Ginger Morgan: "It's Just Who You Are"

I am happy to share this clip of a recent interview conducted with a long-time member of the Colorado College community, Ginger Morgan.

Ginger - who will soon leave her post as the Associate Dean of Students - reflected on her own spiritual and intellectual growth and shared stories from her time at Colorado College. The full interview audio and transcription will be available in Tutt Library's digital repository in the coming months.

We wish Ginger and her family the best of luck on their new adventure!

Karl Jeffries: "We Have it Hard"

Dear Readers,
I am thrilled to finally share with you some of the work we have been doing these past months. For too long I have felt like we were sitting on stories that needed to be shared. The voices of Colorado College alumni, faculty, and staff who have contributed their memories to the project thus far are inspiring and moving testaments that shed light on times gone by. They are quant, personal, deep, and loving. They are real, hard, unpolished, sincere, and surprising. I hope you find them as engaging as I have. What follows is an edited and condensed version of one of our first interviews. We hope to communicate the experiences of our narrators in an interesting, engaging, and most importantly, accurate way.

As this project continues to grow I look forward to seeing - and hearing - much more from this community's amazing past. I send sincere thanks to all those who have participated in this work so far and hope that you will continue to follow our progress. Without further ado, please take a listen to our first project interview.

Best,
Andrew Wallace

Karl Jeffries came to Colorado College on a scholarship from the small mining town of Urivan in southern Colorado in 1987. If you try to google this place you will find that it doesn't exist anymore. It was designated a EPA Superfund Cleanup site when Karl was sixteen. He moved and graduated from Cortez High school.
