In celebration of this year\u2019s Black History Month, the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College is showcasing Black artists and Black voices in a variety of events and programs both virtual and in-person. This week, the FAC is re-releasing a virtual reading of Director Idris Goodwin\u2019s historical drama “The Raid,” recorded in 2021. It’s available here <\/a>Feb. 1-19. A thought-provoking 163-year flashback to a debate between iconic abolitionists John Brown and Frederick Douglass on the eve of Brown\u2019s raid on the federal armory in Harpers Ferry, “The Raid” examines the complexity of race in social protest, digs into what it means to be an ally versus an accomplice, and lays bare the limits of radicalism.<\/span><\/span><\/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

Autumn Rivera, a Colorado College Class of \u201904 biology graduate who also earned a Master of Arts in Teaching <\/a>at CC in 2005, was named Colorado\u2019s 2022 Teacher of the Year<\/a> in October. Rivera is a science teacher at Glenwood Springs Middle School in Roaring ForkSchool District, where she has taught sixth grade for nine years. Now she is one of four finalists for the National Teacher of the Year award.<\/div>\n

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

During her more than 16 years as an educator, Rivera has worked with students from elementary to postgraduate levels. She is a member of the Colorado Science Conference Planning Committee and the Steering Committee with the Colorado Science Education Network. She is the Region 3 Elementary Board representative for the Colorado Association of Science Teachers and volunteers with the American Association of Chemistry Teachers.<\/div>\n

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

\u201cI know I would not be where I am today without the foundation I built at CC,\u201d she says. \u201cThe Block Plan taught me to really push myself to perform at a high level in a short amount of time. The lessons I learned in the MAT program taught me to always think outside the box and find ways to challenge my students to make changes in their world right now.\u201d<\/div>\n

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

As Teacher of the Year, Rivera represents the entire profession in Colorado. Rivera, along with the country\u2019s other teachers of the year, will be honored at a ceremony at the White House and get the opportunity to go to NASA\u2019s Space Camp.

Mary Margaret (Mia) Alvarado<\/a>, thesis writing specialist in the Colket Center for Academic Excellence at CC, published a lyric essay<\/a> in The Georgia Review<\/em> that delves into new primitivism in the digital age. “It is striking that while our lives are so disembodied in some ways by the digital age, the experiences around birth and nursing remain largely unchanged,\u201d Alvarado says.<\/span><\/div>\n

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

Alvarado, who has her MFA in nonfiction from the University of Iowa, was a senior instructor in creative writing and rhetoric at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs before coming to Colorado College. She uses her background in poetry and creative writing to help thesis students by encouraging them to slow down and bask in \u201cthe art of questions.\u201d Teaching students how to ask better questions, then question those questions before arriving at a conclusion, gives them time to wander in the process and really explore the subject, she says. \u201cOur negative knowledge is just as important as our positive knowledge.\u201d<\/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

What does your job entail?<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
I am here to provide student-centered education, programming, and organizational leadership to the Butler Center in its mission to provide an inclusive and respectful academic and work environment. My job is to provide students with advising, personal counseling, and support for holistic and healthy identity development, particularly around Black, Indigenous, Latinx, AAPI, and multiracial identity.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Where did you work before CC and what were you doing?<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Before I came to CC, I worked at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs as a graduate assistant in the Scholarships Office. There I supported my colleagues in scholarship programming and processed scholarships for students.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Tell us a little about your background.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
I am from Holland, Michigan, and graduated with a bachelor\u2019s in psychology and sociology from Hope College \u2014a small liberal arts college. I value diversity and creating an inclusive environment of belonging on campus. This value led me to be involved with multicultural student organizations to help normalize the presence and diverse cultures of BIPOC students.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
What do you like to do when not working?  <\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
When I am not working, I like to go on hikes and explore the mountains with my husband, Caleb, and our dog, Josie. I love eating and trying different foods. Thankfully, I also love dance fitness (Zumba, Mixxed Fit, SocaFit) to shake off the calories accumulated by restaurant hopping.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Wild card: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
When I was a kid, I was obsessed with becoming a figure skater. Michele Kwan was my idol, and I wanted a Zuca bag like all the other cool skaters. That dream ended quickly though, when I realized I was not skinny enough (by society\u2019s standards) or rich enough to go very far.<\/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
