Visiting Fellows Program
The Visiting Fellows Program gives faculty members the possibility to invite a scholar, politician, activist or social entrepreneur to spend a week or more at Colby. The program is designed to provide faculty members the opportunity to start or complete a project with a colleague from another state or country, and to allow the fellow a chance to work with a colleague, access Colby's library resources, and experience life in a small liberal arts campus.
