CC Offers a Safe HAVEN
In a swift response to anti-diversity, equity, and inclusion legislation, Colorado College has created a safe-haven initiative called the Healing and Affirming Village and Empowerment Network, or HAVEN, for any student wanting to leave institutions of higher education in those states. The HAVEN Initiative is the first of its kind in the country.
Leaning into CC President L. Song Richardson’s vision of creating a more just world, she is doubling down on her commitment to create greater access. As other colleges are backing away from confronting this new legislation, CC is taking bold steps to provide an affirming space for students to learn by arranging timely transfer admission to CC.
