Students

The Goldfarb Center for Public Affairs Student Advisory Board is a group of 6-15 students who, with the support of Goldfarb Faculty and Staff, develop and exercise leadership skills by fostering student engagement in public affairs and Goldfarb Center events.

Service on the Advisory Board is open to any Colby student in their sophomore, junior, or senior year and any field of study, and the Goldfarb Center actively seeks student representation from outside the division of social sciences. While first-year students are not eligible to serve on the Advisory Board, they are encouraged to get involved with the Center’s work through attendance and involvement in the Center’s events and programs, as well as occasional volunteer opportunities. Upon joining the Advisory Board, students may serve for as many years as they would like, subject to active engagement with Board activities and campus-based study. View the full job description for the position here. 

The call for nominations for the Student Advisory Board is issued during Spring semester each year, for service to begin the following fall semester. Nominations for the ’24/’25 academic year open on March 19, and close on Wednesday, April 9. To nominate yourself for consideration as an incoming Board member, please complete and submit this google form by 11:59pm on April 9th. No submissions will be accepted after this date. 

To receive an email notification for the nomination call, and other announcements about Goldfarb Center events and happenings, we invite you to join the Center’s Google Group. Please join the group by emailing the current co-chairs: Linh Dinh ’25 , Willa Spalter ’25, or Anavi Khanna ’27 with your request to be added.
