Dear CC Community,<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Last week, we launched our institutional strategic plan<\/a> and the cascading divisional plans<\/a>, giving us a clear framework for the years ahead.<\/p>\n

Now, I want to talk about why this is an important moment for Colorado College and how we navigate a landscape that makes progress challenging.<\/p>\n

In our latest State of the College conversation, I\u2019m joined by Lori Seager, Vice President of Finance & Administration and Chief Financial Officer, and Tony Cabasco, Vice President of Enrollment, to discuss how CC builds the conditions to do just that.<\/p>\n

We cannot choose the forces reshaping higher education, but we can choose how Colorado College responds to them. That means making deliberate decisions about how and where we invest our resources while staying focused on the immersive liberal arts education that sets us apart from our peers.<\/p>\n

In this video, we discuss our financial position, what we\u2019ve learned from our institutional review, how we\u2019re strengthening our enrollment strategy in light of the demographic cliff, and the strategic priorities guiding CC\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
