4 COLBY-SAWYER COLLEGE <strong>ANNUAL</strong> <strong>REPORT</strong><br />
A NNUAL R EPORT<br />
A MESSAGE FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR ADVANCEMENT<br />
October 2008<br />
Dear Friends:<br />
This report celebrates the decision that all of you who are listed in this publication made to support <strong>Colby</strong>-<br />
<strong>Sawyer</strong> <strong>College</strong> with a gift during the 2008 fiscal year. By quickly scanning the pages that follow this one, you know<br />
that thousands of alumni, parents and friends made the same decision you made. <strong>Colby</strong>-<strong>Sawyer</strong> is stronger with<br />
your support.<br />
Every gift to <strong>Colby</strong>-<strong>Sawyer</strong> helps students and inspires us to strive to be better each day. Our hope is that each<br />
time you make a gift to the college, you benefit, too.<br />
Every gift, of every amount, opens up a possibility. In conversations with alumni throughout the past year, I<br />
had opportunities to talk about college priorities and dreams, and to learn about the issues important to members<br />
of the <strong>Colby</strong>-<strong>Sawyer</strong> family. On several occasions, when an alumna/us learned that by making a gift to the college,<br />
and directing it to a particular purpose, he or she could resolve an issue or bring a dream to life, their philanthropy<br />
became inspired.<br />
I hope you will continue to support <strong>Colby</strong>-<strong>Sawyer</strong> in the years ahead. More importantly, I hope you will allow<br />
us an opportunity each year to ensure that your giving is not born of habit or obligation, but rather that we have<br />
inspired you to invest in <strong>Colby</strong>-<strong>Sawyer</strong> in ways that make a difference to you and to the college we love.<br />
For making it possible this year to add faculty, to increase financial aid, to encourage professional development,<br />
to increase the diversity of the student body, to broaden the curriculum, to expand co-curricular programming, to<br />
renovate buildings, to expand on-campus housing, and more, we truly thank you.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Elizabeth A. Cahill<br />
VICE PRESIDENT FOR ADVANCEMENT
