PARENTS: SUBSCRIBE to the COLLEGE VOICE!

The College Voice can help you stay informed. For only $40.00, you will receive twenty-five issues of the newspaper covering each week of the academic year. Campus news, sports, arts, entertainment, and opinion will arrive at your mailbox each week. Imagine calling your son or daughter, and knowing more than he or she about the opening game against Colby. Picture the surprised look on your student's face when you quiz them about Convocation. When you subscribe to the Voice, you will also be supporting an entirely student operated newspaper. The staff of the Voice works extremely hard to publish an independent weekly newspaper. If you do not specifically know a Voice staff member, your sons and daughters surely do. We urge you to consider subscribing to the Voice. Not only will you be supporting a dedicated student organization, but you will grow intimately involved each week with the workings of the College community.
