At Colorado College, our primary responsibility is to deliver an outstanding liberal arts education that empowers students to think critically, practice empathetic leadership, and be active participants in society and democracy.<\/p>\n

Prior to the June 2024 Board of Trustees retreat, a group of faculty and a group of students met with Board Chair Jeff Keller and Board Investment Committee Chair John Troubh to discuss divestment requests related to war and conflict in the Middle East.
