Join the CC community on Thursday, Feb. 26 from 5-6 p.m. in Kathryn Mohrman<\/strong> for a presentation by Rithya Kunnawalkam Elayavalli<\/a>, Assistant Professor of Physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Vanderbilt University. Come early for the cocktail hour from 4-5 p.m. in Armstrong Great Hall.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The second half of the 20th century saw the advent of large-scale particle accelerator and collider physics experiments. International collaborations involving thousands of scientists at places like CERN in Switzerland, as well as across national laboratories in the U.S., have focused their studies on addressing gaps in our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of nature. We discovered various species of quarks, gluons, and the Higgs particle\u2014which earned Nobel and Breakthrough Prizes for those involved\u2014and also recreated the early universe through the production of quark-gluon plasma in heavy-ion collisions. As we have learned more about physics, we have gained massive utility as a byproduct of this research, including advancements in magnet, storage, data-pipeline, and medical physics technologies. Even though we have learned a great deal about quarks and gluons, several key concepts still elude us! In this talk, I will walk us through a brief history of discoveries from particle colliders and highlight many of the unsolved problems\u2014especially in emergent phenomena, where the rules that govern the many differ significantly from the rules that govern the individual. Lastly, we will focus on the pathway toward the projected impact of the upcoming Electron Ion Collider, both in terms of physics and in developing a competent and excited scientific workforce for this discovery machine.   <\/p>\n

This seminar is generously supported through the Harold D. and Rhoda N. Roberts Memorial Lecture in the Natural Sciences endowment, which supports and enhances science teaching at Colorado College.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

This Sunday, Feb. 22, from 12:30-3:45 p.m.<\/strong>, CC will welcome the Colorado Warriors to Ed Robson Arena for a special afternoon of benefit hockey games. Community members are invited to attend, with tickets available for $10. All proceeds support first responders, veterans, and active-duty military. Over 1,000 people are expected on campus, and most people will be parking in the Robson Garage.<\/p>\n

Visitors can also explore displays outside the arena, including a staged police cruiser, fire engine, and commemorative military vehicle, offering a chance to connect with the broader community and learn more about the organizations represented.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/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<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

The first time Phoebe Frankel \u201925 traveled to Colorado was on move-in day of her first year at Colorado College. More than just a cross-country move from her hometown of Princeton, New Jersey, it felt like a hard reset\u2014and a much-needed breath of fresh air.<\/p>\n

Frankel noticed the difference right away in her First-Year Program class, where students came together to prepare for oral exams.<\/p>\n

Editorial Style Guide Updates<\/h1>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

We\u2019ve made a few friendly refinements to the Editorial Style Guide to help keep writing across CC consistent and easy to follow. Months from March through July should always be spelled out, and you only need to include the year when the date is not in the current one. We are also updating how we use honorifics\u2014instead of automatically using \u201cDr.\u201d for anyone who has earned a PhD, we now include it only when an individual specifically requests it.<\/p>\n

Ampersands are getting clearer guidance, too. Use \u201c&\u201d when it\u2019s part of a formal name, title, or academic department such as Department of Mathematics & Computer Science<\/em>. In regular sentences, stick with the word \u201cand.\u201d These small shifts help our communications stay aligned, readable, and unmistakably CC.<\/p>\n
