Sophie A. Cohen of Madison Enrolls at Colby College

WATERVILLE, ME -- Sophie A. Cohen of Madison, Conn., enrolled at Colby College in Waterville, Maine, this fall. Before classes began Sept. 5, Cohen took part in aweeklong orientation that included an introduction to academic and intellectual life at Colby, participation in an outdoor education trip (COOT), and an address by the Crawford Family Professor of Religion Nikky-Guninder Singh at Colby's 201st Convocation. A graduate of Daniel Hand High School, she is the daughter of Jonathan and Dorothy Cohen of Madison, Conn.

The Class of 2022 was selected from the largest and most academically qualified pool of applications in Colby's 206-year history. This class will benefit from DavisConnects, Colby's innovative program that supports all students in their pursuit of independent and collaborative research, global experiences, and internships to prepare them for postgraduate success.

The class is the first to enter Colby with the College's pledge that an admitted student whose family income is $60,000 or less, with assets typical for that income range, will attend with no parent or guardian financial contribution.
