Read MorePresident's Statement Regarding Colorado Springs Shooting
President’s Statement Regarding Colorado Springs Shooting November 21, 2022 Following yet another act of violence in another community in our state, we find ourselves searching for ways to express our anger, sympathies and grief. The events over the weekend in Colorado Springs have rocked our collective sense of humanity and safety, no more so than for our LBGTQ+ friends, family and neighbors. In the face of this latest tragedy, and on behalf of the entire Colorado Mountain College community, we must — once again — find ways to speak and act with our hearts. To lead with kindness and love.

Together, we will continue to create the conditions that lead to equity, opportunity and hope for everyone.
