What is it? If you sign up for the program, faculty and staff organizers, members of the Faculty Executive Committee (FEC), Staff Council (SC), and the Office of Institutional Equity and Belonging (IEB) will match you with a faculty member (if you’re staff) or a staff member (if you’re faculty), based on your interests but also with some randomness built in. You and your Building Bridges group will choose some ways to interact.

The basic package is for the staff member to visit the faculty member’s class or engage with their research/outreach in some fun way, and for the faculty member to visit the staff member’s office/workplace or engage with their work in some fun way, and for the partners to have lunch together at Rastall with lunch passes provided by the Dean of Faculty. This could be as little as 3 hours, during work hours, spread over the whole academic year. 

How do I sign up to attend? This program is run on an annual basis and Staff Council send out a sign-up link typically around the start of the academic year. Keep an eye out on your email for how/when to sign up. 

What is it? WOTC has traditionally been a place to find details on operational governance, policies, and events. We’ve broadened it to become a go-to resource for understanding institutional trajectory, empowering faculty and staff to confidently answer:

• What are Colorado College’s priorities right now?
• What is changing, and why?
• What progress is being made, and how is success being measured?
• Where can I learn more, provide input, or get involved?
