A Proposal For Dealing With Underage Drinking At Colby, Matthew Mckinney
CLAS: Colby Liberal Arts Symposium
This project details the drinking endemic at Colby college. Students consume alcohol despite the age limit, and face little resistance from campus administration/security. With such little regard for, and such little enforcement of the law, it has begun to lose it's authority. Is this a problem at Colby? If so, is it one of student action, or a lack of administrative response?

“Against The Ebony Of Her Skin”: The Impact Of Harlem Renaissance Blues Culture And Literature On The Development Of Womanism, Maia Y. Rodriguez
Seaver College Research And Scholarly Achievement Symposium
