WELCOME Dear Alumni, Parents, and Families, We are excited to deliver an in-person Homecoming and Family Weekend this fall, and we cannot wait to welcome you back to campus! There is so much in store for all our alumni and families of current students, from meeting President L. Song Richardson to celebrating life before and after the advent of the Block Plan to seeing the brand new Ed Robson arena for the first time. We know not everyone will be able to join us on campus, and some signature programs just can’t be missed. With this in mind, we’ll be bringing some events to you virtually as well.

Stay tuned for more details on the many ways to participate and engage with this weekend’s events.

For those on campus, there will be much to see and do, and we hope you’ll enjoy this time visiting your student, reuniting with classmates and dear friends, and connecting with the greater campus community. It’s been a while since we’ve had a moment to actually be with one another and we hope you will take in the occasion with gratitude as we at CC are grateful for and to all of you!

Safe travels and see you soon!

Sincerely,

TIFFANY W. KELLY Director of Alumni and Family Relations

RECOGNIZING THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF OUR COMMUNITY One of the most important functions of the Colorado College Alumni Association Council is to recognize the contributions of distinguished alumni, faculty members, and staff to the betterment of society and to the enhancement of the college and its mission. This year, the college honors the following people with these 2020 and 2021 awards, which will be presented during Homecoming and Family Weekend:

THE LOUIS T. BENEZET AWARD The Louis T. Benezet Award recognizes outstanding achievement in one's chosen field, excellence through unusual success or contribution, innovation or research that has advanced a profession or a cause, and/or extraordinary contributions and achievements that have impacted people's lives and exemplify the values of a liberal arts education. These attributes characterize the important contributions of the late Louis T. Benezet, president of Colorado College from 1955 to 1963.

Raleigh Anne Bowden ’74 is the recipient of the 2020 Louis T. Benezet Award. Bowden attended medical school and has worked in the cancer and palliative care field since 1978. Her early career was in academic medicine at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center where she was associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine until 1998. She was involved in national and international research in infections in transplant patients.

She authored over 100 peer-reviewed articles and edited the first book of its kind on transplant infections, which is in its third edition.

In 1998 Bowden left academics and began developing community-based programs to serve vulnerable populations facing life-threatening health challenges.

She founded and directed the Seattle African American Comfort Program from 2002-2008, subsequently moving to rural eastern Washington state. In 2010 she started the Lookout Coalition, where she currently works. The Lookout Coalition is a volunteer house-call-based palliative care practice serving people facing health challenges, including aging and end of life. Most recently, she built the Okanogan Palliative Care Team to provide services in the largest rural county in Washington state. In 2019, she and her team received the prestigious Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Award to support that work and the development of clinical leaders for the future.

Lance Cheslock ’83 is the recipient of the 2020 Louis T. Benezet Award. Thirty-one years ago, Cheslock began his work guiding La Puente — a small, rural homeless shelter serving Colorado's San Luis Valley. Today it is considered the most comprehensive rural homeless program in the 50 states. Annually, over 12,000 individuals and family members receive at least one of La Puente's services.

integrates robust partnerships, a diverse family of social enterprises, a broad base of community volunteers, and decades of harnessing heartfelt energy from young adults who dedicate a year of service through AmeriCorps.

Through the years, La Puente has blazed a path of innovation to overcome the barriers and challenges of becoming a viable nonprofit organization that can thrive within an isolated, high-poverty region. La Puente's model

Cheslock has been a strong advocate in sharing the story and dynamics of the silent epidemic of rural homelessness, both in Colorado and nationally. He stayed as an anonymous guest in a diverse array of homeless shelters throughout the United States, gaining a deeper empathy and understanding of people's experience of homelessness. As a legacy, Cheslock would like to silently and anonymously leave behind a multitude of changed hearts, individuals who believe in the worthiness of the homeless and the migrant worker, and individuals who make their own efforts to serve and uphold the dignity of the neediest in our communities.

