During the spring, parents and guardians generally receive invitations to commencement and the dinners and a cappella concerts.  They receive two mailings about commencement, and they can gain the rest of the information about the weekend online at www.colby.edu/commencement.  For the Green Graduation, however, Colby’s mailings will be printed on recycled paper.  This paper does cost more than the paper on which it is traditionally printed, but it shows the parents that Colby is thinking of the environment during all the aspects of graduation.
