Nicole Dannenberg '96 is that rare student who
combines extraordinary intellectual gifts with enthusiasm for learning and a
winning personality. She is, according to Associate Professor of Government
Guilain Denoeux, "simply delightful." The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace apparently agrees. Dannenberg
was one of 10 students chosen from the elite of the country's top schools to
work alongside a senior associate as a Carnegie Junior Fellow for six months.
She is the first Colby student ever selected for a Carnegie fellowship.
Patients, Patients
For one day this spring, the health center at Colby looked like the
emergency room of a metropolitan hospital on a busy Saturday night. Students
were lying on couches, on cots, on the floor, in the hallway, on every flat
surface that would accommodate a human body. This was not a drill to test the
proficiency of health center staff. It was an honest-to-goodness epidemic of
what students were calling "the Colby virus."
The Colby Eight received good reviews for their latest compact disk
titled Bitter Little Dutchboy, released this spring. The Student Environmental Coalition sponsored an ambitious program of
activities to celebrate Earth Day in late April.
Promises Made and Kept
The Colby Echo praised outgoing Student Association President Tom Ryan
'96 and vice president Tina Goudreau for leading Stu-A "through a very
difficult year."
Two Colby students are among 55 scholars nationwide selected for prestigious
Morris Udall Scholarships for 1996-97. Amy Lyons '98 of Sebago Lake, Maine, and
Steve Higgs '98 of Birmingham, Mich., each will receive a $5,000 award to be
used toward tuition, fees and room and board. Lyons majors in environmental policy and international studies. Higgs is a
double major in biology and environmental policy. The scholarships honor the former congressman from Arizona, Morris K. Udall,
and support academically talented U.S. students who have interest in and
potential for careers in environmental public policy, health care and Native
American public policy. This is the first year Colby has participated in the program.
