Join the Office of Communications and Marketing (OCM) on Wednesday, Sep. 24, from 2-3 p.m. in Gaylord Hall for the next Work of the College Series event — “Elevating CC: Our Brand, Our Story.”

Colorado College is rolling out the first elements of our refreshed brand, and you’re invited to be a part of it. This refresh isn’t just a new look — it’s a clearer, more compelling expression of who we are, grounded in the collective experience of our community.

Built from months of thoughtful conversations, feedback, and insights gathered from across CC, the refresh reflects the ways our students, faculty, staff, and alumni talk about, and live, CC and the experiences that bring us together. It aligns our institutional priorities and vision for what’s next in a changing higher education landscape, even as it lifts and commemorates our impact to date.

In this session, you’ll get a sneak peek at what’s rolling out this year, learn more about the living nature of our brand, and discover how you can engage with the brand and OCM all year long. We hope you’ll join us to discuss how we together elevate and share the Colorado College story.

Register today!

The Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College unveils “Gathering Place,” the most comprehensive reinstallation of its first-floor permanent collection galleries in nearly a decade. Opening to the public on September 6, 2025, this long-term exhibition offers a transformative new lens through which to explore the rich cultural and artistic legacies of the American Southwest and beyond.

At its heart, “Gathering Place” explores the idea of “place” as deeply personal, powerfully shared, and constantly evolving. Featuring a sweeping selection from the approximately 18,000-object permanent collection—including devotional art of the Southwest, modern and contemporary works, and historic and contemporary Indigenous art—the exhibition invites visitors to reflect on the complexities of history, identity, memory, and community.
