Class of 2024 Gives a Toast to Year's End!

The last day of school wouldn't be complete without the annual "Champagne Showers" robustly celebrated by the senior class!  Dozens gather around the Earle Flagpole in Worner Quad to countdown to the pop of the champagne cork, marking the final day of the Block and of their undergraduate experience. Commencement is on Sunday, May 19 at 8:30 a.m.  Photos by Jamie Cotten / Colorado College.

CC Life

Colorado College recognizes and honors the original inhabitants who first settled in the area and who called the nearby highest mountain “Tava,” the original name given by the Ute people to what is now known as Pikes Peak. At CC, we respect all peoples and strive to grow as a unique and welcoming community.
