As we settle into summer, I want to share an important update on work that will shape Colorado College’s path forward for years to come beginning this fall.<\/p>\n

We have received a draft<\/em> report from Baker Tilly following their comprehensive Institutional Review of Colorado College\u2014a process that engaged our campus community through interviews, focus groups, and institution-wide surveys of employees and students. I am grateful to everyone who participated so thoughtfully and openly. You provided essential insight and perspective.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

What the Review Found<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Baker Tilly\u2019s findings affirm what we already know: Colorado College has real and distinctive strengths. The Block Plan remains one of our most powerful differentiators. Our faculty and staff demonstrate exceptional commitment to students. We have a strong financial foundation, significant endowment resources, and deep institutional pride across our community.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the review surfaces challenges we must take seriously. Across six areas\u2014Fiscal Health, Strategic Enrollment Management, Student Experience and Success, Academic Portfolio, Resource Optimization, and Organizational Effectiveness\u2014Baker Tilly identified a consistent through-line: our greatest opportunities lie in how we coordinate, share information, and communicate decision-making authority so that our people and resources work together more effectively on behalf of students.<\/p>\n
