Scholarship helps Ski Ops students reach their goals
Stanley, Terryl and Craig Brue established an endowed scholarship to assist students who are committed to obtaining a degree in Ski Area Operations at CMC Leadville. Their hope with the scholarship is to inspire students to achieve their goals.
“We believe that CMC’s variety of degree and certificate programs are extremely important to the diverse populations the college serves. Our son had a great experience in the ski area operations program and was able to get an internship that launched into a career.”
~Terryl Brue
