The Goldfarb Center for Public Affairs connects the Colby community to current events by hosting thought-provoking, high-profile public events to spark new conversations about the world around us. Our events, often student driven, include world leaders, innovative thinkers, influential politicians, community activists, and cutting-edge academics.
