Colby College Grads and Students - You are invited to "Know Your Worth: Understanding and Negotiating Offers," a webinar for Colby students and graduates covering the traditional and the negotiable elements of a job offer, tips on the "asks" and negotiation points you can anticipate, and review of actual (though redacted for confidentiality) offers and compensation packages so that you walk away with confidence as you evaluate and chart your next professional steps.

What a gift to host Stuart Weitzman, legendary shoe designer and entrepreneur, who spent the entire day meeting with and inspiring Colby College students! Thank you Annie Kloppenberg, Daniel Harkett and Elizabeth Low Bowen '96 for your partnership with DavisConnects in hosting Stuart and Barbara Kreger today!

We were delighted to hear from Eric Fleischman ‘02, Chief Technology Officer at Proof, during his discussion at DavisConnects titled “Let’s Talk AI: Is It Changing the Future of Jobs?”

During his visit to Colby, students had the opportunity to hear from Eric in classroom visits, 1:1 conversations, and his captivating fireside chat. We are grateful to Eric for taking the time to share with students insider knowledge into the current Computer Science job market and how students can best leverage themselves for success.

Thank you Eric!

A hearty thanks to our Parkhurst Dining colleagues for your partnership on tonight's very well received "Success with Manners: The Art of the Business Meal" dinner workshop! What a tremendous (and delicious) way to impart important life skills for the first-year through senior Colby College attendees!