The 2021 Louis T. Benezet Award recipient is Kelvin Taketa ’76 who has had a long career in the nonprofit sector. He is a national, state, and local leader in philanthropy, environmental preservation and protection, conservation, aquaculture, and education. He started The Nature Conservancy in Hawaii, helping to preserve 42,000 acres of habitat. He led government relations, communications, membership and development at its headquarters in Washington, D.C., and founded its Asia/Pacific region work. During his tenure as CEO and president of the Hawaii Community Foundation from 1998

to 2017, the foundation created the Fresh Water initiative, substantially reduced homeless families statewide, and worked on public education reform. Taketa founded a private equity firm aimed at increasing aquaculture production.

The NonProfit Times named him one of the 50 most powerful and influential people in philanthropy and nonprofits three times. In 2017, Historic Hawaii named Taketa Kama’aina of the Year, an honor given to a Hawaii resident. He serves on several boards, including Feeding America, Elemental Excelerator, the Hawaii Leadership Forum, Hawaiian Electric Company, the Stupski Foundation, and the Center for Effective Philanthropy. His nominator stated, “The communities we see today (in Hawaii) would be less if Kelvin were not here making a difference.” He earned a law degree from the University of California Hastings College of Law.

THE GRESHAM RILEY AWARD The Gresham Riley Award recognizes faculty and staff who have made a significant difference to the Colorado College community through outstanding service, commitment, and accomplishment. The continuing concern for and support of students and alumni demonstrated by such individuals ensures the general well-being and future excellence of the college. These accomplishments exemplify the important contributions made by Gresham Riley, the 10th president of Colorado College from 1981 to 1992.

Associate chair, artist-inresidence, and senior lecturer in music Susan Grace is the recipient of the 2020 Gresham Riley Award. A Grammy-nominated pianist and Steinway Artist, Grace has performed solo and chamber recitals, and has appeared as soloist with orchestras in the United States, Europe, the former Soviet Union, Korea, India, and China. She has also performed in numerous festivals around the world. Grace is a member of Quattro Mani, an internationally acclaimed two-piano ensemble with New York pianist Steven Beck.

C OLOR ADO COL L EGE

Grace has recorded for Bridge Records, the Belgium National Radio, WFMT in Chicago, the Society of Composers, Wilson Audio, Klavier International, and Klavier Music Productions. Her recording on the Bridge label of Stefan Wolpe's violin and piano music was listed in the London Sunday Times as one of the top 10 contemporary recordings of 2015 and was also included on the Fanfare "Critics Want List 2016." Bridge Records recently released four new CDs by Quattro Mani featuring American and European composers, all to critical acclaim both nationally and internationally.

She was also awarded the Christine S. Johnson Professorship of Music from 2014-16. In June 2014, Mayor Steve Bach and the city of Colorado Springs presented Grace with the Spirit of the Springs award for her work as music director with the Colorado College Summer Music Festival, now in its 36th season.

Victor Nelson-Cisneros, retired associate dean of Colorado College, is the recipient of the 2020 Gresham Riley Award.

Nelson-Cisneros joined Colorado College in 1981 to serve as the assistant dean of the college. Known for his candid, compassionate, and direct style, Nelson-Cisneros arrived at CC following graduate study in history at both the University of Texas and the University of California. He also spent time on the board of the National Rural Center, working on a governmentfunded grant to explore job growth and equal employment in the non-metro area of the Sun Belt.

During his 31 years of service, he was instrumental in developing inclusion and visibility across the college, and establishing the Riley Scholars Program, which brought over 65 minority faculty scholars to campus. He also played an integral role in founding the Associated Colleges of the Midwest Minority Concerns Committee as well as the ACM Minority Scholars Program itself.

The 2021 Gresham Riley Award recipient is Magdalena “Maggie” Santos ’86, director of Campus Safety and Emergency Management at the college since 2015.

She earned a B.A. in Spanish Education at CC, graduated from the Colorado Springs Police Department Training Academy, completed credits for a M.A. in education at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, and furthered her education through the Center for Creative Leadership and the Rocky Mountain Command College.

Before becoming director of Campus Safety, she served the Colorado Springs Police Department for nearly 25 years following a five-year teaching career in Falcon School District. Using the motto “professional, ethical, responsive, and kind,” she has worked in concert with the Colorado Springs police and fire departments to improve relationships, communications, and response for students, neighbors, and community partners — a blended model that has received national recognition for the college.

