Forbes Calls Colby’s Lichtenstein Exhibition “Groundbreaking”

A major review in Forbes of Roy Lichtenstein: History in the Making, 1948-1960, currently at the Colby College Museum of Art, referenced the show as “an extraordinary early Lichtenstein retrospective.” According to the reviewer, the exhibition, which originated at Colby, is something “every aficionado of Lichtenstein’s Pop paintings should see” and that they should also “read the superlative catalogue.”

Davis Institute for Artificial Intelligence featured on NPR’s Marketplace

Colby’s new Davis Institute for AI was featured on NPR’s national show and podcast Marketplace Tech. During the segment, President Greene said how “in 10 years, my sense is if you’re not in AI in a big way, for most colleges it’s going to be very hard to be relevant.” He also commented that for students, AI won’t be a plus factor. “It’s going to be an absolute expectation,” and that “we need to have a whole cohort of students from different backgrounds and experiences who are really leading AI and not being led by it.”
