CMC graduates one of its largest classes ever
Commencement at CMC is always a special day, but this year was different. Not because students wore masks or because they had to physically distance. Different, in that commencement was not just a fleeting moment of joy. It was a triumphant celebration for hundreds of students who overcame hardship after hardship to get to this point.
Students, who in the face of a devastating pandemic, ruthless wildfires and divisive civil unrest, had the courage to push forward and make this one of the largest graduating classes in the history of CMC!

Alumni Association seeking input
We’ve heard from several alumni who have indicated a desire to reconnect with their classmates or instructors. Others have expressed interest in reunions. And many of our talented alumni want to give back, in the form of guest speaking, serving as an Alumni Ambassador or mentoring current CMC students.
Plans are in the works to host some upcoming meet ‘n greets or après ski happy hours. We are seeking additional input from alum on what else they would like to see the Alumni Association offer.
Please send suggestions to
