Our Business After Hours event is hosted by Elmers Glass of Rifle. It’s designed to bring together professionals in a relaxed, after-work setting to build relationships, exchange ideas, and discover potential business opportunities.

It’s a great chance to make new connections, learn about what other local businesses are doing, and even drum up new business for your own company.

REMATRIATING THE ROCKIES

How do we shift environmental conservation toward a more equitable and balanced future? Join our annual virtual conference highlighting the work of graduating students in Sustainability Studies and Ecosystem Science & Stewardship programs. Featuring an opening address by CMC President, Dr. Matt Gianneschi, with a closing presentation by our Keynote Speaker, Gemara Gifford, M.S, who will share her research on the pathways and barriers to rematriation in the Southern Rocky Mountain Region. “Rematriation” is a movement supporting the direct return of lands to Indigenous Peoples, the return of buffalo to their homelands, and the reclamation and resurgence of Indigenous Knowledge, cultural practices, languages, and lifeways.
