SENIOR CLASS MOTTO

“A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.” — Greek Proverb

COLORADO COLLEGE ALMA MATER

(“O Colorado College Fair”)

Words and music written in 1953 by Charles Hawley ’54 and Professors Earl Juhas and Albert Seay

O Colorado College fair, We sing our praise to you; Eternal as the Rockies, that form our western view; Your loyal sons and daughters will always grateful be; The college dear to all our hearts is our C.C.

O Colorado College fair, Long may your fame be known; May fortune smile upon you, and honor be your own; Our Alma Mater always, Your loyal children we; Together let us face the future, Hail C.C.

Audience: Please join us in singing.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Colorado College occupies the ancestral homelands and traditional territory of the Ute people, as well as Apache, Arapahoe, Cheyenne, Comanche, Kiowa, and Pawnee nations. All were forcibly removed to reservations in southwest Colorado, Utah, and Oklahoma. We affirm that early U.S. national policy was designed to break down Indigenous communities, destroy cultural identities, and outlaw traditional religious practices to clear a path for nonIndigenous settlement. Despite this, Indigenous peoples are still here today, resilient, thriving, and vibrant citizens or descendants of 574 federally recognized sovereign tribal nations plus those from north and south of the U.S. borders and beyond. We encourage all people to learn the names and the complex histories of the original people of the land you are on and continuously seek ways to act in solidarity with them — today and always.

SENIOR CLASS GIFT

Leave your mark on CC by contributing to the Senior Class Gift. The Class of 2025 has chosen to support the Annual Fund for Financial Aid — a fund that helps ensure future students have the same opportunities we’ve had, no matter their financial situation. Whatever cause on campus you choose to give to, your contribution counts toward the Senior Class Gift and shows your commitment to making CC better for the next generation. Let’s finish strong and make a difference together. Leave your legacy at CC — every gift, no matter the size, makes an impact!

Dear Class of 2025,

Congratulations! You have reached a milestone of which you should be very proud — your graduation from Colorado College. You are leaving this place a different person than when you arrived. The relationships you’ve formed and your immersive experiences both in and out of the classroom have shaped you along the way.

As students of the liberal arts, you’ve discovered that the world rarely offers easy answers. You’ve wrestled with complex ideas and weighed competing truths. You’ve explored unfamiliar perspectives not only to debate them, but to understand what drives them.

You’ve carried what you’ve learned beyond the classroom, testing ideas through research, internships, and work in the broader community. You’ve pursued passions in athletics and the arts — finding what brings you joy so you can bring the best version of yourself to your work, life, and relationships.

You did all of this in an environment that demanded focus and adaptability. Through the Block Plan, you learned to completely immerse yourself in a subject, to adapt quickly as each new block reshaped your routine, and to find solutions to pressing challenges at a fast pace. These skills will serve you well — both personally and professionally — as you now pursue all life has to offer.

Thank you for contributing so much to this community, and for putting yourself out there, block after block. CC is forever better for it!

Your CC experience now enters a new chapter as you join our global Tiger alumni family. This college will remain a part of you in so many ways — and you will carry its legacy forward.

Sincerely,

JEFF KELLER ’91, P’23 Chair of the Board of Trustees

DR. MANYA WHITAKER Interim President

COMMENCEMENT

Mike Shum ’07

Mike Shum ’07 is an award-winning independent filmmaker specializing in documentary cinematography and journalism. Born in Denver, Colorado, to immigrant parents from Hong Kong, Shum was shaped by navigating multiple cultural perspectives through his Asian American upbringing. A 2007 graduate of Colorado College, he majored in Sociology while also pursuing minors in Film Studies and African Studies.

Shum’s education laid the foundation for his career starting out in video news reporting. He covered stories ranging from the rise of the M23 rebels in the Democratic Republic of Congo to a survivor of an ISIS massacre in Iraq, which garnered him his first News & Documentary Emmy nomination for Outstanding Interview. He has witnessed the most pressing global events of the past decade with The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Time, and National Geographic.

