Twenty senior Art majors spent a week in New York City, fully immersing themselves in different artistic, historical, and cultural aspects of the city, preparing and inspiring them for their senior thesis projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cI loved being given the opportunity to really delve deeply into making and experimentation over the course of the block,\u201d says Clio Quilter-Vagts \u201926, a Studio Art major. \u201cWe were given ample time and space to explore and create, which I was so grateful for. And, of course, I must mention that we had the opportunity to go to New York and see and experience so much incredible art and culture. I got the chance to strengthen my analytical skills and really think critically about art and museums as institutions.\u201d <\/p>\n

Breathe Easy: The Environmental Health and Science of Indoor Air<\/strong>
Saturday, Jan. 10 at 5 p.m. | <\/strong>Colonel Mustard\u2019s Sandwich Emporium<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

How does the air we breathe indoors shape our health, focus, and overall well-being? This Profs & Pints evening blends science, public health, and hands-on discovery. Sensors will be used to compare indoor and outdoor air quality, and participants will build a low-cost air cleaner to take home, perfect for allergy season and beyond.<\/p>\n

The evening features Andrea Bruder, Associate Dean and Professor of Mathematics, who chaired CC\u2019s Scientific Advisory Group during the pandemic, and Jim Rosenthal \u201970, chair and CEO of Tex-Air Filters and president of the Corsi-Rosenthal Foundation, a nonprofit advancing clean air for underserved communities. Together, they bring deep expertise at the intersection of science, health, and environmental stewardship.<\/p>\n

The lecture is free to attend. A sack lunch with sandwich, chips, and cookie is available for $20 with preorder. Beer will be available for purchase with ID. Come learn, build, and breathe a little easier.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

More than 20 students spent 24 hours straight participating in a hackathon focused on community revitalization earlier this month, working directly with the City of Colorado Springs to solve problems facing the local community.<\/p>\n

The Coding Club has worked towards Tiger HaCCs 1.0, the first annual Tiger HaCCs (Hacks) Hackathon, since last year. While this was the first year CC hosted a 24-hour hackathon, CC students have been traveling to collegiate hackathons for several years. In 2023, four Computer Science majors won first place at the Harvard Hackathon.<\/p>\n
