Diana	Avila	L		Rifle	CO		Roaring Fork-AS-CB-GW-SV		Phi-Theta-Kappa	Gratitude I would like to thank my family, friends and professors for all of their endless support. These past two years have been challenging and full of strenuous coursework. I could have not done it without the support from all of my loved ones! Los quiero mucho. No hubiera podido lograr esto sin todo el apoyo que me dieron. #RN	Memory One 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.

David	Avila			Aspen	CO	Social Media Links https://www.instagram.com/coloradomtncollege https://www.facebook.com/ColoradoMtnCollege	Roaring Fork-AS-CB-GW-SV		Phi-Theta-Kappa	Gratitude The past four years have been a long journey as I worked towards my Associate of Applied Science: Accounting/Bookkeeping degree. It was a lot of work, but also a great experience, and I will begin CMC’s BSBA: Accounting program in Spring 2021. I love learning and knew I had to keep going because earning my degree is worth it. Many people have helped me achieve this goal and I am glad to have the opportunity to thank them. I want to thank: my faculty, TRIO Student Support Services, Disability Coordinators, and my family. I also want to thank my scholarship donors as I have been fortunate to receive many CMC and community scholarships to fund my education. Some are Elks, Jake Forestor, Aspen Chapel, Alpine Bank, Jim Calaway, CPA, and Arsenault; I am truly grateful for their support. Special thanks to professors James Cleaver, Bennett Bramson, and Amanda Martin. I enjoyed their classes and the knowledge and great skills I learned. I also thank my tutors: Miranda Watson, Denise Moss, Christopher Cox, and James Cleaver. Kearstin Cameron, TRIO SSS Coordinator, has helped with advising, deciding which bachelor’s degree to pursue and weekly meetings to stay on track. I cannot forget to thank my mother who has supported me with my studies. It was a fun surprise that my mom started taking classes towards her associate’s degree when I started at CMC. We even had some classes together, which made for a fun time. CMC has been a great experience.	Memory One of my fondest CMC memories was attending the scholarship luncheons for students receiving Alpine Bank and Jim Calaway scholarships. The luncheons were an opportunity for me to thank them for helping me pay for tuition, books, and other expenses like transportation for traveling from Aspen most days of the week, but I also enjoyed the great conversations we had. I specifically remember lunch with Jim and Connie Calaway both fall and spring semesters of my freshman year. It was a fun time and Mr. Calaway talked to me about the importance of finding my career. I picked the career for Accounting and Computer Programing for my freshman year of college, and I talked to Jim Calaway about it. Another question he asked me was, where are you from? I told him I am from Aspen, Colorado, but I was born in El Paso, Texas. He then shared he was from Houston, Texas. We talked about that and then he also talked to me about the importance of finding balance in one’s life and taking time to relax. Specifically, if I study too much, I should take a break and go have lunch; he did love to have lunch. This advice has stuck with me and I try and make sure I find time to relax and enjoy meals. We always had great conservations at Spring Valley and I miss that he’s not here to have lunch and talk about life but am forever grateful to him and Alpine Bank.

Memory I have a quote book full of memories I could share, and most of them take place in the classroom with my peers and teachers.

