\”Place and Space\”

In Maine, there is a signpost with arrows pointing to other famous destinations across the world which happen to have names similar to local cities. (Rome, Paris, China, and Mexico) One year, Sue took students to that signpost and had them each prepare a cutout with their country of origin. They then pasted them onto the signpost to remind students that they belonged just as much as Mainers.

\”Pioneers\”

International student orientation is all about making the strange more familiar. Whether it be through funny videos satirizing American culture, or exploring Maine outdoors, anything is welcome. This photo is taken at the top of Mount Battie found in Camden Maine. The goal of this experience is to allow students the chance to explore outside Colby.
