I want to acknowledge the support of my family, my professors, and my clients. My family gave me stable environment to learn. My professors have supported my academics and led me to the right path whenever I get lost. My clients have given me their utmost support and encouraging words to push me toward my goals. I'm so blessed to have all of that in my life!	Memory Over the years, there has been so many memorable moments in each of my classes and with all of my peers. We have shared happy moments, sad moments, and most importantly food together. We sat in class and joked like it's a hangout, but have also guided one another when one is lost. I am grateful to have met the people in my class. Not only did we create friendships, but we have created connections for the future.	Associate of Arts	Business

Russell	Parker	J		Leadville	CO		Leadville-Salida			Gratitude Thanks for the support. Thank you internet, mom, instructors and employees! Thank you affordable education. In all honesty I never thought I would pursue a higher education. It gave me pride to go to school in the town I'm from. It made me prideful because it's a nice ass school! I am optimistic about my future education and though I only got a Real Estate degree, I'm thankful and proud of that. Thanks CMC and thank you Lucy for being a great tutor.	Memory I got stranded in Glenwood Springs and got to reconnect with an aunt that I haven't seen in 10 years.	Occupational Proficiency Certificate	Real Estate
Broden	Patton	Scott		Parachute	CO		Rifle		CEPA	Gratitude I would like to thank my parents for supporting me in my passion to become a welder and I would like to thank my teacher Mr. Shoup for teaching me the skills and experience on becoming an amazing welder and for continuing to work with me when I was demoted down.	Memory Some CMC memories in the welding shop that come to mind are the times when I would be in charge of the music and I got an A for the day if I knew certain artists and songs. Another funny/embarrassing memory is the time I got demoted from stairs back to fillets in the first semester. One final memory I have in the CMC welding shop is the last day of welding before Spring Break (unaware that it would be my last day in the shop for the semester) when Mr. Shoup came to run some beads for me at my station. When he picked up my stinger the wire feeding the stinger fell out, causing sparks to fly all over the place which led to the rest of the class period fixing the wiring and stinger for my welding machine.

Marie	Proctor						Rifle		Phi-Theta-Kappa	Gratitude Thank you to each and every one of my educators for supporting, influencing and encouraging my development. You are all inspiring and have made a deeply profound impact. I treasure each and every one of you. Dr. Von Achen, thank you for the remarkable introductions to Francis Bacon and Frederick Douglass. Gratitude also for your support through grant exploration. I’ll always be proud to be called a nerd by my peers for expressing my love of annotation. Laura Bruch, thank you for creatively encouraging profound insights into the philosophical and cultural experience of the world. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect if it were written in the stars. Greta Jorgensen, thank you for your honesty, strength, and endless humor. You truly developed a sense of community and fostered the importance of active participation in improving the world. Kristin Carlson, your ecstatic joy throughout Public Speaking will always have me excited to share my voice. Joe Polise, thank you for your supportive and engaging math instruction and communication throughout the semester! Your distance learning videos are the ultimate in educational tutorials. Julia Conrad, thank you for your always wonderful feedback, encouragement, and thoughtful opportunities to engage in knowing thyself. Lastly, and with special attention, Erin Donovan. There are not enough languages in the world, artifacts to unearth, genetic facets to explore, or ceremonies across the continents to express the depth of my gratitude to you for your above and beyond support throughout this very meaningful journey. Thank you.	Memory Dr. Ruffley and the Sagebrush Rebellion. The amazing personal growth I experienced during the first Acting course at the Rifle campus. The lobby, auditorium and gym composed a dynamic classroom for expression and discovery with a gifted instructor and a very talented crew. Professor Westlake, that summer Astronomy course was truly stellar. I’ll always remember seeing Saturn for a microcosm of an instant just before my telescope took a tumble and never worked again. Forever looking forward to driving out to ponder the cosmos under clear mountain skies... Every single email communication and telephone call with academic advisors, financial aid, and the front line staff at the Rifle campus made me grateful to get to learn at CMC. You are all amazing women who have the ability to represent and support a large and ever-changing community. Thank you. The end of semester potluck during the final week of Shannon Campbell’s ECE class was the most deliciously heartwarming experience. It made me realize that sharing my educational experience with all of the wonderful people at CMC felt just like being at home.	Associate of Arts	Anthropology

With EMT being a hands on profession, the challenges of meeting the curriculum and trying to engage students wasn't easy. I appreciate Jonathan Burk for all the hard work and his steady adaptability. Thank you.	Memory I recall a lesson that not every patient will be found in the most ideal situation. To emphasize this, a dummy was outside, late at night in a snowstorm in Leadville, over an embankment, wrapped around a tree, and in approximately 3 feet of snow. My patience and toughness were simultaneously tested as my group stood in the waist-deep snow asking questions of the instructor while trying to care for the patient and gingerly moving them. Meanwhile many parts of my body were going numb and snow was melting inside of my boots. What a great team-building exercise!	Occupational Proficiency Certificate	EMT Basic

Kesley	White			Leadville	CO	Social Media Links https://www.instagram/thetrailof_ondine	Leadville-Salida			Gratitude I'm beyond grateful for all the help and support I've received along the way through my time at CMC. I want to share a special thanks to Cooper Mallozzi and Trey Shelton for being the first people that inspired me to chase my goals at the college. They have showed me nothing but support and have always fueled my fire and helped me stay on the right track for my career goals. I also want to thank Kent Clement for being a huge inspiration in my life in all elements of my career, goals and ambitions. He has been a huge help in this process and one of my biggest motivators. A very special and huge thanks to Kip Davis and Cheyenne Chaffee for pushing me past limits I've never been to. They have lit a fire inside of me that will never burn out and because of my courses with them, I am confident in my choices for my career after graduation. I will be forever grateful for the knowledge and support and for kicking my butt out in the field so I can perform my best. The biggest shout out goes to my family for always being there and supporting me no matter what. The five of us did this together and I love them so very much. Another special thanks to Brooke Bowser, my best friend. Without her, I don't know how I would have done. She has become my sister.	Memory One of my favorite moments with my time at CMC would have to be pooping in a toilet on a cliff underneath our camp on the Sulphide Glacier in North Cascades National Park for my Mountaineering course. The view was great, but the conversations were even better! Coming to CMC I was really nervous to be living in the dorms, but meeting my dorm roommate Brooke Bowser was easily one of the very best things that has ever happened to me. We have become best friends and sisters, and I couldn't be more grateful to have met someone who pushes me and supports me like she does. Our time in the dorms were ridiculous and an absurd amount of fun! Sea Kayaking in Washington with Kent Clement was one of the best experiences of my life! The chance of taking a big trip with him was one of the most rewarding things at my time at CMC. Navigating 84 miles of the ocean and exploring islands was such a rewarding experience. I am coming out of college with an abundance of knowledge in fields I never imagined myself being in!	Associate of General Studies	Outdoor Recreation Leadership
