Alumni Travel/Study

Alumni travel-study trips are accompanied by one or more stimulating members of the Colby, Bates, or Hamilton faculty, who enlarge upon the travel itinerary with discussions and guided field trips. We offer both moderately priced domestic trips of a shorter duration and more elaborate alumni colleges abroad. We hope you will consider joining Colby alumni, parents, and friends on one of our upcoming trips.
