Homecoming Weekend 2016 OCT. 13-16

A Message from the Director of Alumni Relations and Assistant Vice President for Advancement Whether you choose to relive the CC experience each year, every five years, or maybe only occasionally, the campus awaits your return. Classmates are busy planning reunion gatherings, and the rest of us are filling in the Homecoming schedule with all sorts of stimulating programs, some of which are reliant upon your voice to deepen the conversation. • Haven’t had enough American politics? Get the CC perspective from faculty and fellow alumni. • Cheer on a fellow classmate or accomplished alumnus or alumna at Homecoming Convocation (see pages 11-14 for awardee profiles). • Attend a reception with a favorite faculty member. • Participate in provocative conversation at Freedom and Authority. • Attend a “class” like in the good old days, but on innovative topics. • Hear from current students. • Hear about your college from President Jill Tiefenthaler. • Observe progress in action with the Tutt Library renovation or visit the Adam F. Press Fitness Center or renovated Slocum Hall. • Sit in meditative silence in Shove Chapel. • Cheer on the Tigers at athletic events. • Get your best dance moves on. … • and on … and on. … The point is: There’s something for everyone! Based on feedback from last year’s participants, we have more class-specific events and more intellectual offerings, including our first-ever TED Talk-style forum for our youngest alumni (all are welcome if the topic moves you).

Join us Oct. 13–16. In anticipation,

Anita Pariseau Director of Alumni Relations and Assistant Vice President for Advancement

Colorado College

Employed at Colorado College for 21 years, campus horticulturist Cecelia Gonzales is largely responsible for the sustainability and aesthetics of the CC campus landscape. Through her efforts to create a more sustainable and earth-friendly campus, she has replaced much of the bluegrass with native and climateappropriate plants. Her designs reflect the natural beauty of the campus and are created through careful consideration of cost, maintenance, sustainability, and stewardship. Gonzales became a landscape industry-certified technician with Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado in 1999. She received the Golden Trowel Award from the City of Colorado Springs for five consecutive years. Her work with students has included building a pollinator garden, serving as student advisor for the Synergy House, teaching trail building at the CC cabin, and assisting with courses and field trips. In 2002, she visited Japan to research gardens, and subsequently she was instrumental in installing a Japanese garden at the Asian House on the CC campus. In 2006, she attended an intensive, invitation-only garden seminar in Kyoto, Japan. Gonzales has served on numerous campus committees and works closely with the Native American Student Union. She received a B.A. from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.

The Spirit of Adventure Award recognizes an alumnus/a who exemplifies the unique CC experience through a life of intellectual, social, or physical adventure. These attributes are characterized by the late Robert M. Ormes ’26, a Colorado College English professor from 1952-73 who was the inaugural award recipient. He was an adventurer of the mind, body, and the spirit that exemplifies much of what is special about the college.

“It’s not about what the future holds, but who holds the future.” — Idris Goodwin Assistant Professor of Theatre and Dance

Trinity Ludwig Wells ’06

Trinity Ludwig Wells began her investment banking career in 2006 at George K. Baum & Company, where she structured capital project financings for educational and nonprofit institutions. Currently, she splits her professional time between strategic consulting (TJL Consulting LLC) and investment banking (Sage Canyon Advisors), specializing in venture capital, mergers, and acquisitions for emerging technology companies in the government contracting sector. In 2011, during a leave of absence, she and two friends took an 11-month hike up the spine of South America. Throughout their adventure, the trio collected biodiversity data through GPS, photos, and journaling for Pacific Biodiversity Institute. The following year she returned to South America to lead scientists on an exploratory expedition to collect additional data about biodiversity in remote wildlands of Argentina. Paying her passion for the outdoors forward, Wells currently serves as treasurer of the board of Paradox Sports (Boulder, Colorado), a nonprofit that revolutionizes lives through adaptive climbing opportunities. In the past, she served on the boards of two wildernessfocused nonprofits — cityWILD (Denver, Colo.), which provides at-risk youth with wilderness service learning opportunities, and Pacific Biodiversity Institute (Winthrop, Washington), which focuses on land preservation in South America.

Three alumni and one CC professor talk about the importance of the CC network

CC alumni are everywhere, and are uniquely qualified to make a difference in the world. As part of the Colorado College network, alumni like you are prepared, as CC Professor Idris Goodwin explained during the 2016 Baccalaureate ceremony, to “hold the future.” Your involvement makes the Colorado College network stronger because together, your combined efforts result in:

ROBUST RECRUITMENT: Assistant Director of Admission

Leah Fugere ’12 has seen firsthand how alumni make a CC education possible and allow the college to compete for the best students.

STRONGER RANKINGS: Jim Parco P’16, Gerald L. Schlessman

professor and associate chair of the Department of Business and Economics has developed a personal finance course during the past four years. In Parco’s words: “During this intensive, nine-day course, we cover budgeting, credit cards, student loans, buying houses and cars, taxes, investing, and retirement planning. One topic that comes up regularly in this class is charitable giving. I remind our students that when they leave the college, we want them ‘to do well, to do good.’ I frequently use giving to CC as an example. A small gift of any amount — even $5 per year — does a lot more good than they might realize. Aside from the contributions to financial aid for less-fortunate students, participation through annual giving is also the only category in which alumni can influence U.S. News & World Report rankings. It is NOT the amount of the gifts the college receives, but rather the percentage of the alumni base that gives something — or, rather, anything each and every year.”

