CC’s Native American Student Union invites you to the 2026 Annual Powwow. This gathering has been a meaningful CC tradition since 1991, rooted in generations of Indigenous celebration, connection, and community across the region. It’s a space to come together, share in the joy of dancing, music, and art, and honor the resilience and pride of Indigenous communities.

Last year, more than 600 people joined for a full day of dancing, vendors, and celebration at the FAC. This year, we look forward to welcoming even more of our campus and surrounding community as we gather at Ed Robson Arena on Saturday, April 4, from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. For more information email k_gosney@coloradocollege.edu.

Students in Generative Art spent the past month developing computer-generated art pieces before getting to project their creations onto campus exteriors. Throughout the creative process, Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science Cory Braker Scott ’13 encouraged students to think of themselves both as computer scientists and creatives.

During the fourth week of Block 6, students projected their creations onto the outside walls of Palmer Hall and Tutt Library, giving them the opportunity to exhibit their art in a way that would draw in people from across campus and force them to perfect both the aesthetic parts of their work as well as the computational and technical sides. Several students created interactive pieces, and others created projects that were site-specific by using different light installations specific to the building onto which they were projecting their art. Students used commodity projectors checked out from Audio Visual to display their projects. Additionally, the students were able to use the carbon credits to offset the AI use due to financial support of the Crown Center for Teaching.

Data touches nearly everything we do at CC—from updating records and running reports to supporting students and departments. How do we make sure that information stays accurate, secure, and useful for everyone?

Join Erica Shafer, CC Data Strategist, for an upcoming Work of the College Series session on Thursday, April 9, 3-4 p.m. in the Timothy Fuller Event Space (Tutt Library) to learn about CC’s emerging data governance framework, current and upcoming work, and how you can get involved.

Data governance brings clarity and consistency to how we work with information across campus—strengthening trust in our data and making it easier to find what we need to do our work well. No technical background needed.

Friday, April 3, 5-8 p.m.

Join us tonight as we kick off a year of transformation at the Fine Arts Center Look Ahead, an inspiring evening that will reveal what’s next. The FAC is entering the Liminal Year—a thoughtfully curated, transitional season that celebrates creativity today while preparing for a new chapter in 2027. This special evening will offer a first look at upcoming theatre productions, museum exhibitions, and Bemis School of Art experiences, alongside exciting behind-the-scenes insights to show how we’re building toward a bold relaunch in 2027.

Come together as we prepare for the reimagined FAC—we definitely have a few surprises in store! This event is free and open to the public. RSVPs are requested.
