MemoryI have many fond memories from the Academy to this point, from the first day nervousness to now having a group that I would consider some of my closest friends. I remember the first group workout where I felt like I was going to collapse afterword. I remember Natalie running to City Market to get a birthday cake for Lucas on his birthday. But my fondest memory is Stu getting some heat after sneaking us into the Spring Valley campus to use the simulator while the building was under construction. My journey through the post academy will remain some of my most cherished memories throughout my life. I am very grateful for the experience and the people that I was able to share it with. |

MemoryI have had so many incredible memories from my time at CMC. From rock climbing in Vedawoo to sea kayaking in the San Juan islands and conquering my biggest fear, my experiences were truly unforgettable. The most memorable for me is definitely my trip to the San Juan islands. Getting to overcome my fear of the ocean and learn the skills to perceiver will be something that I will hold onto forever. It was such an amazing trip filled with laughs, inside jokes (CRABS CLAWS), challenges, and personal growth. I learned a lot about navigation, leadership, and teamwork that has helped me become more confident in my future in the outdoor industry. I will never forget this trip and will hold on to these memories dearly. I can't wait to tell the stories of all of my trips throughout my time with CMC when I'm old and gray looking back on how far I've come. Thanks CMC! |

No hubiera podido lograr esto sin todo el apoyo que me dieron. #RN |
MemoryOne of my favorite CMC memories occurred during lab time. We were in the lab trying to get checked off for blood draws. I was nervous since my professor was watching me insert a butterfly catheter into a mannequin arm. Suddenly, fake blood goes flying everywhere. Once of my classmates ruptured a mannequin arm and covered several of us, including our professors in fake blood. That made me laugh quite a bit and helped get rid of my nerves. |

MemoryMemories, wow, I have so many memories throughout my last four years of nursing school. Memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life, that have helped mold me into the nurse I am today, and the nurse I will be as I continue my career. My memories include; being pushed to be the best person I can be, the importance of learning clinical skills, importance of evidence based practice and the importance of being a life long learner. I will always remember taking my first vital signs, inserting my first IV, looking for a "stool" during my first code, and multiple days studying/laughing/de-stressing while car pooling with my nursing school friends. |

Leadville-Salida | CEPA | GratitudeI would like to thank all my professors who have prepared me for what is next. Not only have they given me a great education but they have also taught me core values that will resonate with me for the rest of my life. I would like to give a special thank you to Kristen Voegtle because without her, I would have no idea what I am doing. She has been my biggest guide during this time and I am very thankful she was there to help me out and give me an overall excellent experience at CMC. |

MemoryI remember my first on-campus class: Public Speaking with Dave Chimovitz. This class opened my eyes to the possibilities and the uniqueness of the Rifle campus. When I first started college, I expected it to be uneventful, boring, and something I would forget about. I am so grateful that Dave's class and the Rifle campus changed my mind completely. I absolutely loved every day in Dave's class and it made me realize how special the Rifle campus is. Everyone is so accommodating and kind. There are so many people that actually care and help students. I laughed every time I was on campus. I also stressed every day too, but it felt good. CMC and Dave's class made me realize how much I care about my education and how badly I am going to work to get it. Thank you, CMC for allowing me to make college memories and thank you, Dave, for making my first class one I will never forget and my favorite class by far. |

MemoryIn my cna class at CMC our teacher, Sara Christen, had to show us a normal day at a nursing home for one of the residents. When we got her in her wheelchair she opened the door and sped down the hall. We all had to chase her down and convince her to come back to the room. While we were chasing her down the hall a few people just watched, listening to all the things we were trying to change her mind with. We were able to get her back in and after that we had a good laugh. |

Broden | Patton | Scott | Parachute | CO | Rifle | CEPA | GratitudeI 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. |
MemorySome 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. |

Thank you. |
MemoryDr. 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. |

MemoryI 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! |

Leadville-Salida | GratitudeI'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. |
MemoryOne 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! |
