Message from the President
Welcome to the 2021 CCA Confluence Conference and our opportunity to highlight the
exemplary academic work of our amazing students.
Students - Congratulations to all of you for living the
theme of the conference this past year. You
have persisted! You have prevailed! And you are about
to provoke! This cross disciplinary conference will
showcase the work of CCA students in every pathway and
across all disciplines at the college. It will highlight the
ways that our students are realizing their potential; and
that is no small feat in a year of constant challenge,
uncertainty and disruption.
Many thanks to all of the faculty and instructors who have
mentored, supported, engaged and challenged these
students on their academic journeys. You have believed
in them and this conference is evidence that they also
believe in themselves. This coming together, this
confluence of learning, growth, confidence, and
achievement is a result of your collective efforts and hard
work. So, students, we are participating today to learn
from you and to celebrate your scholarship and your
success.
Thanks for taking your own learning up a notch – and for being willing to share it with others.
That is what creates a community of scholars and it’s one of the best aspects of higher education.
Enjoy the conference!
Dr. Betsy Oudenhoven

My Narratives
“The stated objective of this inquiry was to
undertake an analysis of all Colorado
Supreme Court (hereinafter referred to as
“the Court”) rulings covering a five-year
period from 2015 to 2019 relating to water
law, taking into consideration the
applicable law and the higher court’s
ultimate rulings in said cases. Particular
emphasis was given to the Court’s
tendency to either affirm or reverse the
lower courts’ rulings; statutes, codes, and
precedence found to play a determinative
role in the court’s opinions; and any areas Christopher Ceglia
of water law found to be particularly Law and Water
subject to interpretation and litigation.”

“Colorado, Utah, and Nebraska
voters have spoken and the
exception or punishment clause
have been removed from their
constitution. This is a start, but the
goal is simple, we need more
citizens and politicians actively
working to eliminate the disparities
of Black and Brown people and
repeal and replace the U.S.
Constitution 13th Amendment.”

“Acute stress can cause an increase
in heart rate and stronger
contractions of the heart muscles and
hormones such as adrenaline and
cortisol. Also, the blood vessels that
direct blood to the large muscles and
the heart dilate, thus elevating blood
pressure (APA, 2020). Experiencing
this over long periods of time can
take a toll on the body and increase
the risk for hypertension, heart
Taylor Ramirez attack, or stroke (APA, 2020).”

“When you deviate from the norm, it’s
easy to feel as if society doesn’t have a
place for you and like you don’t
belong. Therefore, as a society, we
need to make more of an effort to
include women who do not have
children. Whether they are childfree,
childless, or temporarily childless,
having a support group, or even just
someone who understands that they
have more to contribute than their
wombs, could make the world of a
difference to them. We need to get past

thinking that a woman’s sole purpose The Strain of an Unfulfilled
is to be a mother and instead, reinforce Gender Role
the belief that a life without children is
viable and that it can be a happy one,
even if that is not what we’ve chosen.”
“We connect different
people, times, and places
with sound. Throughout our
day different sounds will
come and go, but some
waves will hold a special
place in us. Always
remember to listen.”

“The cardinal sin in our perception of
homelessness, however, lies not in our
perceptions but in how we generalize
those ideas to an entire population.
While modern society has begun—
through the Civil Rights movement, Gay
Rights movement, Black Lives Matter,
and #metoo—to push back on the notion
that all people of a specific group
experience the world in the same way,
we fail to apply these ideals to our
homeless peers. We consider
“homelessness” as a problem that can Burch Godwin

rather than stratifying the problem to Homelessness
