CHAMPION Colorado College
What is a City Champion Volunteer?
"When I travel, I am struck by the level of enthusiasm among the CC community and its desire to stay connected. The City Champions program is a vigorously engaged expression of that community." - President Richard F. Celeste
Bob Selig on why he is a City Champion
This is an exciting time for Colorado College. We have embarked on an ambitious campaign to achieve the college's Vision 2010 goals, including our mission to provide the finest liberal arts education in the country.
CC City Champion volunteers constitute a network of talented and energetic representatives reaching well beyond campus boundaries who play an integral role in helping the college strengthen and sustain its Vision 2010 goals. In addition to hosting social gatherings for alumni, parents, and students, CC City Champions help increase the visibility of the college in their area, serve as connectors to their communities by assisting the college with student recruitment, identifying internship and career opportunities, annual giving and Funding the Vision.
Development & Annual Giving:
The Goal: Increase alumni annual giving from 40% to 60% in 2010 and beyond. CC's alumni giving participation hovers around 40% each year. It is currently at 34%. Help us close the gap between our giving percentage and the percentage of alumni who had a wonderful experience at CC! To help increase annual giving in your City, contact Lisa Ellis, Senior Director of Advancement and Director of Annual Giving.
Want to help in other ways?
CC has many opportunities in which Alumni and Parents can volunteer or just connect with others.

The Goal: Five internships in all 10 cities in 2010 and beyond. Contact Geoff Falen, Director, or Andrea Culp, Internship Coordinator, at (719) 389-6893 with internship and career opportunities in your area.
