Department Faculty Publications and Awards

Theodore Roosevelt Collins Outstanding Faculty/Staff Award

In 1935, Theodore Roosevelt Collins became the first person of color in a noncustodial position at CC. He was a beloved athletic trainer for 35 years, while contributing to the cause of race relations in the Pikes Peak area. This award is given to an exceptional faculty or staff member who is a constant voice for our campus values of inclusion, equality, community, and social justice. 


Congratulations to: 
Jessica Sánchez Flores
Associate Professor, Spanish & Portuguese

 

Este libro considera el trabajo de Roberto Bolaño y Raúl Ruiz, ofreciendo una lectura de sus respuestas artísticas a eventos relacionados al golpe militar chileno del 11 de septiembre de 1973, argumentando que sus intervenciones artísticas coinciden en la importancia del compromiso político a la vez que se mantienen siempre vigilantes y críticos del dogmatismo político y de la mercantilización del arte. Sus obras son parte de un proyecto estético-político compartido que insiste en la necesidad de siempre reevaluar las categorías del pensamiento político en América Latina, en particular en relación con las políticas de la representación, así como con los límites de la memoria histórica.

Glenn Brooks Professorship for Innovation in Education

The professorship is awarded to an exemplary tenured faculty member whose approach to teaching best exemplifies and advances the core mission of Colorado College. 
Congratulations to the next recipient: 
Carrie Ruiz
Associate Professor, Spanish & Portuguese
