AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL(“O Beautiful for Spacious Skies”)Music written by Samuel A. Ward (1847–1903)Words written by Katharine Lee Bates (1859–1929)Selected stanzas

In 1893, Katharine Lee Bates was a visiting professor of English literature in Colorado College’s Summer Session. Bates and a group of faculty members traveled by prairie wagon and mules to the summit of Pikes Peak. There, inspired by the magnificent panorama, the poet conceived the initial verses of

“America, the Beautiful.” It was published in 1895 to national acclaim.

O beautiful for spacious skies,For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majestiesAbove the fruited plain. America! America!God shed His grace on thee,And crown thy good with brotherhoodFrom sea to shining sea.

O beautiful for pilgrim feetWhose stern impassioned stressA thoroughfare for freedom beatAcross the wilderness.America! America!God mend thine every flaw,Confirm thy soul in self-control,Thy liberty in law.

Winfrey’s life and her talk show’s impact featuring artifacts from the set, costumes from her movies, and interactive interviews.

In 2015, Winfrey joined the Weight Watchers board of directors. In 2017, her cookbook “Food, Health and Happiness: 115 On-Point Recipes for Great Meals and a Better Life” and “Wisdom of Sundays” both debuted as #1 on the New York Times Bestsellers List under her personal book imprint “An Oprah Book.” Winfrey also launched a new podcast,

“SuperSoul Conversations,” featuring conversations between herself and thought leaders, which debuted as #1 and has been downloaded over 150 million times to date. In 2018, Winfrey partnered with Apple for a multi-year content partnership to create original programs that will embrace her incomparable ability to connect with audiences around the world. Winfrey’s projects will be released as part of a lineup of original content from Apple.

Winfrey was awarded the Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, in 2013. In 2018, she was honored with the Cecil B. deMille award by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Oprah Winfrey is a global media leader, philanthropist, producer, and actress.

Winfrey is an Academy Award- nominated actress for her role in

“The Color Purple,” earned critical acclaim in “Lee Daniels’ The Butler,” and produced and acted in the Acade-my Award-winning film “Selma.” She starred in the Emmy-nominated HBO Films production “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” and most recently portrayed “Mrs. Which” in Disney’s

“A Wrinkle” in Time” film adaptation from director Ava DuVernay.

Winfrey is also a dedicated philanthro-pist. During a December 2002 visit with Nelson Mandela, she pledged to build a school in South Africa and has contributed more than $200 mil-lion toward providing education for academically gifted girls from disadvantaged backgrounds. Graduates of the school have continued on to higher education both in South Africa and at colleges and universities around the world, including Colorado College. Additionally, Winfrey is a founding donor of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture. In June 2018, the muse-um opened “Watching Oprah: ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ and American Culture,” an exhibit exploring

Martile Rowland is an accomplished opera singer and artist in residence

at Colorado College. Most recently, she served as director of Bernstein’s

“Trouble in Tahiti” and Verdi’s “Aida,” both presented this year at the Ent Center for the Arts. Rowland is manager of the Little London Belles — evocative voices, nostalgic hearts — trio on the rise in the U.S. Her efforts as founder/artistic director and producer of Opera Theatre of the Rockies afford her the opportunity to focus on the award-winning Opera Theatre Goes to School program, the Pikes Peak Opera League, and the training of young artists. In Colorado Springs, she also dedicates her ener-gies to her private voice studio, which earned her Classical Singer magazine’s Teacher of the Year in 2006.

Rowland entered the international opera scene with her debut as Queen Elizabeth in Donizetti’s “Roberto Devereux” with Opera Orchestra of New York in Carnegie Hall. Four months later, she made a Metropolitan Opera debut to play Elvira for Act II of Bellini’s “I Puritani.” In the years that followed, Rowland sang leading

roles in the world’s most prestigious opera houses, including returns to the Metropolitan Opera (to sing

“Lucia di Lammermoor” with Spanish tenor Alfredo Krauss), New York City Opera, Opera de Nice, Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City for four seasons, Rio de Janeiro’s National Theatre, Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, Paris’ Bastille, Frankfurt Opera, Stutt-gart Opera, Guadalajara, the famous Ludwigsburger Festival for four seasons, and Basil Opera in Switzer-land. She starred on American stages to include seven seasons at Atlanta Opera, San Diego Opera, Baltimore Opera, Minnesota Opera, Detroit Opera, Miami Opera, Dayton Opera, Washington Concert Opera, returns to Carnegie Hall, and seven seasons with her home company, the Colorado Opera Festival.

