PODCAST: COOT Chronicles: Colby's Outdoor Orientation Trip

In 1975, one professor led the first ever COOT trip, guiding 15 students to the top of Mount Katahdin. Over the past 31 years, COOT has become one of Colby's most beloved traditions, inextricable from the college's identity, and always evolving to mold to Colby's changing needs. Emily Judem '06 talked to COOT leaders Meagan Berg '07 and Chris Zajchowski '07, new dean of students Jim Terhune, and director of outdoor safety and education Jonathan Milne to find out more about its most recent changes. Then you can listen to one of Colby's a capella groups, The Sirens, as they sing the blues. Again, I'd love any feedback or suggestions! Email me at insidecolby@colby.edu
