The Office of Family Philanthropy and Engagement invites you to join us for our annual Summer Reception series! Hosted in eight cities across the country this July, these "send-off" receptions encourage incoming students and their families to meet with other Colby community members in their area, fostering a sense of community early on in their Colby journeys.
