Table of Eight Host a small dinner — as simple as a salad and soup — in your home with multiple generations of CC alumni. You can provide the guest list, or we can send an invitation to alumni in your area based on how many individuals you’d like to attend. This is a casual opportunity to meet and share a meal with Tigers in your area.

Welcome to Your City Connect with new grads and other alumni in your city by hosting a meetup at a local favorite bar or restaurant. This is your chance to meet and serve as a resource for young alumni as they get acquainted with their new home post-graduation — and to connect with other members of the CC community you may not have known were nearby.

Party in a Box Have an idea for an event? Planning a special occasion or watch party with fellow CC alumni or other CC families in your area? Send us an email, and we’ll send you a box of CC goodies and decorations. In return, just let us know who was there and send us a group photo we can share! Tiger Link Hop onto CC’s alumni network, Tiger Link, to connect with fellow alumni who share your background, personal and professional interests, or other affiliations. Find out about job opportunities, access career support and mentorship, and advise alumni interested in following the career path you’ve taken. This network is exclusive to CC alumni and current students. Visit cctigerlink.com to sign in or create an account.

CC in the Spotlight Parents and families are invited to learn more about CC and get to know others in the CC parent and family community through virtual “CC in the Spotlight” events. We will begin each virtual gathering with a guest speaker who will share about their work and area of expertise at CC, introducing you to programs and resources available to your students. These informal presentations are designed specifically for current CC students’ parents, families, and supporters; they are interactive and will include time for Q&A, conversation, and connection.

Email alumni@coloradocollege.edu or give the Office of Alumni and Family Relations a call at (719) 389-6775 to learn more about Table of Eight, Welcome to Your City, or Party in a Box. CC in the Spotlight and other parent or family engagement questions can be directed to parents@coloradocollege.edu. New Interim Director of Alumni and Family Relations is Brenda Soto Current Director of College Events Brenda Soto P’19 has been named interim director of alumni and family relations. Soto is splitting her time between the two positions. Her focus will be working with the Alumni Association Council and Family Communications. Because of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, most alumni and family events are either on hold or being conducted virtually for the time being, according to Soto, though the college is planning for an in-person Commencement.

Soto says she is excited about this new role and about “leading the Events and Alumni and Family Relations offices to work together to create synergies and opportunities to offer programming on campus to the broader community.”

Soto has worked at Colorado College for 35 years in a variety of positions, in Finance and Administration, Summer Programs, Student Life, and most recently in Advancement.

“I have seen many changes, and I am excited to be working with the alumni who I have seen as students over the years,” she says.
