Dear Class of 2021, We are excited to be together today to mark this important milestone: your graduation. Whether in person or virtual, you spent four years living and learning in a fast-paced living and learning community and brought meaning to your studies through dynamic curricular engagements. The lessons you learned reach far deeper than class material, and will continue to serve you as you explore this new chapter. No degree could have prepared you for this past year; there was no prerequisite for the pandemic. You immersed yourselves in virtual and hybrid learning, exploring alongside professors and staff mentors as you found new ways to connect with course material. You found new opportunities to connect with peers and fostered community relationships through co-curricular engagements, closing the distance between you and your peers through virtual meetings and collaborative projects. This was not easy, and there was no guidebook; this year was truly unprecedented. Most importantly, you showed up for one another. You built relationships during a time of separation between your peers, friends, professors, and mentors to grow and strengthen the CC community. You found creative ways to connect, express yourselves, and participate in social activism. You are leaving a legacy, and we will feel your absence. After this long year of physical separation, we are grateful to come together to recognize your strength, resiliency, and achievements as you mark this important achievement. Today, you join thousands of other CC graduates in the ranks of alumni. The CC community is here for you. Colorado College will always be your home; we look forward to welcoming you back time and time again. Sincerely,
SUSAN S. BURGHART ’77
