Whether in person or virtual, you spent four years living and learning in a fast-paced living and learning community and brought meaning to your studies through dynamic curricular engagements. The lessons you learned reach far deeper than class material, and will continue to serve you as you explore this new chapter. No degree could have prepared you for this past year; there was no prerequisite for the pandemic. You immersed yourselves in virtual and hybrid learning, exploring alongside professors and staff mentors as you found new ways to connect with course material. You found new opportunities to connect with peers and fostered community relationships through co-curricular engagements, closing the distance between you and your peers through virtual meetings and collaborative projects. This was not easy, and there was no guidebook; this year was truly unprecedented. Most importantly, you showed up for one another. You built relationships during a time of separation between your peers, friends, professors, and mentors to grow and strengthen the CC community. You found creative ways to connect, express yourselves, and participate in social activism. You are leaving a legacy, and we will feel your absence. After this long year of physical separation, we are grateful to come together to recognize your strength, resiliency, and achievements as you mark this important achievement. Today, you join thousands of other CC graduates in the ranks of alumni. The CC community is here for you. Colorado College will always be your home; we look forward to welcoming you back time and time again. Sincerely, SUSAN S.

They joined mother’s associations, temperance groups, aboli - tionist societies, and woman suffrage organizations. Although the Civil War did not create activists, it did strengthen them, while opening the door for other women to become activists. The war provided an unprece - dented opportunity for the women of Maine to be actors in the public sphere. Postwar women’s movements in Maine were therefore fueled by their agency on the home front during the war.

    It Is Time For Congress To Take Action And Reform Our Nation’s Immigration Laws: A Plea From America’s Scholars May 1, 2013 The history of America is a history of immigration. Starting with our country’s founding by idealistic newcomers, the waves of immigrants who settled in the United States have continuously added to our culture and national identity. However, America’s immigration system has become out of step with the social and economic needs of our nation and, therefore, we believe policies must change. As university professors from across the United States, we believe that reforming our immigration laws is both the right thing to do and is in our nation’s best interests. As the community responsible for educating the next generation of Americans, we see the harm that a broken immigration system has had on our students and their families. For immigrant students who have studied and grown up in the U.S., we need to ensure that they have the opportunities to continue their education and settle into their careers in the U.S. Similarly, immigrants with credentials and skills already living in the U.S. should have the opportunity to practice their professions here. The positive effects that immigrant students have on our education system are manifold. Immigrant students contribute to the diversity of our classrooms, which in turn has a positive impact on all students. Diversity has been shown to be positively associated with students’ cognitive development, satisfaction with their educational experience, and leadership skills. We are educating these students in the U.S., but the broken immigration system makes it extremely difficult for students to stay and build a life in this country and for U.S.

  • Raise the Minimum Wage He Minimum Wage Has Been an Important Part of Our Tnation’S Economy for 68 Years
    Hundreds of Economists Say: Raise the Minimum Wage he minimum wage has been an important part of our Tnation’s economy for 68 years. It is based on the principle Hard work of valuing work by establishing an hourly wage floor beneath which employers cannot pay their workers. In so doing, the minimum wage helps to equalize the imbalance in bargaining deserves power that low-wage workers face in the labor market. The minimum wage is also an important tool in fighting poverty. fair pay The value of the 1997 increase in the federal minimum wage has been fully eroded. The real value of today’s federal minimum wage is less than it has been since 1951. Moreover, the ratio of the minimum wage to the average hourly wage of non-supervisory workers is 31%, its lowest level since World War II. This decline is causing hardship for low-wage workers and their families. We believe that a modest increase in the minimum wage would improve the well-being of low-wage workers and would not have the adverse effects that critics have claimed. In particular, we share the view the Council of Economic Advisors expressed in the 1999 Economic Report of the President that "the weight of the evidence suggests that modest increases in the minimum wage have had very little or no effect on employment." While controversy about the precise employment effects of the minimum wage continues, research has shown that most of the beneficiaries are adults, most are female, and the vast majority are members of low-income working families.

  • The Known Patriots at the Battle of Kings Mountain October 7, 1780
    The Known Patriots at the Battle of Kings Mountain October 7, 1780 Image Courtesy of National Park Planner at www.npplan.com © 2015 – J.D. Lewis www.carolana.com Note #1 Most who study the Battle of Kings Mountain are certainly aware that the Patriot leaders made a smart choice in leaving the “infantry” behind, and for only “able horsemen” to ride on. What they intuitively “know” – but seem to fail to thoroughly “embrace” is: Almost all “officers” had good horses. Therefore…. Many Patriot “Captains” had few men, sometimes no men, under their command during the actual battle at Kings Mountain. Most historians refuse to accept that at this important event, there were almost more Patriot officers engaged than militiamen, and that this is significant. Majors led as few as two (2) Captains, and many who had no men, or only one to five. It was rare, but some Captains did have more than ten men. Few had their original companies at full strength. It will soon be shown that the companies averaged only 5 men. 2 Note #2 Although the British seized Charlestown and many officers, and they once again devastated both the SC and NC militia at the Battle of Camden, the Patriots constantly kept rebuilding their militia in both states, and they retained their “semblance of order” by continuing the well-known “regiments” and recognized the leaders of all established militia units. Leaders of these well-established and well-known militia regiments agreed to “work with each other” for the common good of all. Ever since the start of the war, Captains attached themselves to other regiments when it was convenient.
