Headed back to the future! 🔅Thanks to Clay Greathouse for unearthing this gem from CMC's '87 Solar Program.

In the 1980’s Clay completed Colorado Mountain College’s intensive solar program, helping to install photovoltaic solar systems in 10th Mountain Division backcountry huts near Aspen. Today, Clay is a realtor specializing in unique, rural, off-grid properties in Cochise County, AZ —where there is ample solar potential. 😎

CMC's students of past and present continue to pave the way for a more sustainable future! 👏

Congrats to Professional Photography alum Elizabeth Moreno on her exhibition opening in Tokyo! Moreno attended Colorado Mountain College's @cmcprophoto program from 2003-2005 and has worked as a visual storyteller in Baja California Sur Mexico since 2008.

Moreno's featured photographic series, titled "Umbra", captures inhabitants of rural areas in Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, who suffer from preventable vision impairments that lead to partial or total blindness.

"Photography has taken my work (if not me) to places I never imagined, but the experience I treasure most is that of meeting the people I’ve photographed and learning from them and their worlds."

The exhibition highlights projects supported by Fujifilm through their GFX Challenge Grant program.

Finals week is here. We know it can be stressful, but it's crucial to find time for self-care and relaxation. Here are some tips to help you find balance during exams:

1️⃣ Take breaks: Schedule short breaks between study sessions to rest your mind and stretch your legs.

2️⃣ Prioritize self-care: Engage in activities that bring you joy and calmness, like listening to music or taking a walk.

3️⃣ Get moving: Exercise is an excellent stress reliever. Go for a run, hit the gym, or join a virtual fitness class.

4️⃣ Connect with friends: Reach out to classmates or friends for study support and virtual study sessions.

5️⃣ Practice mindfulness: Take a few minutes each day for deep breathing or meditation to calm your mind and increase focus.

Remember to take care of yourself during this busy time. You've got this! 💪
