College of the Atlantic founding president Ed Kaelber is remembered as a kind, bright soul with infectious optimism, brilliant interpersonal skills, and uncommon wisdom. He set the college on a solid path forward during its crucial first years, and continued to influence its success until his death at age 94.

“It took a lot of vision and courage to start up a college in a small, remote community on the Maine coast, especially one with such a different approach to education. As someone who benefited from it directly, I’m grateful for Ed’s leadership in the endeavor. His founding role laid a path for COA’s many years of success, as well as the incredible impact the college has had on its students and community” - Congresswoman Chellie Pingree ’79.

Hi there. Not a silly question at all – we love our plants here! We often have students who stay on campus during breaks, and it’s not uncommon to find them pet sitting or plant sitting for out-of-town friends. While we have no formal process for making such arrangements, we’re confident that if you start asking around early, you’ll find plenty of plant-loving folks willing to help you out.
