Student Research & Internship Symposium
3–5:30 p.m.
Location: Edith Kinney Gaylord Cornerstone Arts Center
The SCoRe (Summer Collaborative Research) and Internship Symposium is the culminating event after a summer of collaborative research and internship experiences conducted by ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï students and faculty as well as through off-campus organizations. It brings the CC community together for a series of short presentations, poster sessions, and discussions across a variety of academic disciplines. The collaborative research presented is funded by the Office of the Dean of the College's Faculty Student Collaborative Grant, departmental funds, internal grants, external research grants, and the Career Center’s Student Internship Funding Program.
HIIT Workout Class
4-5 p.m.
Location: Multipurpose Room, Adam F. Press Fitness Center
Join us in the Adam F. Press Fitness Center to experience one of our many fitness classes on campus! High-intensity interval training, better known as HIIT, consists of short bursts of intense work that typically last between 15 seconds to 4 minutes. These are followed by a quick recovery period and then right back to the tough work.
You’ll work harder than you do when you do a typical cardio workout, but you’ll do it in spurts and then you’ll have a chance to recover and then you'll do it all over again.
Libation Lecture: From Script to Spotlight
5:30–6:30 p.m. (Bar opens at 5 p.m.)
Location: Taste Restaurant, Fine Arts Center
Join us for an exclusive look into how In Her Bones evolved from a story on paper to a full-stage theatre experience. Dive into the origins of the story, explore the challenges of producing a new work (a first for the FAC), and enjoy a sneak peek into the scenic design process—including a research adventure to Colorado’s beautiful San Luis Valley, the show’s setting.
This lecture coincides with the theatre production of In Her Bones, on stage from Feb. 13–March 2, 2025
