Dear CC Parents and Families,

Welcome to Family Weekend 2015! We are thrilled that you are visiting our campus and learning more about your student’s time at Colorado College, and we share their excitement in welcoming you to their “home away from home.”

How Do You CC?With a wide variety of academic, artistic, athletic, cultural, and social opportunities available on our beautiful campus and in the surrounding community, there will be many ways for families and students "to CC" together!

Just for a start, you can:

• Attend a presentation

• Climb a rock wall

• Visit an academic department

• Run a 5K

• Enjoy dinner with other families

• Take a hike or a walking tour

• …and much more. Schedule details are available in the pages of this guide and through Registration Central, located in Gaylord Hall in Worner Center.

Welcome to Colorado CollegeIntroducing CC MobileWant to know what’s on the Rastall menu? Heading to a building you’ve never visited and aren’t sure how to get there? Our mobile app brings CC news, dining menus, athletic events, and campus maps to your fingertips. Download the “Colorado College” app for free on the iOS App and Google Play stores and use it to supplement the information contained in this guide.

I would also like to highlight our upcoming Half Block program (p. 26). Half Block is a great opportunity for your student to either take a class for credit or to investigate and develop important skills for “life after college” by taking a Dynamic Half Block course. January may be a great month for bears to hibernate…but not CC students!

Thank you again for visiting campus! We hope you enjoy spending this special time with your student.

Best regards,

Debra ZareckyDirector of Parent and Family Relations

The Innovation Institute at Colorado College provides support and opportunities for students to explore—and become inspired—by innovative thinking, problem solving, creativity, and an entrepreneurial mindset, all within the context of their liberal arts education. The institute additionally seeks to connect students, faculty, staff, and alumni to resources related to innovation and idea formulation. The institute’s mission is to facilitate not only the creation of ideas but also the translation of ideas into innovative action for a real-world impact. As one of the cornerstones of CC’s Strategic Plan, the Innovation Institute operates as a complement to CC’s robust liberal arts curriculum by explicitly building synergy across the disciplines around the concept of innovation.

Parents and Family MembersFor generations, Colorado College parents and family members have given unrestricted gifts to support their students’ transformative Colorado College experience. Gifts made to the Parents’ Fund support every part of the CC experience ensuring that the college has the flexibility to innovate, attract the best faculty and students, and meet its highest priorities. As a member of the CC family, you are invited to help support exceptional Colorado College experiences by making an annual gift through the Parents’ Fund.

Your ImpactTuition is a huge investment; however, it covers only about two-thirds of the real costs associated with a Colorado College undergraduate education. The Parents’ Fund helps bridge the gap by supporting the college’s annual operating budget, which helps support every part of the CC experience, including financial aid, faculty and academic programming, athletics, experiential career placement, independent research, outdoor education programs, global study, and our beautiful campus.

Parent and Family Giving Lead the Way: We invite you to participate in our recognition programsParents who wish to give at the leadership level become annual members of one of our giving societies. Parents and family members automatically become members with any gift to the Colorado College Parents’ Fund of $1,874+ annually. In appreciation of this involvement and support, members are invited to special donor-recognition events on and off campus.

the giving society levels are:

“Parents are chief stakeholders. their support is critical to ensure that students enjoy the world-class educational and immersive learning opportunities that make Colorado College a one-of-a-kind academic experience. In collaboration with parents, we can bolster innovative educational programs, deepen our scholarship, expand our reach, and cultivate the minds of our students.”

— Roger Smith, director of parent and family giving

By participating in the educational, community, philanthropic, and “just-for-fun” events and programs on and off campus and in your own backyard, you can experience many of the reasons your student feels there is nowhere else on planet earth like Colorado College.

January 4–14, 2016

Half Block is held each year during two weeks in January that fall between the end of Winter Break and the beginning of the spring semester. A variety of for-credit courses, which are worth one-half of a regular block credit (hence, “half” block),

are offered free of any extra tuition charge to those students who take classes full-time in either (or both) the fall or spring semesters. Students who choose to take a Half Block class each year that they attend CC could potentially earn up to two full credits to apply to the fulfillment of their requirements. Students should register for for-credit courses through the Registrar’s Office.

Half Block 2016

In addition to the for-credit schedule, students also have the opportunity to participate in Dynamic Half Block, a variety of not-for-credit classes. Professional development and skill-building offerings help students explore interests and build on and enhance existing skill sets. These opportunities build students’ practical knowledge, making them more competitive for

internships, graduate and professional schools, and full-time jobs. Students can sign up for sessions that interest them through their Summit accounts. All Dynamic Half Block courses are tuition-free, as well, although a few may have some program fees. Past offerings have included:

• The Modern World of Work

• Career Choices in the Health Professions

• Entrepreneurial Interest: What It Takes to Launch Your Innovative Venture

• Fullbridge Finance Intensive

• Princeton Review Prep Courses

• The Writing Life: Making a Living Making Things Up
