Alumni and Parent Events - Colorado College

9 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Connect with CC alumni and friends in your area, make a difference and share your CC pride with the Boston community!

We’ll be helping the Charles River Conservancy with a beautiful stretch of the river that has been neglected for some time and can use a lot help to improve the visitor’s experience and pedestrian safety. We’ll be working on the riverbank pathway removing invasive species and pruning for bicyclist and pedestrian safety.

Please let Carrah Malone ’98 know if you’ll be attending. Contact Carrah at carrah_m@hotmail.com by April 30.
