State of the College

Each fall, Coe College gathers to reflect on our accomplishments and look ahead to the future through the annual State of the College address. This year’s spotlight features a powerful message from Katie Ameku, Coe’s third Rhodes Scholar, who graduated this past spring. Katie shares her remarkable journey, from choosing Coe, thriving within its nurturing academic and campus environment and ultimately being selected for the world’s most prestigious undergraduate scholarship, thanks to the support of the entire Coe community. President David Hayes ’93 will also deliver his annual remarks, offering updates on the college’s progress and vision for the year ahead as we continue to grow, innovate and inspire. To hear the full remarks from President Hayes and Katie Ameku’s inspiring story, we invite you to view the complete State of the College address by clicking the button below.
