Maddison \u201cMaddi\u201d Schink \u201923 has won a 2022 Truman Scholarship<\/a>, the premier graduate scholarship for students interested in public service. She was selected from 705 candidates and is one of 58 awardees this year of the prestigious honor.

<\/span> <\/p>\n

\u201cI am incredibly honored and grateful for the opportunity to join the community of Truman Scholars,\u201d she says. \u201cIt means a lot to both me and my family that I will be able to use this scholarship to further my education, grow as a leader, and give back to the communities I care about.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cI am deeply appreciative of everyone \u2014 family, friends, and faculty and staff at CC \u2014 who helped me get here,\u201d she says. \u201cI know that I couldn\u2019t have made it to this point without all of their guidance and support along the way. It is truly a team effort.\u201d<\/div>\n

For the students of Professor Rebecca Tucker\u2019s Museum Studies Practicum, the museum isn\u2019t just a place to dispense information. It\u2019s a vehicle, a laboratory, a playground, a classroom, and a public arena, humming with the possibility of blowing open old practices. This spring, as the students curate an exhibition of 24 prints from John James Audubon\u2019s \u201cBirds in America,\u201d <\/a>they aim to upend the museum experience, turning it into a site for equal exchange between curators and visitors.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Their exhibit at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College\u2019s Museum, \u201cReframing Birds of America: Conversations on Audubon<\/a>,\u201d represents nearly a year\u2019s work. For two semesters, students have honed the themes and ideas of the exhibit. The design considerations \u2014 from the lighting and picture frames to the text accompanying the prints \u2014 are critical. But nothing is more important than the questions they will invite of viewers.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cSo many of our students want to make change,\u201d says Tucker, professor of art and the project lead. \u201cThe agenda of the museum and art history these days is to ask hard questions, and the museum is the arena for the questions they want to be asking.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

Environmental Action Summit<\/strong>
The Office of Sustainability will be hosting CC’s second Environmental Action Summit on Friday, May 6, 1-3:30 p.m. on Worner Quad. The purpose of this event, with an emphasis on environmental justice, is to engage both community members and students in a meaningful discussion about environmental\/climate action and sustainability, as well as provide opportunities for everyone to get further involved. Various organizations \u2014 both on-campus and off \u2014 will have tables with relevant information and ways to engage. After a word from our featured speaker, Jamison (Jamie) Valdez from Pueblo, Colorado, the floor will open for discussion among students and community members around how we can, as a community, better commit to lasting support and action. Jamie is an activist and community organizer in Southern Colorado. He has previously helped with organizing work in racial and economic justice movements like El Movimiento Estudiantil Chicanx de Aztlan (MEChA) and the Occupy Wall Street movement. He used to work for the local Sierra Club chapter, but he now works as a climate justice organizer for an organization called Mothers Out Front. This org is powered by parents\u2019, especially mothers\u2019, desire to protect all children from the climate crisis and create a livable climate for future generations.<\/p>\n

There will be local food and music to help us celebrate the importance of coming together. Please RSVP <\/a>.<\/div>\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

Joseph Shelton, who works in CC’s Campus Safety office, was selected recently as a 2022 Rising Star by the Colorado Springs Business Journal<\/em><\/a>. Shelton has been on a mission for years to be the voice for LGBTQ+ youth and at the end of February, he spoke out against transphobia and for the LGBTQ+ community at a Colorado Springs School District 11 board meeting.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cGrowing up, I never had an opportunity to have my voice be heard,\u201d says Shelton, who is running for the Colorado State Board of Education. \u201cI want to be that for the youths who need their voices heard \u2014 that person who\u2019s going to make a stand for the LGBTQ community, put their voice out there and hold elected officials accountable to the words they say.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

An episode of the acclaimed PBS series “Now Hear This” focused on American composer Aaron Copland that was filmed during last year’s Colorado College Summer Music Festival<\/a> will air on Rocky Mountain PBS on Friday, April 22, at 8 p.m. Conductor and festival artist Scott Yoo, is the host of “Now Hear This,” a show that merges music, storytelling, travel, and culture as Yoo chases the secret histories of some of the greatest music ever written. Yoo is a renowned violinist, conductor of the Mexico City Philharmonic, and music director at Festival Mozaic in California.  <\/span><\/div>\n

Pulitzer-, Grammy- and Oscar-winning composer Aaron Copland created a distinctive American sound in both his classical compositions and film scores. In \u201cCopland: Dean of American Music,\u201d host Scott Yoo and fellow musicians spend time working with students at the Colorado College Summer Music Festival to strengthen their auditioning skills and better understand Copland\u2019s music. To discover Copland\u2019s inspiration, Yoo travels to New York to explore the Jewish music Copland was raised with as well as modernist music through performances by Cantor Daniel Mutlu, violinist Steven Copes, cellist Mark Kosower, festival music director and pianist Susan Grace, and more. Later, Yoo becomes the student and learns from pianist and Copland enthusiast John Novacek about how the composer developed his signature sound, now so familiar to us all.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
