1000 Words: Gov. Hickenlooper visits CMC Breckenridge

On behalf of the college CMC Trustees Patty Theobald and Pat Chlouber, as well as President Carrie Besnette Hauser, welcomed him. Answering questions from Hauser and several others, the governor spoke to staff, faculty, students and community members about higher education’s role in providing workforce training and education in support of Colorado’s economy. He took questions and comments from Colorado State Rep. Millie Hamner, Summit County Commissioners Dan Gibbs and Thomas Davidson, CMC Board President Theobald, Associate Professor Margaret Gilmon and alumna Flor Cruz Valdez, who works as an academic advisor at the college. The conversation touched on the state’s $62 billion outdoor industry and CMC’s role in training the workforce needed to fill those jobs.