Maggie	Friemel	Christine		Glenwood Springs	CO	Social Media Links Https://www.instagram.com/_ma.fr_ https://www.facebook.com/maggie.friemel	Roaring Fork-AS-CB-GW-SV		CEPA	Gratitude I would like to thank my parents who have constantly supported my hard work and goal to complete an associates degree through dual enrollment and helped me whenever I needed it. They constantly encouraged everything I did with CMC which helped me complete the credit hours I have, even if it meant sacrificing my high school spring break or a weekend. I would like to thank my younger sister who has also been a huge support for me. She has continually encouraged what I am doing and allowed me to be her example. I would like to thank all of my friends who have supported and helped me. Especially when I needed someone to laugh or cry with. I would also like to thank everybody who ever helped me during my three years of CMC classes, all the teachers who made the experience great, and to the counselors who helped me with planning and supported my goals. Without all of these people, I would not have been able to be as successful as I was and get as far as I have. Because of all these people I was able to complete my associates degree through dual enrollment.	Memory I have had numerous enjoyable memories from CMC. But, the most memorable ones are from the chemistry labs I participated in - chemistry 1 and 2 with Rod Taylor. The labs also applied the chemistry concepts in enjoyable and memorable ways; like when we exploded balloons, lit bubbles on fire, created voltaic cells, and more. I also enjoyed participating in the Math Awareness Week that has been put on in previous years. It was always very enjoyable and memorable and gave me an opportunity to apply my math background in new and entertaining ways. Other memories include experiences with some of the incredible friends I made while attending classes.	Associate of Science

I feel thankful and blessed with my family, friends, and all the people in my life who are always there to support me in achieving my goals. They inspired and encouraged me to pursue my graduate degree. Had it not been for their motivation and engagement, I do not think I would have ever initiated the process (and - not which) I am so sincerely thankful for their support. It’s been a fun and challenging journey, and this is the beginning of many goals to come. Thank you for your time, your patience and your love. “No one who achieves success does so without acknowledging the help of others.“ – Alfred North Whitehead	Memory I want to take this time to thank everyone at CMC: Teachers, Advisors, Fellow Students, Front Desk staff, Everyone!!!

Came back to "Finish what I Started for the 50th Anniversary" completing my Associate Degree in General Studies this year. I'm so thankful for the knowledge, grace, wisdom, and ADVENTURE that CMC has instilled in me. I'm a proud Eagle, my older brother is an Eagle and we both work in the Outdoor Recreation industry in the Roaring Fork Valley. Through our vast experiences in the "Wilderness Studies Program" under Bruce Kime, our biggest mentor, we've enriched the lives of thousands of people who seek us out for Adventure as professional outdoor leaders in this outstanding community. We both run successful outdoor oriented businesses in the Glenwood Springs Area, we're "lifelong learners" and CMC has provided us with the skills to navigate the competitive industry in this great community successfully. With a perspective of first hand, real world experiences through the curriculum we had access to at CMC, we're able to remain successful entrepreneurs and leaders in this industry. I look forward to participating in many more "Continuing Education" and life enrichment courses and classes as well as abundant outdoor recreation opportunities from this world class educational institution.	Memory On a "Mountain Orientation" trip, my very first class at Colorado Mountain College" while still in High School, my brother was leading a group and one of his students got lost while on a hike. I was in Bruce Kime's group since I was still just a "kid" at only 16 years old, which Bruce was slightly concerned about, so he kept me close. The call went out to the group that there was a lost student and it was an immediate call to action. All the instructors and student leaders rallied together found the lost student within a few hours, and resulted in one of the most "teachable moments" I've ever had. After a 16 year hiatus in my College education at Colorado Mountain College, I returned to CMC to "Finish what I started" after they sent me a flyer offering 50% off my classes to do exactly that. I really struggled to perform at a college level in many classes, had troubles with the technology aspect of being a student in a new millennium and had difficulties in this rapidly changing environment along with the age gap between me and most of the traditional students. In addition, I'm disabled with a chronic stomach illness called "Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome." However, the foundation of education that I originally gained from CMC gave me the grit and tenacity to persevere and complete my degree.	Associate of General Studies	Outdoor Recreation Leadership

Memory I will miss having movie nights when all my friends don't have work so we feast on snacks and laugh the night away. Late night walks through town and going up to Strawberry Park for a dip.

