  • Spring 2018 Issue
    SPRING 2018 ANNOUNCEMENTS!! CHANGES TO MAJORS! **NEW REQUIREMENTS FOR “ENVIRONMENT &SOCIETY” AND “ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE” ARE LISTED ON CC WEBSITE Henry Fricke (Professor of Geology) will be new Environmental Program Director as of July 1, 2018 Current Paraprof Hanna Ewell is leaving us to pursue a masters in Development Studies at The London School of Economics and Political Science . We all wish Hanna the best :) Steve Harris, JD As a practicing environmental lawyer, Steve’s experi- ences offer unique insights and opportunities for students interested in environmental policy and law -“my instruction has always examined the intersection of politics, advocacy, law, science, government regulation, and real world problem- solving.” Steve explained that as a lawyer, one is “dictated by what clients want to achieve.” Despite spending most of his professional career working on behalf of environmental non- profits and neighborhood groups, he has filed a petition for certiorari in the Supreme Court against the Sierra Club in a Clean Water Act Case about allegedly polluted water dis- charge from a 40 acre plot in Teller County – an old El Paso Gold mining site – into the Roosevelt Tunnel. He was first hired by Val Veirs in 1998 to teach Intro- duction to Environmental Law, shortly after the Environmen- tal Program at CC was initially established. Over the last twen- ty years, Steve has taught over twelve classes: an FYE on Western Water Policy, five site-based capstone courses, covering topics such as the Rio Grande National Forest (Fall 2000) and the Great Sand Dunes (Fall 2003), as well as Environmental Policy. In 2011, he was awarded the Jackson Fellowship for his “Climate, Water and Agriculture in the American Southwest” course.

  • When Nature & Minds Meet
    when nature HIGH & minds meet MOUNTAIN INSTITUTE SPRING 2021 HIGHLIGHTING ALUMNI SUCCESS 1 his winter and spring have been invigorating ones at HMI. Last year, we had to send students home early because of the pandemic. The uncertainty of spring spilled into summer: we did not know if HMI would be able to operate in-person programs at all despite knowing our mission was more relevant than ever. This knowledge motivated us, however, to explore every pathway toward re-opening. Today, campus is alive with energy thanks to TSemester 46 who is taking full advantage of their time together. Further south, HMI Gap cohorts are exploring the desert landscapes of the southwest. And, in March, 100% of our employees received their second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Having these programs operating and fully enrolled despite the ongoing pandemic is a milestone that did not happen by accident—it took lots of planning and determination on behalf of our employees and a mission worth the effort. As we reflect on the importance of HMI during a time like no other, we recognize that the impact of the HMI experience lives on far beyond a student’s time on campus. Students leave HMI with the leadership, communication, and community-building skills to pursue their wildest dreams and make the world around them a brighter place. This newsletter is dedicated to highlighting our remarkable alumni community, and to sharing their pathways of success.

  • Our School & Programs Mission Statement
    CURRICULUM GUIDE HIGH MOUNTAIN INSTITUTE Our School & Programs Our school combines academics and the natural world. We seek to connect ourselves, our students, and our community to the environment in which we live. HMI is not simply an environmental, experiential, or traditional school. We borrow liberally from all three traditions, but also leave ourselves open to the world at large. This allows us to present students with new experiences that they can understand and apply to their lives as a whole. The HMI Semester is an academic and wilderness semester school for motivated college-bound juniors. The HMI Summer Term is a five-week interdisciplinary program that combines academic enrichment and wilderness expeditions in the Colorado Rockies. The Apprentice Program is a professional residency for recent college graduates in traditional and outdoor education. The HMI Gap is a rock climbing and conservation semester for 18-22 year olds that travels throughout the American West and Patagonia. The High Peaks Adventure is an introduction to the outdoors and outdoor adventure for middle school students. Mission Statement The High Mountain Institute engages students with the natural world. Our school boldly unites rigorous intellectual inquiry, experiential learning, wilderness expeditions, and shared responsibility in a strong community. Our students realize their potential—as leaders, independent thinkers, and thoughtful citizens.
