Sense of Place at Colorado College
Just another WordPress site
My archive is about Colorado College Hockey and the people who attend CC Hockey games im going to look at attendance rates, records of each team throughout the years, tickets prices from years past to now and demographics of the hockey players and the attendees.
This archive focuses on Colorado College’s former president, William F. Slocum. Slocum served as the president during the years 1888-1917, and during this time he essentially built the school’s foundation as a leading liberal arts college, and until recently has been considered a valued leader. However, Slocum was also serially harassing women during his time as president. Through this project, I look at how women described Slocum’s assaults to help contextualize sexual assault in the early 20th century.
My project revolves around a series of monthly newsletters published by Chicano students at Colorado College in the year 1980 tilted, Mirasol. Through this newsletter, I aim to find out the sense of place Chicano students at CC felt during this time as well as the issues that mattered to them.
Colorado College and Colorado Springs were founded as a unit. William Palmer conceived of the town and dreamed of a school that would dictate the culture of the area. However, in 2019 it seems that the two communities exist in different spheres. How and when did this happen? While this question is too big for one person to answer in one block this project attempts to examine the ways in which the college has presented itself in dealings with the city as a means to understand when this relationship may have changed. It looks at the ways in which the school has advertised itself to the local government, businesses, and people in order to develop a relationship with the town. Additionally, this project relates these actions to modern methodologies for creating a harmonious relationship between a college and the town in which it exists.
Project Summary:
The sources included in this project cover events that happened between 1969 and 2019 that are examples of the black experience at Colorado College. They are mostly clustered around the early 70s because that is around when some of the events (mostly student activism) on the Colorado College campus were documented. Although not exhaustive, they are sufficient for making a case for blackness from the frameworks of Black Theory and Collective Identity.
This collection of viewbooks is designed to represent the evolution of Colorado College’s strategy to attract prospective students since the college’s founding in 1874.
Project Summary:
This project explores the history of Colorado College’s Reserve Officers Training Corp from 1917-1919, as well as student involvement and life for CC students engaged in military training
