Friday, the first full day of Homecoming Weekend activities, concluded with a fireworks extravaganza. Music by student bands and a make your own s’mores fest on McHugh Alumni Plaza led up to the fireworks display, which lit up the sky over Stewart Field on a perfect fall night.

Several Colorado College students used a recent block break to assist with the flood clean-up in Manitou Springs. The relief effort was coordinated by the Collaborative for Community Engagement and the Manitou Springs Department of Planning. Coincidentally, the students help clear flood debris from the property of a 1950 CC graduate. Photo by Esther Chan ’16.

Joined by President Tiefenthaler and the Flood Family, Jack Pottle ’77 cut the ribbon on the new Colorado College Frank Flood Memorial Track Friday as part of this weekend's Homecoming activities.

More than 225 students, faculty, and staff got up early to attend the third annual Burritos at Shove, prepared by the Chaplains’ Office staff and interns. Despite Shove Chapel’s architectural grandeur and historic significance, the building is the spiritual heart of the campus, and the chaplains’ office seeks to make everyone feel welcome and at home there. They also host another hospitality event, Muffin Mania, in the spring. Photo by Esther Chan '16.

CC Greek Life hosted a “Day of Remembrance” Support Our Troops letter writing campaign in front of Worner Center during lunch on Wednesday, Sept. 11, with all six fraternities and sororities participating. The cards will be mailed to deployed troops and wounded warriors via the Operation Gratitude campaign. The event, which re-enforces the ideals of service and community within the missions of Greek Life organizations, was well-received by students.
