Approximately 2,000 high school students attended the Colorado Western Slope College Fair on Oct. 5 in Aspen. Buses, sponsored by CMC, brought students to the fair from 79 rural and mountain communities; some students had to travel for hours and spend the night in Aspen High School’s gym in order to attend.
Representatives from CMC also sat on numerous panels, sharing valuable insights on financial aid, the ASSET bill, support available for first generation students and other options that can help expand access to college for all. Below, CMC President and CEO Dr. Carrie Besnette Hauser, with Aspen School District Superintendent John Maloy and Aspen HS Principal Kimberly Martin, shares the day’s key message.
