“Take every opportunity available because the chances of having it again are not very good. Looking back, I did do a lot, but I could have done more.”
Sara Di Pesa, English major

Purpose
There are four Class Boards, one for each matriculating class. The purpose of these organizations is to promote class unity and communicate with the students in their class; address class issues when appropriate or bring those issues to representatives of the Student Government Association if necessary; plan and implement activities for their class; and initiate fundraising activities to support class programming; fill vacancies of Student Government Association Senators of the appropriate class.
Participation
Membership in the Class Boards is open to all Colby-Sawyer students. Anyone who wishes to participate in their Class Board may do so.

• call and preside over a minimum of two class meetings per semester;
