So, February 27th, Colby celebrated the 200th anniversary of the signing of the charter- aka a birthday. Classes were cancelled and a HUGE celebration was planned. From student presentations and faculty discussions, to a giant birthday cake and an iceless skating rink inside, the day was a huge success!
Delaney marching in the parade for the Theater and Dance Department
An iceless skating rink!
The stage for the Bicentennial play, "Light of the Mind"
Photo booth fun.
Yes, that's the birthday cake- a replica of the library.
And finally, a letter from Barack Obama congratulating the school and Bro on an amazing 200 years, and wishing us 200 more. Thanks Obama!
These are only a few of the pictures I have of the day- there was so much going on that I couldn't put my camera down! But, I just wanted to say how blessed I am to be a student at Colby in this moment. Being part of something as big and special as a celebration of the school and education was more than just fun, it was eye-opening. We really do have a great community here, and it came out in full force yesterday. Thank you Colby, for letting me spend 4 years here. Happy birthday, and here's to 200 more!
