Summer Break { August 2 - August 23 }

Students of Esther Redmount and Joan Ericson's summer course Japanese in Japan: Economy, Society and Culture, partially funded by a grant from the Japan Foundation, talk over dinner in Tokyo with Ross Whittaker '00, an Asian Studies major. Whittaker has worked for a number of consulting firms, including Anderson Consulting and as vice president of Lehman Brothers, Tokyo, before taking his current position with Credit Suisse Bank.

There’s the Harlem Shake, and then there’s the real Harlem Shake! CC held a panel discussion featuring two scholars who offered historical and cultural perspectives on the dance, followed by a workshop led by four professional dancers from New York. Both the discussion and the interactive workshop were open to students, faculty, staff, and community members. Photo by Esther Chan ’16.

It’s springtime in the Rockies, as students take a break from studying on the lawn in front of Shove Memorial Chapel. The 2012-13 academic year concludes with CC’s 131st commencement ceremony on Monday, May 20, on Armstrong Quad. Photo by Esther Chan '16.

President Jill Tiefenthaler recently visited CC’s Spanish in Spain program, based in Salamanca and now in its 10th year. While there, she had a full schedule of classroom visits, small group discussions with students, and a meeting with the mayor who praised the relationship between CC and the Universidad de Salamanca. Here she relaxes with students in an Internet café — the "Worner Center" in Salamanca. Photo by Salvatore Bizzarro.
