Colby is building a next-generation liberal arts institution: We’re preparing our students to lead and thrive as they confront the world’s most complex challenges. For the College, this means combining the best aspects of selective residential colleges with those of top-tier research universities. For DavisConnects, this means helping you make the most of Colby’s opportunity-rich environment, inside and outside the classroom, before and after you graduate.
DavisConnects commits that all Colby students, regardless of economic circumstances, will have access to a trio of transformative, high-impact opportunities: internships, research, and global experiences. The combination of JanPlan and DavisConnects means that you can double your opportunities compared to students at other schools.
DavisConnects’ extraordinary funding + expert advising + Colby’s JanPlan = more opportunities
The wealth of opportunity available at Colby will help you build a distinctive resume, and – even more important – it will give you multiple chances to test your interests in the wider world: What do you really want to do? Some students and advisors call this “stacking” your DavisConnects experiences. At Colby, you learn to align what you decide to do with who you decide to be. This is obviously good for you, and it’s also good for your future colleagues. Employers and other opportunity-keepers want to know that you’ve given careful thought to your chosen path. Otherwise, they may worry that you would be a risky addition to their team.
Want to take full advantage of Colby and DavisConnects? All you need to do is take action and keep active. Set up an appointment with a DavisConnects advisor, attend a workshop or event, and go after your next ambitious goal.
