FAVORITE PLACES, FAMILIAR FACES
HOMECOMING AND PARENTS WEEKEND OCTOBER 13-16, 2011
“Investing oneself in a place is what gives meaning to it. It is the places where one does something special, often with friends, colleagues and teammates, where one acts, creates, performs, finds and changes oneself, or even falls in love, that become special, memorable and magical. ~ Tom Cronin, Professor of Political Science

H o m e c o m i n g a n d P a r e n t s We e ke n d 2 0 1 1 We invite you to campus for a special weekend to celebrate the FAVORITE PLACES, FAMILIAR FACES of Colorado College. Join us to revisit and rediscover the FAVORITE PLACES on campus that hold special meaning for you. Reunite and reconnect with FAMILIAR FACES, whether it’s a student, a favorite professor or a memorable classmate. We look forward to seeing your FAMILIAR FACE at Homecoming and Parents Weekend. “Places and spaces matter. Few people pass through Colorado College without developing rich attachments to certain buildings, pathways, practice or study areas, or distinctive nooks in or nearby this academy. Call it nostalgia, sentimentality or whatever, it becomes a home away from home and often home itself - at least for a while, at a consequential time in one’s life. “ ~ Tom Cronin, professor of political science

12:30 p.m. – 7 p.m. “Parvana,” I.D.E.A. Space, Edith Kinney Gaylord Cornerstone Arts Center The Persian term parvana is frequently translated as “butterfly,” but in Indo-PersianArabic poetic usage, it almost always refers to the obsessed lover; literally, the moth, parvana attracted to the flame shama. Using the dual translation of parvana as a springboard, this project explores the multiple aesthetic, scientific, and literary understandings of moths and butterflies. The I.D.E.A. Space exhibition will feature works by Joseph Scheer and Rebecca DiDominico. Blurring the boundaries between art and science, Joseph Scheer uses a high-resolution digital scanner designed for scientific research to enlarge moth specimens to 2,700% of their original size. The resulting large-format prints transform the microscopic into the macroscopic, revealing with breathtaking detail the extraordinary complexity and beauty of an 6

often-maligned insect. In contrast to Scheer’s revelatory analytical approach to moths, Rebecca DiDominico’s artworks made from butterfly wings encased in mica capture the evanescence typically associated with the butterfly. The exhibition and related performances, lectures, and interactive events will examine the intersections between scientific and artistic modes of investigation and questions how, by engaging multiple ways of knowing, the arts can influence understandings of the natural world. 1 p.m. Campus Tour, begins at Cutler Hall Call the admission office at (800) 542-7214 or (719) 389-6344 to make a reservation. 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. The Press at Colorado College Open House, Taylor Hall The Press at Colorado College, founded by art professor Jim Trissel P’81 and P’89 in 1978, is a fine press dedicated to the art of making limited edition books and broadsides. Under Trissel’s guidance, The Press became one of the finest letterpress studios in the country. Join us for an on-going printing demonstration and pull your own keepsake print by hand. 2 p.m. Admission Information Session, Cutler Hall Call the admission office at (800) 542-7214 or (719) 389-6344 to make a reservation. 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. Early 50s Era Reunion screening of “On the Waterfront” with Professor John Simons, Screening Room, Edith Kinney Gaylord Cornerstone Arts Center The Early 50s Era Reunion (Classes of ’50, ’51, ’52, and ’53) will enjoy a discussion with Professor John Simons (English) and view “On the Waterfront.” 2:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. Guided tour of the Edith Kinney Gaylord Cornerstone Arts Center with Jessica Hunter Larsen ’90, curator of the I.D.E.A. Space. 2:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. CC’s New Health and Fitness Center, Slocum Commons Athletic Director Ken Ralph will share the college’s vision for a new Health and Fitness Center. It has been nearly 40 years since the college built its current sports center, and the time has come to refocus on the “healthy mind/healthy body” ethos of a liberal arts education. Recent surveys of CC seniors show an increasing satisfaction with the quality of instruction and the overall CC experience, but our recreational facilities are lacking. Comparative data also tell us that CC’s recreation and fitness facilities lag behind the nation’s other elite liberal arts colleges. A new Health and Fitness Center would allow the college to provide secure space for recreational activities — especially in colder months — engender an enhanced sense of community within CC, and ensure that students understand facilities are not just for athletes. coloradocollege.com/homecoming

3 p.m. Colorado College Spike It Up Classic, El Pomar Sports Center The Colorado College women’s volleyball team hosts Chapman, Webster University, UC Santa Cruz, and York College in its annual tournament.
3 p.m. – 4 p.m. “Fake it Til you Make It: Laughing for No Reason” with Professor Tomi-Ann Roberts, Main Space, Edith Kinney Gaylord Cornerstone Arts Center In 1884, the American philosopher William James proposed a counter intuitive theory of emotion. He said that our emotions do not arise directly out of our encounters with the world, but instead from our awareness of bodily changes in ourselves. We don’t cry because we’re sad, he said, we’re sad because we cry. We’re happy because we laugh. The corollary to this theory provides us with a remarkably easy path to well being. If you want to cultivate good feeling, fake it! In 2006, Professor Roberts (psychology) traveled to India to study “laughter yoga” with a doctor who believes that laughter really is the best medicine. Come learn about the power of laughter to improve mental and physical health, and tie us to something greater than ourselves: each other. 4 p.m. College Admission Seminar, Cutler Hall College-bound teenagers – and their parents – often can be overwhelmed by the choices and requirements of college admission. What courses are important to take in high school? How significant are extracurricular activities, essays, test scores, and interviews? When should preparation for college admission begin? CC alumni with teenagers who are beginning the college search process are invited to this special session. Topics covered include: What it takes to gain admission to a selective liberal arts college; how to get the most from a campus visit; and information on financial aid. Call (800) 542-7214 or (719) 389-6344 to reserve space. 4 p.m. CC Men’s Soccer vs. Austin College, Stewart Field Cheer on the Tigers as they battle Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference opponent, Austin College. 8

It tells the story of a handful of immigrants--Greek, Mexican, Scottish, Italian -- in southern Colorado, climaxing in the Ludlow Massacre of April 1914, in which elements of the Colorado National Guard killed striking miners and family members. “Ludlow” was named best poetry book of the year by the Contemporary Poetry Review and the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum.

“Perhaps your PLACE loves having you there. It misses you when you are away and in its secret way rejoices when you return. Could it be possible that a landscape might have a deep friendship with you? That it could sense your presence and feel the care you extend towards it?
