We connect the Colby community to our nation’s most pressing current events, foster awareness of the role of public policy, and inspire active citizenship. We spark thought-provoking conversations through high-profile public events and create networking opportunities for students interested in public affairs. We believe in a nonpartisan, inclusive approach that welcomes every opinion as part of a healthy discourse.
Letter from the Executive Director
Welcome back! We are thrilled to kick off the fall semester with you. The Goldfarb Center has been hard at work this summer, and we are excited to have students back on campus and welcome the class of ’28. We have so much in store this fall.
I’m particularly excited to announce the launch of our new weekly series, In The News. Every Wednesday
from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, students will gather in Page Commons for food and insightful conversations with leading practitioners and thought leaders. Together we will dive into the critical issues of the day. If you’re
passionate about policy, politics, and the press, this is the place to be each week.
With the upcoming election on everyone’s mind, our programming will focus on making sense of it all. We’ve
lined up a range of speakers, including electeds, journalists, political operatives, and others, offering perspectives from across the political spectrum. You can check our September speakers here.
Of course, none of this would be possible without our incredible new group of student and faculty leaders.
On behalf of everyone at the Goldfarb Center, welcome back to campus!
