CELEBRATING THE 152ND ACADEMIC YEAR

SENIOR CLASS MOTTO

“You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time.”

—Angela Davis

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Colorado College occupies the ancestral homelands and traditional territory of the Ute People, as well as Jicarilla Apache, Arapahoe, Cheyenne, Comanche, Kiowa, and Pawnee Nations. All were forcibly removed to reservations. We affirm that early United States national policy was designed to breakdown Indigenous communities, destroy cultural identities, and outlaw traditional religious practices to clear a path for non-Indigenous settlement. Despite that, Indigenous Peoples are still here today, resilient, thriving, and vibrant citizens or descendants of 574 U.S. 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 original people of the land you are on and continuously seek ways to act in solidarity with them.

LIFT EVERY VOICE AND SING

Song by Rosamond Johnson and James Weldon Johnson

Lift ev'ry voice and sing,

Till earth and heaven ring,

Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;

Let our rejoicing rise

High as the list'ning skies,

Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.

Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us;

Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;

Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,

Let us march on till victory is won.

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

Audience: Please join us in singing

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.

SENIOR CLASS GIFT

Leave your mark on CC by supporting Tigers for Tomorrow 2026: the Senior Class Giving Campaign! This year, we the Class of 2026 are rallying behind the CC Food Pantry Fund. Every dollar donated to the CC Food Pantry Fund translates directly into shelf stable meals and essential supplies made available to students for free, so every Tiger has the fuel they need to succeed. But your legacy is yours to define: a donation of any amount to ANY area of campus counts toward the Senior Giving Campaign. So, whether you end up supporting the CC Food Pantry, your major's departmental fund, or a CC athletic team you feel passionate about, let's show our commitment to uplifting the CC community, together. Define your legacy and support the Tigers of Tomorrow!

Share your experience on social media: #ColoradoCollege2026

Dear Class of 2026,

You have arrived at a milestone of which you should be very proud. Your graduation from Colorado College marks the culmination of years of sustained focus during a time of rapid change. Block by block, you encountered the cycle of challenge, reflection, and reengagement—skills that now equip you for lives of steady purpose and meaningful contribution.

Your education has unfolded across labs and studios, seminar discussions, and field research. It’s come to life on the stage and on the field. It’s been bolstered by community service, internships, and eye-opening experiences right here in Colorado Springs and across the world. Along the way, you have learned to connect ideas across disciplines, engage constructively with those who see the world differently, and approach uncertainty with confidence grounded in experience. Those habits of mind and action will remain with you long after Commencement.

The Block Plan has also taught you something increasingly rare: how to be present. In a world engineered to fragment attention, fully showing up for one another is what transformed a shared academic calendar into a genuine community. Together, you discovered that meaningful learning requires both independence and collaboration— the willingness to ask difficult questions and the responsibility to work toward solutions that strengthen the common good.

As you leave this place, know that your education is not an endpoint, but a foundation for continued growth and informed action. The world will ask much of you. You are ready for it.

Congratulations, Class of 2026. We look forward to the many ways you will shape what’s possible.

With pride and gratitude,

MANYA WHITAKER President

COMMENCEMENT

Dee Bradley Baker ’86

The College is pleased to welcome Dee Bradley Baker '86 back to campus to deliver the 2026 Commencement address. Baker is one of Hollywood’s most accomplished and versatile voice actors, with a career spanning more than three decades across television, film, video games, and live-action productions.

Baker earned a BA in Philosophy at Colorado College, complemented by studies in German, biology, and art. His time at CC also included significant choir, singing, and stage performance, experiences that helped shape the artist he would become. He is a passionate advocate for a liberal arts education and sees a well-fed, curious mind as a practical advantage in a rapidly changing world.

Baker first drew wide attention as the voice of the rock god Olmec on Nickelodeon’s Legends of the Hidden Temple, and soon after helped bring iconic Looney Tunes characters back to the big screen as Daffy Duck and Taz in the original Space Jam. Since then, he has become one of the most in-demand performers in the industry.

His extraordinary acting range is on full display in Lucasfilm Animation’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars, where he voices Captain Rex and the clone troopers—crafting each as a distinct individual. He expanded that feat in Star Wars: The Bad Batch, portraying all five members of the titular squad.

Among his best-known roles are Perry the Platypus (Phineas and Ferb), Klaus and Rogu in American Dad!—part of his recognition as a twice Emmy-nominated performer—and multiple characters in SpongeBob SquarePants, including Bubble Bass. He is also renowned for creature and animal vocal performance, including Appa and Momo in Avatar: The Last Airbender. More than half of his work is non-human vocal performance.

His game work includes Gravemind in the Halo series, Variks in Destiny, and Hammond (Wrecking Ball) in Overwatch. He also provides Eagly’s vocalizations in James Gunn’s Peacemaker. Outside the booth, Baker mentors performers through his free website iwanttobeavoiceactor.com and is an avid Halloween yard creator and bug photographer.

HONORARY

Christopher Benoit ’03

Christopher Benoit ’03 is an attorney who has been shaped by the communities and mentors he has worked alongside throughout the Americas and has put that training to work both locally and internationally. After graduating from CC, Benoit accompanied genocide witnesses in Guatemala with NISGUA, organized in various worker centers in the U.S., and worked in Mexico with ProDESC defending communities affected by unscrupulous mining practices and forced labor. These experiences drew him to the University of Washington School of Law and to practice on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Based in the borderlands since 2009, Benoit and community partners founded a worker-led organization that changed state wage theft laws. With his law partner, Lynn Coyle, he exposed failures in the El Paso Police Department's use-of-force oversight, resulting in systemic changes.

As border enforcement intensified, Benoit’s practice changed. Benoit’s FOIA litigation uncovered surveillance of human rights lawyers, earning him and his client the Society of Professional Journalists’ Sunshine Award in 2022. In 2019, he and Lynn obtained a ruling putting ICE on notice of substandard medical care for hunger strikers. That fight continued alongside the ACLU of New Mexico in 2023, where litigation brought to light the truth behind the death by suicide of a young man at a private facility where inspectors had flagged critical safety failures.

In the last two years, alongside co-counsel, Benoit investigated deaths in expanding detention facilities, secured one of the first federal habeas wins challenging the unlawful detention of a DACA recipient, and forced the first evidentiary hearing on the government’s use of the Alien Enemies Act, winning release for a family facing deportation to El Salvador’s CECOT prison. He has also worked to ensure robust legal defense for immigrant rights organizations facing criminalization.

Benoit exemplifies the application of a liberal arts education in service of building community and power for the most vulnerable.
