After eight years serving the students, faculty and staff at Colorado Mountain College Spring Valley campus and Glenwood Center, Vice President and Dean Heather Exby is retiring from CMC at the end of the spring.
Colorado Mountain College graduates Keanan Bell, left, and Wendy Avila Figueroa flank donor Paul Bushong at the Spring Valley commencement ceremony on May 8. Both students are recipients of the Fast Forward Scholarship created by Bushong. Bell completed her Associate of Applied Science in Veterinary Technology in May, while Avila Figueroa earned her Associate of Science in Paralegal last December.
Carbondale resident Paul Bushong has pledged $1.5 million as a challenge match and is inviting other donors to join him in supporting academic improvements at Colorado Mountain College’s Spring Valley campus.
“The Promise of Spring Valley” is a $5 million capital campaign launched in 2018. The plan includes the eventual addition of a new 4,000-square-foot nursing education facility and renovation of the student center.
