The application deadline is just days away! For the first time, CC is bringing Dartmouth's Tuck Business Bridge Program to campus during Half Block, Jan. 1-15, 2027. This exclusive opportunity gives sophomores, juniors, and seniors from any major the chance to gain practical business skills, explore career possibilities, and build valuable professional connections. No previous business experience is required!

Students will learn finance, accounting, marketing, strategy, and more while gaining real-world experience through a team capstone project. Participants will also receive résumé and interview support, career guidance, and opportunities to connect with Tuck MBA mentors, alumni, and industry partners. The program also provides a strong connection to Dartmouth: Approximately 50% of students accepted to the Tuck MBA program are Business Bridge alumni.

CC students can participate for $8,650, compared with $11,300 for Tuck's summer program. Financial aid is available to selected CC students.

Don't miss your chance to be part of CC's inaugural cohort! Applications close Monday, Oct. 19, at 11:59 p.m. MT. Learn more and apply through Handshake.

If you've ever wondered how Colorado College can have a significant endowment while also facing budget challenges, you're not alone. It's a question many people are asking across higher education, and this session is designed to help answer it.

Join Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer Lori Seager and Associate Vice President for Finance Jen Smithwick for a clear conversation about how the College's endowment works.

🗓️ Date: Tuesday, Oct. 27
⏱️ Time: 3-4 p.m.
📍 Location: Gaylord Hall

They'll explain how the endowment is constructed and invested, why many funds are legally restricted to specific purposes by donor intent, and how Board spending policies are designed to preserve these resources for future generations rather than use them all at once. You'll also learn what endowment income supports and why it can't simply be used as a general fund when budgets are tight.

As the College continues important conversations about its institutional strength, understanding how the endowment works provides valuable context. No finance background is needed, and all faculty, staff, and students are welcome.

Register in advance to attend.