In 2014, Rowland was honored by the Pikes Peak Arts Council as the recipient of the Eve Tilley Lifetime Achievement Award. She has made her home in Colorado Springs since 1980 with her husband of 40 years, James, to whom, in perpetuity, she dedicates her work with Opera Theatre — past, present, and future.

France Winddance Twine is a professor of sociology, critical race theorist, and ethnographer

whose research has taken her to both sides of the Atlantic as well as the northern and southern hemispheres. She is the author and editor of 85 publications and has co-produced two documentaries. A native of Chicago, a first-generation university student, and the daughter of a black mother and Native American father, Twine grew up in a multiethnic working- class family and is a member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation of Oklahoma. She enrolled at Northwestern University at the age of 16 and graduated at 20. After conducting field research in rural Brazil, Twine accepted a residential fellowship at Colorado College, where she completed her dissertation for the University of California at Berkeley. She was then offered an assistant professorship at the University of Washington in Seattle, where she founded the Latin American Studies Program in the Jackson School of International Studies.

Twine’s research, teaching, and pub-lications are deeply interdisciplinary, intersectional, and international in

scope. Her publications reflect her sustained analysis of intersecting forms of racial, class, gender, and spatial inequalities across a wide range of diverse sites. Twine’s earlier research in Brazil and the United Kingdom focused upon how white and black members of interracial fami-lies negotiated inequality regimes and identity formation. Her recent books have focused upon reproductive justice and spatial inequalities in a global context, and include “Geogra-phies of Privilege” (2013, coedited) and “Outsourcing the Womb: Race, Class, and Gestational Surrogacy in a Global Context” (2015). Twine’s current book project on Silicon Valley draws upon interviews with 100 tech-nology workers of diverse ethnic, racial, class, national, and sexual backgrounds to examine the reproduction and resistance to racial inequality, gender inequality, and class privilege in the nation’s largest technology hub.

When not writing, Twine is an encaustic artist who paints with molten wax on wood. Her work has been exhibited in Big Sur, California, and Carpinteria, California. She is currently working on a new series,

“Walking on Fire.”

Jairo Valverde Bermudez ’92 was appointed ambassador for Costa Rica to Brazil in January

2015. In this role, he resolved his country’s longest-standing bilateral issue when the latter removed Costa Rica from its list of fiscal havens. Ambassador Valverde has served in various diplomatic capacities, including as the deputy head of mission during the 8th World Water Forum Ministerial Conference (2018), and as head of mission at the International Conference on South-South and Triangular Cooperation organized by the International Fund for Agriculture Development (2017). Outside of his diplomatic duties, Ambassador Valverde successfully negotiated with Faber-Castell Brazil for the donation of their manufacturing facilities in Costa Rica to serve as an immigration center guaranteeing the humanitarian treatment of migrants and refugees. More recently, Ambassador Valverde was awarded the National Order of the Southern Cross, the highest honor Brazil bestows on foreign nationals.

Ambassador Valverde graduated from Colorado College in 1992 with his B.A. in Political Economy, and earned his M.A. in International Relations from the International University of Japan. He went on to work for the United Nations Development Programme, latterly serving as chief technical advisor in Mozambique, leading

the UN’s support to the Mozambican parliament through projects related to strengthening fiscal oversight and law-making, the law on agriculture and food security, and strengthening the technical and functional skills of supreme audit institutions, national parliaments, and civil society for the control of public finances in the Portuguese-speaking African countries and Timor-Leste. His work contributed to, among other things, the UN’s positive role in support of human rights legislation.

In Cambodia, Ambassador Valverde worked as programme manager for UNDP’s Strengthening Democracy Programme and as political parties liaison officer in the Strengthening Democracy and Electoral Processes Project, advising UN senior manage-ment in Cambodia on democratic governance and elections. While in Phnom Penh, he assisted the National Election Commission, political parties, and NGOs focused on governance and electoral matters. His programme and project portfolio included a weekly TV news magazine that also served as on-the-job training for journalists.

Ambassador Valverde and his wife, Masaki, a 1993 CC graduate, have a daughter and a son. His personal interests include photography, wilder-ness appreciation, science fiction, and listening to his children’s life stories.
