In May, we celebrated together virtually to mark graduation for your class, the Class of 2020. The pandemic has touched our many communities, and we share in your disappointment that your graduation festivities were canceled. This is an incredible milestone and you deserve to be recognized and to celebrate one another fully.
Colorado College continues to respond to the ever-evolving Coronavirus pandemic, and as such we are not yet able to make a definitive plan for Commencement this spring. While we hope to welcome you back to campus in-person, we do not yet know if this will be possible given COVID-19. As we continue to work through possibilities, we will keep you informed as the situation becomes clear.
We hope you enjoy this video, where members of the campus community and beyond share their excitement and pride in the Class of 2020.
Below is the program for the 146th academic year graduation, including the listing of graduates. Although this year’s Commencement ceremony is being postponed until 2021, the college printed and mailed programs to graduates as a memento.

O Colorado College fair,
We sing our praise to you;
Eternal as the Rockies,
that form our western view;
Your loyal sons and daughters
will always grateful be;
The college dear to all our hearts
is our C.C.
O Colorado College fair,
Long may your fame be known;
May fortune smile upon you,
and honor be your own;
Our Alma Mater always,
Your loyal children we;
Together let us face the future,
Hail C.C.
