HOMECOMING 2020 VI RT UA L DA NC E PA RT Y In true 2020 form, this year’s annual Homecoming became a home-staying. But even with canceled on-campus events, the COVID-19 global pandemic couldn’t keep CC alumni from connecting across the miles. Virtual Homecoming events organized by CC’s Office of Alumni and Family Relations allowed alumni to engage with one another in new ways over Homecoming weekend.
WEEKEND
2021
Plans are currently underway for a combined Homecoming Weekend, Oct. 7-10, 2021, for all 2020 and 2021 reunion classes. The health and safety of our CC alumni, student, faculty, and staff community continues to be our top priority, and we will continue to assess the impact of COVID-19 as we move forward with plans. We hope that having additional classes celebrating together will create an even richer Homecoming experience for all.
HERE’S WHO WILL BE CELEBRATING CLASS REUNIONS IN 2021:
Typically held under the tent on Tava Quad, this year’s Homecoming Dance took a creative spin by delivering music virtually to living rooms across the country. Guest DJ Idris Goodwin, director of the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College, kicked off the event before handing it over to student DJs Sai (Pranav Sai ’22) and Bichonfrisé (Ben Shumlin ’21) from the Sounds of Colorado College. Alumni, as well as current students and CC staff and faculty, tuned in live and danced together from the comfort of their living rooms, dorm rooms, or even on the beach. Some alumni even showcased their dance skills for all later in the evening, as the cameras turned away from the DJs and onto the people enjoying their music.

This year has shown all of us that there is truly no substitute for in-person connections — the smiles, the hugs, the laughs. But, we are thankful for all those
who still chose to connect virtually, share memories, engage with old friends and new, and celebrate the resilient CC Tiger spirit.
