Student Housing
Colby has been a coeducational college for 100 years, but in the 1960s men began to be housed in dormitories formerly considered to be on the "women's side" of the campus and likewise women were housed on the "men's side."

Appointments
Next fall Colby will have two new deans; a fourth Charles A. Dana Professor and two Avalon Visiting Professors will join the faculty.
