Our commitment to computing and technology has resulted in substantial improvements within classroom buildings, residence halls, and administrative offices. While machines will never replace professors, computing is now a way of life for almost everyone at the college. Preparing for an intercultural future We cannot predict the future with accuracy, but we can be sure that it will be more complex than it is today. One of the best ways to prepare students for this world is serious attention to the diversity of human societies. There is no substitute for first-hand experience.
Many students learn about others right here in Colorado Springs.
The majority of our students volunteer time and energy to help others through tutoring programs, senior citizen centers, environmental action, participation in a citywide affordable housing coalition, and at the Shove Chapel soup kitchen. We created the Diversity Council this decade, a campus-wide body that advocates a climate of success for all members of the CC community. While the percentage of minority and international students is not where we want it to be, we are glad to see slow and steady progress. Next time you visit campus, you will sense the excitement generated by these and many other initiatives underway that will make Colorado College an even better place for teaching and learning. And just as the Block Plan resulted from a process of deep self-examination, today's innovations are possible because we continue to engage in regular introspection.