His body of work spans broadcast television, investigative journalism, and feature documentaries. As a producer and director of photography for the film, Hondros, he paid tribute to the life and work of war photographer Chris Hondros, which was distributed by Netflix following its premiere at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival. His collaborations with Al Jazeera Witness and PBS Frontline have examined a broad range of critical issues, including conflict, climate change, and political polarization. Shum’s work has been recognized with nominations and awards from the National News & Documentary Emmys, the NAACP Image Awards, the National Association of Black Journalists, the Tribeca Film Festival’s Audience Award, and the Nieman Foundation’s Worth Bingham Prize.

Shum returned to Colorado Springs for the 2023 Spring Semester as a visiting instructor in Colorado College’s Sociology Department. He was later awarded the Colorado College Alumni Association’s prestigious Spirit of Adventure Award for his commitment to a life of intellectual, social, and physical adventure.

In 2024, Shum was awarded the Nieman Fellowship for Journalism at Harvard University, where he is exploring the future of journalism and examining how storytelling can forge public trust and accountability through documentary film.

HONORARY

Jeff Bieri

Jeff Bieri dedicated 35 years to KRCC, Colorado Public Radio’s Colorado Springs station, retiring in January 2025. A Colorado native, he ventured briefly to New Mexico during his “wandering years” before his love for music drew him to KRCC in 1989. Over decades, he shaped the station as music director and program director, hosting a range of programs — from music shows to NPR’s Morning Edition and All Things Considered. His voice filled nearly every day-part slot, showcasing his versatility.

Bieri fueled KRCC’s mission with zeal, leading more than 100 membership drives to rally public support. His community focus anchored KRCC’s 2020 merger with Colorado Public Radio, earning him a promotion to station manager. In that role, he solidified the station’s vital place in Southern Colorado. He enriched Colorado Springs’ culture, having hosted the Blue Plate Special, a lunchhour blues show that grew into the beloved Blues Under the Bridge festival. He also produced numerous live concerts, and co-founded the MeadowGrass Music Festival, a Memorial Day weekend staple at La Foret in Black Forest. His efforts wove music and community into KRCC’s fabric. His retirement closed a chapter, but his legacy — rooted in musical passion, community engagement, and steadfast commitment to public broadcasting — endures.

Ben Sturgulewski ’08

Ben “Sturge” Sturgulewski grew up on a rugged and remote island in Alaska’s Aleutian Chain, inspiring a life dedicated to the exploration of the world’s wild side and the people who call it home. Ben has created a portfolio of awardwinning short films that have appeared in festivals around the globe, earning dozens of awards for cinematography, editing, creativity, and storytelling — as well as overall grand prizes and audience awards. He has directed, filmed, and edited acclaimed content for clients such as Patagonia, Arc’teryx, YETI, Rivian, NFL Films, and Red Bull. Ben has produced a library of Vimeo Staff Picks, and his ski film Valhalla was recently named “The Greatest Ski Film of All Time” by Outside magazine. His collaborations with brands, agencies, production houses, and passion projects continue to take him on new and unexpected adventures around the world. Champions of the Golden Valley, his first feature documentary, follows a ski team in Afghanistan both before and after the collapse of the country. The film had its world premiere at Tribeca Film Festival in 2024, and has since screened at dozens of renowned film festivals worldwide, amassing more than 20 jury and audience awards. When not on the move, Ben splits his time between the mountains of Anchorage, Alaska, and Boulder, Colorado.

Steve Wood ’84

Steve graduated from CC in 1984 and has worked in Colorado Springs on a variety of community projects since then, including community work with at-risk teens through Workout Ltd., outdoor experiential education through the Colorado Outward Bound School, and art education with CC’s Bemis Art School. In 2003, Steve co-founded the nonprofit Concrete Couch where he still works today. The organization’s mission is creative community building, set in a CC block structure. “The Couch” has served thousands of people in the area through free programming that connects and improves our community. The CC community is actively involved in Couch programming, from students to faculty and staff, retired staff, and alumni.
