The Colorado College Board of Trustees met on campus for our annual winter meeting, February 19-21, 2026. As always, being on campus offers perspectives that can only be gained through presence\u2014observing, listening, and participating in the daily life of the College. For many of us who are also alumni, it is a meaningful reminder of the extraordinary experience we are privileged to steward. <\/p>\n

Several Trustees attended classes on Wednesday\u2014an intentional practice in recent years. Returning to the classroom grounds our work in the heart of the CC experience and sets the tone for our meetings. A number of Trustees also joined Cabinet members for breakfast in Rastall on our first morning, continuing our commitment to direct engagement across the campus community. <\/p>\n

During plenary sessions, we discussed the evolving NCAA\/NIL landscape and its implications for CC\u2019s multidivisional athletics ecosystem. We received updates on the institutional review, progress on the science building, deferred maintenance priorities, and current enrollment trends. Each of these discussions centered on strengthening CC\u2019s academic and financial foundation amid an increasingly dynamic and competitive higher education landscape. <\/p>\n

Trustees also met with members of Staff Council, the Faculty Executive Committee, and students participating in the Career Catalyst Block at the Aspen Institute. These conversations reflect our commitment to shared governance and to hearing directly from those who shape the College\u2019s work every day. Your perspectives matter, and we are grateful for the candor and partnership that inform our stewardship. <\/p>\n

Our evenings were equally full. We attended a brand showcase marking the culmination of years of work to articulate CC\u2019s story with greater clarity. This effort positions us to navigate industry headwinds while reinforcing what sets Colorado College apart. Trustees also cheered on the Tigers at men\u2019s hockey and women\u2019s basketball games and attended the Fine Arts Center\u2019s performance of The Roommate<\/em>\u2014reminders of the vibrancy of campus life beyond the classroom. <\/p>\n

Over the course of our time together, the Board approved: <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
