Inspired Growth

Learning isn't confined to classrooms at Colby. Activities outside of class are an essential part of students' intellectual, personal, and creative growth. With more than 100 student organizations, countless leadership opportunities, and a diverse, civic-minded community, Colby students are involved. They learn to embrace opportunities, to see connections in disparate lines of thought, and to regard education as a civic resource as well as a personal achievement.