Santos also played an active role in COVID response efforts on campus and helped coordinate donations to Penrose Hospital. She believes that policing is not above the community; rather, it is from the community, and she has exemplified that belief through her work.

The Colorado College Alumni Association Council requests your nominations for the 2022 Benezet, Worner, Riley, and Spirit of Adventure Awards.

Do you know an alumnus/alumna, faculty member, or staff member who should be recognized for their contributions to CC, their field of expertise, or to their wider community? If so, we need your nominations.

His role at the college primarily focused on faculty development and student experience, with particular emphasis on inclusion, representation, and opportunity expansion. CC's renowned and celebrated Venture Grants Program grew under his leadership, and he initiated mentoring options for non-tenured faculty, as well as serving as an interim dean of the college for the 2004-05 academic year.

THE LLOYD E. WORNER AWARD The Lloyd E. Worner Award recognizes outstanding loyalty, service, and generosity to the college as evidenced by continuing concern and support for students and the quality of teaching and learning, as well as the general well-being and future excellence of the institution. These attributes characterize the many years of service and effective contributions of Lloyd E. Worner, Class of 1942, who served as a faculty member, dean, and ultimately as president of Colorado College from 1964 to 1981.

Christine Moon Schluter ’65, P’91 is the recipient of the 2020 Lloyd E. Worner Award. Following graduation from CC, she earned M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Pennsylvania.

She served as a college teacher and administrator before spending the last 20 years of her career as a consultant to a wide range of colleges and universities, hospitals, museums, and private schools around the country.

Schluter has served as president of the CC Alumni Association Council (formerly the Alumni Association Board), as a member of the CC Board of Trustees, and on her class reunion committees since graduation. She has also served as president of the board of her homeowners'

The 2021 Lloyd E. Worner Award recipient is Karen Rechnitzer Pope ’70 P’04.

Karen is an art historian who joined the faculty of the Allbritton Art Institute at Baylor University in 2000 and retired in 2015 after influencing many undergraduates in the classroom and on field trips abroad. She was a Boettcher Scholar at Colorado College and earned her BA magna cum laude in art, her MA in art history from Ohio State University in 1973, and a PhD in art history from the University of Texas at Austin in 1981.

association and as vice president of the board of the Sanibel, Florida, League of Women Voters, and assisted various nonprofit boards with planning, board training, etc.

As president of the AAC, she worked to build the diversity of the council and increase the philanthropic support of alumni leaders. Having grown up in very rural Harlem, Georgia, she saw the effects of poverty, poor education, and racism up close. This galvanized her desire to help effect change. She has always believed that education is our best hope, and been passionate about providing educational and leadership opportunities to those who lack them, primarily poor people and people of color.

Consequently, her top priority for giving to CC has always been scholarships, particularly for first-generation students and students of color.

She is the mother of two daughters, Heather and Hilary Van Ness ’91, stepmother of three, and grandmother of eight.

In 1995, she developed Art inSight, Inc., Adventures in Art History, to share her passion for art history with adults through study tours and visits to important art sites and museums in the United States and abroad. Her publications include study guides, exhibition catalog essays, and a book, "Homage to the Creative Spirit: Paintings by Jenness Cortez." Karen has demonstrated her dedication to the college in multiple ways including representing CC at local high-school fairs, hosting dinners for newly admitted students, serving as an alumni volunteer, and serving a six year term on the board of trustees as an elected alumni trustee from 2010 to 2016. She has endowed a scholarship in art history to assist students with deep financial need so that they can have the freedom to focus on the richness of a liberal arts education, which was the opportunity she had as a CC student. Karen continues to be an advocate for the liberal arts and an ambassador for CC.

THE SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE AWARD The Spirit of Adventure Award recognizes an alumnus/a who exemplifies the unique CC experience through a life of intellectual, social, or physical adventure. These attributes are characterized by the late Robert M. Ormes ’26, a Colorado College English professor from 1952 to 1973.

