CMC ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

Cholla Rose Duir, CMC Class of 2003 & 2019

“My experiences acquiring two degrees at different times through CMC have allowed me to follow my dreams and gain work without the burden of high student loan debt. I felt confident after receiving my associate's degree in Veterinary Technology from CMC in 2003 and worked as a certified veterinary technician for many years. I returned to CMC hoping to work with wildlife and obtained a BA in sustainability studies in 2019. I now help manage the Borderlands Wildlife Preserve in southern Arizona, and I am grateful for the education CMC provided to help me achieve my goals.

Thank you, CMC!”

Adolfo Cardenas Acosta, CMC Class of 2021 and future class of Spring 2023

The 2022 CMC Day at the Colorado Rockies was the first time my family and I had the opportunity to attend a Rockies game, it was amazing.

“We even won upgraded tickets and got to sit behind home plate which was great to see so close, especially since it was our first time! This was all thanks to the CMC Alumni Association which made us feel so comfortable even though we were the newbies.

They even provided food and giveaways for all alumni at the tailgate party. We got to explore Denver, make memories, and experience something new. What else can you ask for!”

Support future alumni, through the Alumni Association Scholarship.

The CMC Foundation is pleased to announce the creation of a CMC Alumni Association Scholarship. CMC alumni know first-hand the challenges that students face living, working and attending college in the high-cost mountain communities that we love to call home. This scholarship allows alumni to support deserving current students as they work to achieve their goals and complete their education. Every gift, every size, counts so please consider donating to help lessen the financial burden many students seek to overcome.

We are pleased to announce that this month the Alumni Association Scholarship will be awarding $2,500 to a local CMC student as they work to obtain their degree.
