System-wide Events

CONNECT, our annual conference, is a FREE event held in October drawing over 300 instructors, staff, and administrators from CCCOnline, Colorado Community College System (CCCS) colleges, and other Colorado institutions. Each year, our participants draw inspiration, information, and excitement from a special keynote session, general sessions, and an awards ceremony honoring top-performing instructors as well as our Subject Matter Expert and Department Chair of the Year.

As a system we seek to pursue equity and improve the educational experience for all students. Symposium participants will deepen their understanding and ability to engage in difficult equity conversations, and apply practices around campus culture and morale when working in challenging situations and with diverse populations.

This pilot program is designed for individuals from all backgrounds and is intended for those who are interested in preparing themselves for advancement within their careers. CCCS Leadership Academy will support emerging leaders in developing the skills necessary to cultivate innovation, lead transformational change and scale proven ideas. The program will offer networking opportunities, mentorship experiences and will allow participants to learn from experienced leaders within the system.

This is a combined event that honors roughly one-hundred exceptional students from across the system who have excelled in academics, leadership, and community service contributions on their campuses.

Each year, over 900 faculty gather to engage in the work of evaluating, innovating and developing the educational programming within their disciplines.

In 2020, leaders from across the system and beyond helped us pivot to provide this professional development content in a virtual-only work environment. Take advantage of these recorded training series.
