US Under Secretary of Education Ted Mitchell sports Colorado Mountain College’s colors at a recent Rural College Alliance meeting of college presidents in Washington, D.C. Dr. Mitchell was CMC President Carrie Besnette Hauser’s PhD advisor back when she was a graduate student at UCLA. The Rural College Alliance advocates for the 600 rural and tribal colleges in the U.S., with the goal of positively impacting the millions of students, businesses and communities they serve. We’re thankful for the work they do for CMC and college access.