Shawn T. Sears ’98 and Laura Dickerson Sears ’99 are the co-recipients of the 2020 Spirit of Adventure Award. Laura and Shawn cofounded Vida Verde in 2001 to help students experiencing poverty find new ways to see and feel their own potential, their bravery, and their awesomeness in the outdoors. With equity as a cornerstone of Vida Verde's mission, they are committed to examining, understanding, and working intentionally to do their small part in dismantling pieces of racism and institutional injustice.

Vida Verde's core program is a student-centered, threeday, two-night camping trip that is specifically designed to positively and powerfully impact students' social and emotional learning, connection to themselves, the outdoors, and their academics. Vida Verde has led over 600 of these trips, serving over 12,000 students and teachers from low-

The 2021 Spirit of Adventure Award recipient is Jake Norton ’96, a world-famous climber, mountaineering guide, photographer, photojournalist, filmmaker, philanthropist, environmentalist, and motivational speaker. At CC, he designed his major in South Asian history and philosophy and graduated with honors.

Norton began climbing at age 12 and has climbed the world’s most challenging mountains, including Everest, Denali, Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua, and Rainier. He was on the expedition that discovered George Mallory’s remains on

income schools in the San Francisco Bay area. Now Vida Verde also has a follow-up trip in the summers for the same students, once they reach high school age.

The unrelenting focus on the mission and values of the organization have driven its success and joy for 19 years.

Shawn is currently the executive director and Laura is the director of strategy and improvement, and together they support a staff team of 15. They have raised over $17 million for Vida Verde over the years, including funds for the recent purchase of a 23-acre camp property on the California coast, homes for staff, a stewardship endowment, and the construction of a "green" education center on the property.

Laura and Shawn met at CC. After graduating in 1998 and 1999, they both joined Teach For America and were placed in the Mississippi Delta region where they taught public school for two years.

Much of their non-Vida Verde time these days is spent wrangling their sparkling, wild, wonderful, and nonconforming twice-exceptional 7-year-old child.

Everest in 1999. In 2014, he was appointed ambassador to the U.N. Mountain Partnership, where he works to ensure mountains, mountain people, cultures, and ecosystems are recognized in international development goals.

In 2011, he started Challenge 21 in partnership with Water for People to raise funds to combat developmental crises in water and sanitation. His 2013 film “The Water Tower” focuses on Mount Kenya and climate change; “Holy (un)Holy River” (2016) documents the criticality of the Ganges watershed. He has been involved in fundraising, reconstruction, and rehabilitation efforts in the aftermath of Nepal’s earthquake since 2015, and he works with dZi Foundation and Nepal Rising to help with Nepal’s COVID-19 wave. His inspirational talks have stimulated interest in mountain issues around the world. Norton has owned MountainWorld Productions since 1999.

COLORADO COL L EGE

Building on Originality: The Campaign for Colorado College is close to the finish line –

Can you help us cross it?

Building on Originality: The Campaign for Colorado College, CC’s most ambitious fundraising initiative to date, is in its final months, and we need your help to meet our goals.

The campaign has raised over $465 million to support scholarships, Creativity & Innovation, and capital projects like Ed Robson Arena and the new Tutt Library. Now we need your help to reach our goal of 50% alumni participation.

Currently, 45% of alumni have participated in the campaign, and we need 1,430 new alumni donors to meet the challenge. These donors will empower the innovative faculty and staff who make our unique approach to higher education possible, and equip them with the necessary resources to provide the best liberal arts experience to our students. All while also ensuring the CC experience is accessible.

The amount of your gift is not as important as the gift itself.

All gifts count toward the campaign because we know every gift makes a difference for the college and CC students. You can be one of the 1,425 alumni that pushes us to our goal by making a gift of any amount to any designation.

To help us achieve our goal, please share with other Colorado College community members why you give. No matter why you choose to support CC, your gift matters, and sharing your reasons to give with fellow alumni broadens our base of support.

Thank you for your generosity and support of CC! Your leadership is critical to the future of CC, and we appreciate everything you do for the college.

Follow the QR code to give online now or visit www. coloradocollege.edu/givenow You can give through Venmo @CCAnnualGiving! Be sure to include your designation in the memo line.