Carolina	Hoffman	Rachel		New castle	CO	Social Media Links https://www.facebook.com/carolina.hoffman.18	Roaring Fork-AS-CB-GW-SV			Gratitude I want to start and pray this verse from the bible. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: for thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. This verse in the bible got me through every day we all should forgive those that have wronged us. Today, I am so thankful for my family and friends and their word's of encouragement along the way! It's our graduation day! Congratulations, everyone, we have made it this far. Every day we kept thinking about our goals and how bad we wanted to accomplish graduating and here we are today. Great Job we did it!	Memory I remember when I met Brad for the first time. All of us were in the theater class. He said, "come on in guys, Everyone sit in the first row of seats." I heard him share his stories about the plays he did and acted in. I love that class because I learned things about acting and theater that I never knew before, now I still want to be in the theater community!! I learned so much from all my classes and teachers. Glad I chose Colorado Mountain College and now I'm looking forward to the future and all that I'm able to accomplish!	Associate of General Studies

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.

Andrey	Klepanchuk		Jr.	Mukilteo	WA		Roaring Fork-AS-CB-GW-SV			Gratitude I didn't anticipate for my time at Colorado Mountain College to fly by so quickly. Looking back, I'm thankful for the time I spent at the Aspen campus. During these past few years, I've enjoyed all my professors and courses. However, two particular professors stood out: Tom Buesch and Bennett Bramson. I took five courses from Tom, all spanning throughout my time at CMC, starting with Study of Poetry and ending with Introduction to Film Art. Why did I enjoy Tom as a teacher? Because he loves to teach! Not only does Tom have a vast knowledge in Arts and Humanities, but semester after semester he continues to love teaching his various courses. I now appreciate poetry, classical music, film art, among other things. Before Tom retires, I make it a goal to attend another one of his courses. Thank you, Tom. There is also Bennett Bramson, who is an inspiration. Throughout the two business courses from him, I learned not only business advice, but valuable life lessons. Thank you, Bennett. To conclude, my time at CMC was special and I'm happy I attended. Thank you!		Associate of Arts

The wonderful staff and RAs at Spring Valley who were always there for everything.	Memory There are too many to write here, so here are a few. I loved studying, hanging out, and watching movies with my friends. It really felt like the time went by too fast.

I would like to give a special thanks to my children, Eli, Kayden and Kayleigh, who had to put up with me being away at class or busy studying. There were many nights when I missed dinner and our bedtime routine but they always understood how important school was to me. They are my biggest motivation and I couldn't have done it without their support and understanding. Last but not least, I would like to thank my husband, Nino, for always lifting me up and being my biggest supporter.

Some of my greatest memories would be all student activities like going to the hot springs, or going to the Glenwood Adventure Park.

Through all of my struggles and achievements I am so proud of myself and forever grateful for everyone who has helped me; and to all of the astounding friendships in school, thank you all for making me more assertive with myself. This was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity and I will always cherish the good times.		Associate of Applied Science	Criminal Justice

Alexa	Voorhees	Michelle		Weston	FL		Roaring Fork-AS-CB-GW-SV		Phi-Theta-Kappa	Gratitude I would like to thank Erin Beaver and Gretchen Hayduk for being my greatest helpers and inspirations over the course of my college career. I am so honored to have been their student, mentee, and friend. I enjoyed every literature assignment, Creative Writing Club meeting, academic advising session, and intellectual conversation. I will carry their wisdom wherever I go. I would also like to thank Kearstin Cameron for being an incredible voice of reason during my first two years as a college student. She helped me stay organized when I felt as though the world was falling apart around me. She helped me find a direction and then guided me toward my next destination. I would be lost without her. Kearstin, and her dog Charlotte, are always a great source of happiness and reassurance in my college life.	Memory My most fond memories are located in Quigley Library's fireplace room with my Creative Writing Club. I co-founded this club with Kelly Kirby, another student, and with the help of Erin Beaver and Gretchen Hayduk as our academic advisors. I met all of my friends at CMC through this club. Meetings were always a great time to be artful in a space without judgement; to laugh and listen to like minded individuals. I was made a better writer and better friend with each meeting. I love those girls with all my heart, and will never forget how wonderful it was to enjoy writing and the sharing of ideas for an hour and a half each week.	Associate of Arts
