    THE INAUGURATION OF CLAYTON S. ROSE Fifteenth President of Bowdoin College Saturday, October 17, 2015 10:30 a.m. Farley Field House Bowdoin College Brunswick, Maine Bricks The pattern of brick used in these materials is derived from the brick of the terrace of the Walker Art Building, which houses the Bowdoin College Museum of Art. The Walker Art Building is an anchor of Bowdoin’s historic Quad, and it is a true architectural beauty. It is also a place full of life—on warm days, the terrace is the first place you will see students and others enjoying the sunshine—and it is standing on this brick that students both begin and end their time at Bowdoin. At the end of their orientation to the College, the incoming class gathers on the terrace for their first photo as a class, and at Commencement they walk across the terrace to shake the hand of Bowdoin’s president and receive their diplomas.

  • College of the Atlantic Climate Action Plan FINAL
    College of the Atlantic Bar Harbor, Maine Spring 2008, Climate Action Plan BACKGROUND Campus Profile College of the Atlantic (COA) is a small, four-year, private college with one major: human ecology. Its 300 students design their own course of study geared to investigate, and ultimately improve, the relationships between human beings and their social and natural communities. Students at COA are both reflective and active. While many students study sciences and policy, our students come to campus with the creativity of the thinking mind; we graduate musicians, poets, artists and screenwriters along with green business workers, conservationists and marine scientists. Environmentalism is inherent in everything COA does. Its mission and major draw students who are inherently aware of the impact of their actions. Recycling is standard procedure; food is composted; landscaping is organic; bikes are everywhere; the environment is protected and cared for. COA students, faculty and staff are involved in decisions about all aspects of the college, from which trees should be cut and where roads and walkways placed to the nature of any new structures. Much of the college’s produce comes from its own organic farm or a kitchen garden that is part of the campus’ public community gardens. Only low- or no-VOC paints and healthy cleaning products are used. Sustainability is part of purchasing decision’s for furniture, office products and food. These efforts are supported by all members of the college community. Contacts David Hales Craig W. Ten Broeck President Consulting Advisor for Sustainability Phone: 207-288-5015, ext. 231 Phone: 207-288-5015 or 207-785-2130 or ext.

  • Testimony of Daniel W. Walker on Behalf of Maine Independent Colleges Association Before the Committee on Taxation
    Daniel W. Walker [email protected] TESTIMONY OF DANIEL W. WALKER ON BEHALF OF MAINE INDEPENDENT COLLEGES ASSOCIATION BEFORE THE COMMITTEE ON TAXATION In opposition to LD 659, An Act To Ease The Property Tax Burden By Authorizing Municipalities To Require Payments In Lieu Of Taxes From Certain Exempt Organizations Joint Standing Committee on Taxation April 14, 2021 Senator Chipman, Representative Terry, and members of the Taxation Committee, my name is Daniel Walker, and I am an attorney with Preti Flaherty and I am here today on behalf of the Maine Independent Colleges Association (MICA) to testify in opposition to LD 659. MICA represents 11 private, nonprofit colleges and universities1 throughout Maine that serve over 25,000 students, over 7,000 of whom are from Maine. These institutions are located in municipalities of all sizes across the State, from Maine’s largest city to small tourist towns and farming communities. Collectively, the 11 institutions are an economic force and an integral part of Maine’s Higher Educational eco-system. While they share the attributes of being private and nonprofit, these institutions are highly diverse and serve very different aspects of the educational needs of Maine people. Together they: Employ over 6,000 Maine workers. Have a total payroll in excess of $340 million. Have direct expenditures of over $615 million. Have an estimated economic impact on Maine’s economy of over a billion dollars each year. Directly contribute close to $2M to municipalities. Value of community service is over $24 million. Provide nearly $55 million in financial aid to Maine students.

Colby was part of my town, and Colby people were part of my life-they were my teachers, they ran businesses in town, they dated and married my sisters. I recall a childhood reverence for the old Colby campus and saw its transition to the new, and I remember Bill Millett from my school­ days-the slow drone of his voice and his warm smile-friend and mentor to youth of Water­ ville .... That is where I started, and now I am here, an artist and farmer in Grand Isle, Vt. The road between has been bumpy, and at every turn choices had to be made. The paved routes were the safest; the lanes and paths were risky. I'd like to thank you, Colby, for helping me make it down that road.

The one I like best is building—we build a lot of things here. Some such building is actual, not analogous: there’s a fourth year student building a tiny house in the parking lot; another is rebuilding the battery terminals for our electric van; we just built a bed on wheels and placed third in the Bar Harbor Bed Races.

As is always the case with my annual reports, I am much indebted to my administrative and office staffs for the invaluable background work they have done.

Last year's report was devoted largely to a discussion of Bowdoin's successful reaccreditation review. I enjoyed the opportunity to pass along the many good things said about Bowdoin, while acknowledging that Bowdoin, like all institutions, had some challenges still to meet. The report concluded with a discussion of those steps being taken to ensure that each challenge would be addressed. This year's report will in part continue to address those concerns as I review the accomplishments of the College.
