CMC 50th Anniversary

This history project is still a work in progress with a tentative release date of Summer 2019. Please feel free to explore what is here now and know that the larger project will be available soon. Thank you for your patience. From the beginning, Colorado Mountain College has flourished because local citizens have valued the way education can enliven their communities. In the early 1960s, visionaries sought approval for a college district. These are just some of the stories and pictures from our first 50 years. Many more are in our memories.
