Colorado College Business Community Alliance Awards May 3, 2010
The Colorado College Business & Community Alliance
invites you to join us for the 6th annual “Partners in Service” Awards, honoring Susan Edmondson and Delaney Utterback
Monday, May 3, 2010, 6 p.m.
“Celebrating Partnership, Celebrating Service”
Location: Edith Kinney Gaylord Cornerstone Arts Center, 825 N. Cascade, (map). Free and open to the public.
Join the Colorado College Business & Community Alliance in celebrating the common causes and extraordinary outreach and service shared between college and community. Each year the B&CA honors two outstanding individuals, one from the CC campus community (an alumnus, staff or faculty member), and one from the larger community. After a brief awards ceremony, we’ll enjoy refreshments and the chance to mingle and congratulate current and former award winners.
Our Honorees for 2010
This year, we are proud to honor Susan Edmondson, Executive Director of the Bee Vradenburg Foundation. Susan is an indispensable champion of the local arts, a constant supporter of the cultural development of our community as a whole, as well as a staunch community ally of the college; and Delaney Utterback, a CC grad who started working at KRCC while still a student, and has helped this flagship public radio station grow and flourish as one of the most-trusted sources of news and entertainment in the state, with popular concert series, award-winning news, and an army of loyal fans. Colorado Springs would not be the same without these two!
Past Partners in Service Award Winners:
2009 Gina Arms and Dee Vazquez
2008 Barbara Yalich and Dave Munger
2007 Beth Kosley and Richard Skorman
2006 Buck Blessing and Dick and Judy Noyes

Abstract:
Increasingly, we live in a digital world, and not just figuratively but literally. We’re immersed in entertainment that is computer generated. We’re constructing personal identities online and through social media. We turn to digital media for more of our entertainment and information. And we conduct an ever growing percentage of our business and daily tasks online.
What’s more, a growing part of living in a digital world is interacting with digital characters. In fact, the quality and effectiveness of computer generated characters for movies, games, and the internet are transforming entertainment, engagement, and how we make emotional connections with customers and one another. In short, these innovations in digital characters are creating human-like interactions and attachments.
How has this all happened and where is it going? What’s more, what does it mean for life and business?
You won’t want to miss this presentation because Dr. Ray Muzyka and Dr. Greg Zeschuk are profound innovators; they are legendary in the computer gaming industry for their work as co-founders of BioWare, one of the leading game companies with blockbuster titles that include Mass Effect and Dragon Age. During this presentation, they will tell their intriguing personal story of inventing and founding BioWare on-the-side while attending medical school. For gamers and the general public alike, Drs. Muzyka and Zeschuk will give you a glimpse into the future of gaming and entertainment. But their insights are also broader and deeper. Ray and Greg are also founders and Co-Chairs of local internet software company CodeBaby. So you’ll get their provocative insights into the area of online customer experience as well.
If you’re a digital aficionado, or just intrigued by what all this means for society and life, you won’t want to miss this once in a lifetime chance to hear and interact with two of the most acclaimed and famous personalities of the rapidly changing world of digital media.
