Bennett did look at it, however—and she wasn’t having it. She ripped up the form and started a new one, adding challenging classes she told Bodine he could handle, such as physics and organic chemistry. It was a pivotal vote of confidence. “I was a better student when I left that room that day,” Bodine […]
Note by note, instrument by instrument, Deng recreated the third movement of Chopin’s Second Concerto using an electronic MIDI keyboard. The resulting “MIDI orchestra” is rich with not just technical precision but also emotional nuance. Add in Deng’s impassioned playing and his final, nine-minute video mesmerizes as much as it pleases. “It’s really quite amazing,” […]
In some ways, this was like other holidays the friends have shared over the past decade. A phone call, a good chat, the best to the family, and a pledge to visit each other soon.

Matzko had just learned of a job through Colby’s Pay It Northward initiative she felt would be ideal for Gibson. It had the patient contact and exposure to a medical office that Gibson wanted. In July Gibson started that […]
A chemistry major concentrating in biochemistry, Armillei pursued her honors thesis with Julie Millard, the Dr. Gerald and Myra Dorros Professor of Chemistry, exploring whether genetics determines your ability to taste bitter foods—like hoppy IPAs, dark chocolate, or leafy greens. This kind of first-hand research, in addition to several summers of undergraduate research at the […]
The cells of patients with infectious diseases harbor patterns of gene expression that can reveal far more about the illness than conventional diagnostic tests. Chaz Langelier ’00 is decoding these patterns with a technique called metagenomic sequencing at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), where he is a practicing physician and associate professor of […]
An overload of eye contact and being tuned in to facial expressions, says Evan McGee ’03, is what makes most online meetings so exhausting. His company, SignalWire, recently debuted a platform that aims to make the digital workday feel more natural. SignalWire Work aims to create a virtual office, complete with a lobby, break room, […]
LeBlanc graduated from Colby with a degree in computer science before continuing with the 3-2 program through Colby’s partnership with Dartmouth College, receiving her B.E. in mechatronics. While her engineering program gave her the technical skills to work with the best in the automotive business, she cites her liberal arts degree as what makes […]
While feeling mesmerized by the Sierra Nevadas, for instance, she never forgets how her grandmother was incarcerated in the Japanese-American concentration camps at the base of those mountains during World War II. “It’s this mixture of loving and longing for nature, but also not feeling like I belong.” Sarkar thinks that a lot of Black, […]
