\u201cJustice is what love looks like in public.\u201d ~ Cornell West<\/p>\n

As we enter into what is often a slower paced block with more interruptions to our common rhythms, I want to use this space to remind everyone to make time for rest, joy, and connection. These can be our greatest tools in a system that depends on our sadness, anger, and exhaustion. As Tricia Hersey reminds us, \u201cOur worth does not reside in how much we produce… Rest… becomes an act of resistance and a reclaiming of power because it asserts our most basic humanity. We are enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

We are<\/em> enough.\u00a0 May we all be committed to loving each other more in our unending pursuit of a more just world.<\/p>\n

In solidarity,<\/p>\n

In Block 3, IDEAL<\/a> came together to discuss the ways in which the change in presidential administration may impact programs and people on campus. We are working on compiling resources and support for those who may be concerned about federal policy changes, which will be shared on the IDEAL webpage as they become known\/available.<\/p>\n

From the publisher:<\/p>\n

Rita Todacheene is a forensic photographer working for the Albuquerque police force. Her excellent photography skills have cracked many cases-she is almost supernaturally good at capturing details. In fact, Rita has been hiding a secret: she sees the ghosts of crime victims who point her toward the clues that other investigators overlook. As a lone portal back to the living for traumatized spirits, Rita is terrorized by nagging ghosts who won’t let her sleep and who sabotage her personal life. Her taboo and psychologically harrowing ability was what drove her away from her hometown on the Navajo reservation, where she was raised by her grandmother. It has isolated her from friends and gotten her in trouble with the law. And now it might be what gets her killed. When Rita is sent to photograph the scene of a supposed suicide on a highway overpass, the furious, discombobulated ghost of the victim-who insists she was murdered-latches onto Rita, forcing her on a quest for revenge against her killers, and Rita finds herself in the crosshairs of one of Albuquerque’s most dangerous cartels. Written in sparkling, gruesome prose, Shutter <\/em>is a blood-chilling debut from one of crime fiction’s most powerful new voices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Join us for an evening of poetry and reflection with Bobby LeFebre, Colorado\u2019s Poet Laureate Emeritus, as he delves into the themes of place <\/em>and belonging<\/em> in the Southwest. Through poetry that bridges the personal and the communal, the rural and the urban, LeFebre will explore what it means to be rooted in this land, shaped by cultural legacy, driven by complex heritage, and committed to an unwavering path of liberation and anti-racism.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

This reading is inspired by CC’s ongoing Sense of Place Initiative, which seeks to deepen understanding of the complex history of the Southwest, forge meaningful partnerships within Colorado Springs and surrounding communities, and foster a true sense of belonging. LeFebre\u2019s work, which often draws from his family\u2019s deep ties to the Southwest, will invite attendees to consider their own connections to place, history, and each other.<\/p>\n
