This is terrific news! Kudos to CMC on the launch of his new digital media program. SandBox especially likes the ".. and also valley-wide professionals in need of new media skills..." part.

"The Roaring Fork Valley’s community college and Aspen Institute CEO Walter Isaacson are launching a local program to teach digital media and production skills, they announced Monday.
The new Isaacson School for New Media at Colorado Mountain College (CMC) will begin offering classes this fall.
Isaacson and college leaders, at a morning press conference, called the program a step toward making the valley a leader in digital and mobile technology.
CMC President Stan Jensen said the program would help make ours a “digital valley,” with the new program attracting students from across the country to the Aspen area and becoming a national leader in new media.
“We want to be on the cutting edge,” Jensen said.
Though lending his name to the school and assisting in the curriculum development, Isaacson is not expected to teach regularly at CMC.
“I believe deeply in the mission of community colleges and, especially, in the important role this school will play for generations to come in the Roaring Fork Valley,” Isaacson said in a video message from Washington, D.C.
Classes will focus on digital journalism, digital media production and digital marketing/design.
The college will offer full credit courses, as well as certifications for non-students, including one-day workshops for professionals.
Jensen said they are aiming the program at college students and also valley-wide professionals in need of new media skills...."
