and Managing Our New Age of Danger<\/a>.\u201d Thom Shanker \u201978 will guide attendees in reimagining a better national security apparatus, arguing for expanding the definition of national security to truly keep Americans safe in this new \u201cage of danger.\u201d He states that, while American taxpayers pay for a national security machine that costs $1 trillion a year, too often the U.S. government gets it wrong on critical issues.  <\/div>\n

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

Yes, traditional threats remain from sources such as superpowers China and Russia, rogue states like Iran and North Korea, and well-organized and well-armed terrorist organizations. But just as importantly, we must also understand that we need to prepare for emerging threats like climate change, food insecurity, forced migration, pandemics, cybers attacks, and drones. <\/div>\n

You voted, we listened. In honor of our upcoming anniversary, we have collaborated with Goat Patch Brewing Company to rebrand its popular blonde ale as a CC beer and you chose the name. After receiving thousands of votes, the winner, with over 52% of the final tally is: Tiger Tail Blonde Ale.<\/div>\n

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

Tiger Tail will be served in Robson Arena, the FAC, and at many on-campus events (including Homecoming 2024!) starting in the fall. It will also be on tap at Goat Patch Brewery as well as many Colorado Springs restaurants and bars. So go ahead, raise a glass to CC\u2019s past, present, and future with a pint of Tiger Tail. But only if you\u2019re 21 or older!<\/div>\n

It\u2019s an invigorating new era for the FAC. A new visionary wants to breathe new life into the cultural icon that has served as the foundation for the arts in the Pikes Peak region for more than a century. FAC Executive Director Nicole Herden has spent the past eight months getting to know the inner workings of the museum,<\/a> the theatre,<\/a> and the Bemis Art School<\/a>, plus all the professionals that comprise the heart of this triad.<\/div>\n

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

\u201cI am feeling really energized, motivated, optimistic, and excited for the future,\u201d says Herden. \u201cI am so thrilled to be part of the FAC for many reasons. It has a unique workplace culture, and every place has its unique challenges. But the potential I foresee here is exhilarating!\u201d<\/div>\n
