CMC's Rural Nursing Success Fund kicks off with major grant

The CMC Foundation has recently received a grant from the Johnson & Johnson Foundation through the Johnson & Johnson Center for Health Worker Innovation. The Rural Nursing Success Fund allows CMC to add virtual simulation modules for its nursing students and instructors, and additionally creates a nursing income share agreement fund to provide students with an innovative way to fund their education.

CMC scholarship available for displaced workers

The CMC Responds: Back to Work Scholarship is available to support displaced workers affected by layoffs because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are specifically funding displaced workers who are interested in pursuing BOTH an Associate’ Degree and a Certificate program. The degree and certificate can be in any discipline but they must be pursued together or have the intent of completing both. Students also must meet general COSI eligibility.

If you know any students who may be eligible, please encourage them to apply or send us names to whom we can reach out.

Climate change mural project coming to CMC

The energy nonprofit Community Office for Resource Efficiency (CORE) is creating a mural project that will span three CMC locations (Aspen, Carbondale and Glenwood Springs) to tell the story of climate change.

Titled “Stories of Climate Change/Historias del Cambio Climático,” the multicultural project will debut this spring as the centerpiece of CORE’s third annual “Imagine Climate” project using art to inspire climate action. The project is the result of a partnership with the Inside Out Project, the French artist JR’s global portrait initiative.