CAREER AND INTERNSHIP PLACEMENT: A chance encounter

recently led Parker McVey ’17 to an internship at Wold Energy Partners that is giving him experience in investment banking and the energy sector.

In Fugere’s words: “Often, prospective students first hear about Colorado College from our alumni and say, ‘I’ve never heard anyone talk about college like that before.’ One memory stands out vividly. Two years ago, the admission staff told a prospective student that he had been accepted to Colorado College. He was a full-need student who couldn’t pay a dime to attend. His reaction was subdued and we were baffled. Next, we heard from the Financial Aid Office that he would be receiving a full scholarship. He cried with joy at the news. It was a significant moment for me to observe and remember: the scholarship was more important to him than the acceptance offer.”

In McVey’s words: “By coincidence, I met Matt Kelly, a Colorado College annual giving officer, and I shared my interest in interning at an energy firm. A few weeks later, Matt connected me with Court Wold ’06. The interview went very well and shortly after, I secured an internship with Wold Energy Partners for the summer. Court, who is now my boss, has implemented a Block Plan-inspired style into his business and, consequently, into my internship. I have multiple, challenging projects with ambitious due dates that I am constantly working toward completing. Matt was essential in making all this happen, and I’m very thankful for his willingness to reach out and help me.”

YOUR GIFT TO COLORADO COLLEGE AND EACH OTHER:

When Laura Jenney Roe ’91 and her class’s 25th Reunion Committee planned their class gift, they thought about what Tutt Library had meant to them and then decided they would be part of the effort to renovate it into CC’s library for the future. In Roe’s words: “Tutt was our go-to place when we needed to crank out work. It was our sole resource for academic research, and it provided a shared space for collaborative endeavors. But who can forget the endless slabs of concrete, the crowded tables, the lack of sunlight, the lifeless décor? And how about that creepy tunnel? Fast forward 25 years and Colorado College is transforming our alma mater’s intellectual hub. This project will more than double Tutt’s current seating capacity while reinventing spaces specifically designed with collaborative ventures in mind. Tutt’s metamorphosis will provide Colorado College with a facility uniquely designed to meet the dynamic needs of the Block Plan. The Class of 1991’s gift to the library renovation project will be a token of our appreciation for our shared Colorado College experiences.

Alumni like you play a vital role in keeping the CC network strong. Whether you’re connecting promising students to the college, sharing your professional connections, or giving every year to the programs, departments, and initiatives that mean the most to you, you’re making this network stronger.

The Visual Arts

Friday, Oct. 14 1-6 p.m. and

Saturday, Oct. 15 1-5 p.m. “Corollary Acts” I.D.E.A. Space, Cornerstone Arts Center “Corollary Acts” brings together historical Native American cultural material from the Colorado College collection with the artistic production of 12 contemporary Native American artists. The intent of placing these works together is to demonstrate the influence of older artistic traditions on the artistic production of these contemporary artists. In some cases the historical works are from the same community as the contemporary artist and older artistic traditions in their artwork are very evident. In other instances this relationship is inferred. Exhibiting historical works with contemporary artistic expressions of Native American artists demonstrates the different ways in which these artists pay homage to their indigenous roots and aesthetic traditions. This exhibition will also demonstrate the continual evolution of artistic expression and the ways in which artists seek to innovate and adapt new materials and media to express their own creative vision. — Curated by Michelle McGeough, independent curator

Friday, Oct. 14, 1-6 p.m. and

Saturday, Oct. 15, 1-5 p.m. “Project UnBlocked: The Modern Middle East: Freedoms and Authorities” Coburn Gallery, Worner Campus Center “Project UnBlocked” exhibitions offer a glimpse into the learning arc of a block. Students in the course The Modern Middle East: Freedoms and Authorities, taught by Jane Murphy, associate professor of history; are invited to interact with an exhibition of images 26

Colorado College

from the Middle East. Based on their course readings and discussions on the ways in which Middle Eastern women, men, and children experience issues of freedom and authority in their families and everyday lives, students will re-curate the exhibition by choosing images that parallel, counteract, or complicate the existing images. Working with Professor Murphy and the I.D.E.A. curator, students will redesign the exhibition to incorporate their images and accompanying interpretive text.

Saturday, Oct. 15, 7.30-10 p.m. “Paradise Motel” Norberg Studio, Edith Kinney Gaylord Cornerstone Arts Center “Paradise Motel” explores the iconic motel in drama. It is a series of short scenes in a seedy motel — a place to dream, hide, fail, make love, laugh, cry, die, or talk to ghosts — within the confines of the fading wallpaper, the bed one grade up from a prison cell bed, and the worn, stained carpet; this motel has seen it all. “Paradise Motel” was directed and devised by Andrew Manley, associate professor of theatre and dance, and contains a cast of 28 CC students. This is a continuous performance, and audience members are welcome to drop in and out when they like. Tickets are $5 at the door. Homecoming Weekend 2016
