Restless Minds
The Restless Minds Program invites students to attend cultural events in the surrounding area. Recent destinations have included the Capitol Center for the Arts, the Hopkins Center, the Hood Museum, and the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum.
Colby-Sawyer Student Literary Magazine
For almost one hundred years the Colby-Sawyer Student Literary Magazine has published the best examples of student writing. Students select the format, choose the works they want to include, and oversee each phase of the publication process. This emphasis on student control, and the excellence of student work have lead to a special scholarship, which is given to foster creative writing at the college. In addition to the annual literary magazine, students have, in some years, chosen to publish a monthly literary broadside, and offer literary readings for campus and community audiences.
