Dr. Brown was so thankful to be able to witness the amazing collaborative work of Skowhegan High School, the Maine Historical Society, New Balance, and the Skowhegan Police Department as they brought 1 of only 26 remaining Dunlap Broadside copies of the Declaration of Independence to Skowhegan High School. The school estimated that 1,200 students from the high school, the middle school, and Somerset Career & Technical Center were able to witness this amazing piece of history. Dr. Brown, too, was obviously excited. Such an amazing example of what a community can do for its students when everyone works together! Mainers still have an opportunity to see the Dunalp for themselves at a few remaining showings in the state...get your tickets now! https://www.mainehistory.org/events/statewide-tour-of-the-declaration-of-independence/

Dr. Brown had a blast bringing the Central Maine Education Consortium's Alternative Education Special Interest Group to Allen Island last week. The future is definitely bright with these teens!

It's the last week of classes on campus and there is a lot to celebrate! Our student teachers are finishing up their placements this week and to celebrate, we had a festive dinner after the yearly campus awards ceremony. So many Education Majors & Minors received awards at the yearly ceremony -- including three of our student teachers -- Christian Gobo in English, Emily Marden in French, and Aidan Jones in Biology. Proud of all of our seniors and what they have accomplished this year. We can't wait to see what they accomplish in the future.

Attention Colby Students: Join us for an engaging evening with Professor Adam Howard as part of the Lectures on Tap series.

Are boys really broken, or are we asking the wrong question? In this talk, Professor Adam Howard argues that the story we keep telling about a “boys crisis” gets boys wrong. He explores how TikTok, the manosphere, and online culture shape boys’ ideas about masculinity, belonging, and worth, and offers a different vision: resilient masculinity, rooted in connection, honesty, and accountability.

When: April 23, 2026

Time: 7:00 PM

Where: The Pub

Hey Colby Education fam! Check out Daniel, Daisy, Elle, Gabby, and Kelly living their best life on Spring Break! Looks like an incredible time. ☀️💙

We rounded out Spring Break on campus with a couple of wonderful conferences! Colby Education students Arianna Chappell, '26 & Emily Sanborn, '29 and faculty member Dr. Brown volunteered at the Maine Safer School's Conference hosted in part by our friends over at Educate Maine. There they got to chat a bit with Cony High School's Beth Russell whose daughter will be attending next year and plans to study education policy! Also in attendance -- Colby Alum Avery Munns, '21 who is currently an ESOL teacher at Waterville Senior High School as well as the facilitator for the Central Maine Education Consortium's (CMEC) Multilingual Learner Special Interest Group (SIG). We also saw CMEC Arts Integration SIG member Serena Sanborn with her Waterville Creates colleague Stevie as they provided an "art break" for the middle and high school students in attendance. Dr. Brown ended the day visiting the Maine Alternative Education Conference also being held on campus. There she got to see her CMEC Alternative Education SIG buddies Karen Foster and Art Meneses from LEAP at Lawrence High School. What a wonderful day for education at Colby!
