POWER POINT Presentations
Colby, Bates, and Bowdoin Colleges are closing down their off-campus study sites in London, Cape Town and Quito. The CBB Quito Center closed its doors at the end of the fall semester, 2003, and the London and Cape Town centers will close at the end of the spring semester 2005.
Since the fall of 1999, Colby, Bates, and Bowdoin Colleges have sent several hundred junior-year students to the CBB centers. Faculty members from the three U.S. campuses designed and taught academic programs at the centers that took into account the resources and opportunities offered by each site. Courses taught by local instructors were also available. The centers contained classrooms, faculty offices, computer facilities, and social areas. Outside programs involving internships with local institutions, volunteer service with non-profit organizations, and registation into local academic institutions encouraged students to integrate into the local community.
The general administration of the program is coordinated by the CBB Off-Campus Study Office, currently located on the Bowdoin College campus. The office will close on June 30th, 2005.
