Colorado Mountain College is in the running for $25,000 to help put a great idea into motion. And we – and students in one of our 
communities – need your support by June 1!
At our Rifle campus this fall we are launching an innovative Career Academy, which will allow high school students to earn a college certificate by taking courses through CMC. We have been selected to compete for these funds to support this much-needed new program through the Aspen Ideas Festival, for their inaugural Aspen Ideas Award.
To vote and comment on CMC Rifle’s project, you’ll need to go to the awards website, register, and log in. To get to the log in page, you’ll need to click through the voting box to the right of CMC’s project idea. Here’s the steps:
Go to award.aspenideas.org, scroll down and click the Visit the Festival 1 challenge button.
Click on the arrow in the box to the right side of CMC’s project to add your vote. You’ll be directed to a page where you can either create an account or log in to an existing account. Just fill out a few short fields to create an account.
After you create your new account, you’ll receive a confirmation email, and can then set your password.
Then go back to the CMC entry to vote. If you click on “Add your comment,” you’ll see the full proposal. Click on the “votes” box, and you’re done!
