Colby has long distinguished itself as a place of opportunity, where the most capable students are admitted and succeed regardless of creed, race, ethnicity, gender identity, nationality, sexual orientation, or economic background. We need to ensure that the Colby community reflects the diversity of our country and the world, that Colby is accessible to students from all backgrounds, and that our graduates acquire the abilities and experience to thrive in the multicultural 21st-century world.

Mayflower Hill is the catalyst and crucible for experiences and relationships that alumni cite as the best preparation imaginable for success. But if our intention is to provide a transformational experience in a state-of-the-art learning environment, our physical facilities must keep pace. We must improve key campus facilities to support the curriculum and campus life, and we must model environmentally responsible, sustainable practices in our buildings and our operations.
