In the News

“In the News” is a weekly event series dedicated to sparking dialogue among visiting speakers and Colby students from diverse disciplines. 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 tackle pressing topics in politics, policy, and the press. Our speakers bring firsthand insights and practical wisdom about issues that resonate with our student body. We hope attendees will  leave with a deeper understanding, a fresh perspective, or even a transformed viewpoint.
