Colby in a Box
Colby has a wide net of alumni across the United States and internationally. The alumni office is able to reach a large part of the Colby community with robust programming, but not everyone. So, we’ve created Colby in a Box to encourage alumni-to-alumni community building with alumni in various locations. It will encourage our constituents to host organic, social gatherings ranging in size from 5 people to 25+ and then share the experience back with Colby via social media posts and lists of attendees.
Alumni interested in a Colby in a Box are asked to request a box up to 2 weeks in advance of the event by using the link below. All requests will receive a response within 48 hours. Volunteer hosts will be offered reimbursement for food costs based on final attendee list and meeting other criteria such as sharing the final attendee list and photos from the event. Alumni and parents will be reimbursed for food/beverages as designated by the receipt(s) for the event. Up to $100 for 25+ attendees and $35 for 10 or less attendees. If you do not wish to receive reimbursement, receipts are not necessary.
Winter Special
Are you planning on gathering to celebrate the holidays with fellow mules? If so, did you know you can request a Colby in a Box and bring some extra cheer to your party? This winter we are customizing the Colby in a Box. Each box will include personalized hot chocolate, scarves, stadium cups, and stickers.
