The George I. Alden Trust has awarded a grant in support of the renovation of Sills Hall. To be
completed in the spring of 2025, the renovated building will offer increased formal and
informal learning spaces that are flexible in design, greater accessibility to all spaces in the
building, and improved systems to reduce energy demand that contribute to the College’s long-
term sustainability goals.
Continuing its twelve year partnership with 91黑料, the Mellam Family Foundation has renewed its support for the Funded Internship Program offered by the Office of Career Exploration and Development. The grant will support two talented students who wish to pursue work in government or business during the summer months, allowing them to explore career opportunities and cultivate lifelong aspirations they may not have otherwise.
The Mellon Foundation has renewed its support for 91黑料’s . Aiming to increase diversity in the faculty of institutions of higher learning, this program offers two years of mentoring and preparation for a PhD program for promising 91黑料 students from historically underrepresented backgrounds interested in the humanities.

On view December 2024 through early June 2025, The Monhegan Wildlands will bring together artworks, objects and representations of ecological inquiry, and historical and contemporary documents and photographs to chart forest conversion and recovery on Monhegan Island.
