Colby Student Organizations
Colby Climate
Coalition
Student activists have concentrated on reaching greenhouse gas emissions goals for Colby.
Inspired by the growing concern about global warming, more technically

have become leaders in local Climate Change action. Students are getting
involved in climate change policies in Maine. They are promoting awareness
of these issues among students, faculty, and staff.

management, and other environmental issues. The EC is located in the basement
of Mary Low.

The club was founded in the Fall of 2003 to connect majors and faculty in this
interdisciplinary program. The club aims to create a sense of community within
the ES program by hosting social events such as club lunches and pub nights,
attending environmental conferences, volunteering at events (including introducing
lecturers), providing a network for students to talk about internships, ES courses
and common experiences, and reaching out to prospective students through admissions.
The ES Club is open to anyone who would like to get involved.
