Welcome to

Dear CC Parents and Families,

Welcome to Family Weekend 2014! We are thrilled that you are visiting our campus and learning more about your student’s time at Colorado College, and we share their excitement in welcoming you to their “home away from home.”

While you are here, we encourage you to explore our campus and the Colorado Springs community. We have a lot to offer both inside and outside the classroom, and we have planned programs and events just for you to highlight these opportunities. Walk around campus to get a feel for how your student spends their day, visit with faculty and staff during our academic department and residence hall open houses, attend an artistic or sporting event, enjoy a meal in one of our campus dining venues, or get off campus to one of many local and regional attractions.

Please take a look at the section of this guide that highlights our upcoming Half Block program (p. 26), which we are offering again this year after a wildly successful launch last year. Half Block is a great opportunity for your student to investigate and develop important skills for “life after college.” January may be a great month for bears to hibernate…but not CC students!

Thank you again for visiting campus! We hope you enjoy a little taste of autumn in the Rockies while spending this special time with your student.

Best regards,

Debra ZareckyDirector of Parent and Family Relations

Parent and Family Giving

Parents and Family MembersFor generations, Colorado College parents and family members have given unrestricted gifts to support their students' transformative Colorado College experience. Gifts made to the Parents’ Fund support every part of the CC experience ensuring that the college has the flexibility to innovate, attract the best faculty and students, and meet its highest priorities. As a member of the CC family, you are invited to help support exceptional Colorado College experiences by making an annual gift through the Parents’ Fund.

Your ImpactTuition is a huge investment; however, it covers only about two-thirds of the real costs associated with a Colorado College undergraduate education. The Parents’ Fund helps bridge the gap by supporting the college’s annual operating budget, which helps support every part of the CC experience, including financial aid, faculty and academic programming, athletics, experiential career placement, independent research, outdoor education programs, global study, and our beautiful campus.

Lead the Way: We invite you to participate in our recognition programsParents who wish to give at the leadership level become annual members of one of our giving societies. Parents and family members automatically become members with any gift to the Colorado College Parents’ Fund of $1,874+ annually. In appreciation of this involvement and support, members are invited to special donor-recognition events on and off campus.

The giving society levels are:

The President’s Circle

• $100,000 – plus

• $50,000 – $99,999

• $25,000 – $49,999

• $10,000 – $24,999

The 1874 Society

• $5,000 – $9,999 (Summit)

• $2,500 – $4,999 (Gold)

• $1,874 – $2,499 (Black)

Ways to GiveYou may give by cash, check, credit card (MasterCard, Visa, Discover, or American Express), or appreciated securities. If your employer matches gifts, you may be able to double or even triple your impact. Forms are available through your employer’s human resources department. All Parents’ Fund gifts are tax-deductible.

A planned gift can enable you to support Colorado College, while providing income and tax benefits to you and your family. Through gift planning vehicles such as bequest and life income gifts, you can achieve personal financial goals and make a meaningful gift to the college. CC has a robust charitable trust and charitable gift annuity program.

For more information about the Parents’ Fund and giving to CC please contact: Roger Smith, director of parent and family giving, at [email protected] or (719) 389-6083.
