Alumni Association Awards
One of the most important functions of the Colorado College Alumni Association Council is to recognize the contributions of distinguished alumni, faculty members, and members of the CC community to the betterment of society, to the enhancement of the college and its mission, and to the advancement of CC’s core values. The Alumni Association Council acknowledges these alumni and staff members through four awards (the Benezet, Worner, Riley, and Spirit of Adventure awards) given at the annual awards ceremony during Homecoming Weekend.
