The Homecoming Dance is Back, and Better Than Ever!
CC’s 150th Extravaganza took place Saturday, Nov. 2, 2024 in CC’s Ed Robson Arena.
For a century and a half, Colorado College has fostered intellectual curiosity, academic excellence, and a deep appreciation for doing things differently.
In the spirit of doing things differently, get ready for a celebration unlike any this campus has seen!
Saturday, Nov. 2, during Homecoming Weekend, we commemorated CC’s remarkable 150-year journey and recognized the generations of students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members who have contributed to the college's enduring legacy of excellence with a not-to-be-missed EXTRAVAGANZA!
The 150th Extravaganza featured a live band, DJ, casino games, dancing, and an after-party drone show. The perfect kick-off to the next 150 years of CC.
