Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Resources
Colby College is dedicated to the education of humane, thoughtful, and engaged persons prepared to respond to the challenges of an increasingly diverse and global society and to the issues of justice that arise therein. Our definition of what constitutes diversity may—and probably should—change over time, but when we promote diversity now we are expressing our commitment to an inclusive campus community, enriched by persons of different races, genders, ethnicities, nationalities, economic backgrounds, ages, abilities, sexual orientations, and spiritual values; to ensuring equal opportunity for all who work or study here. (The full text of Colby’s Statement on Diversity can be found here.
Please find below resources to guide your search process and to assist with having the best talent applying for our positions from “all walks of life.”
Working collaboratively with people who are different from us makes us smarter, enhances our creativity, fosters innovation, and better prepares us to live and to work in a global society. Our inclusive and equitable community holds that diverse groups and diversity of thought and experience produce challenging and positive outcomes, richer learning experiences, and opportunities for collaborative synergies across our differences. Diversity drives the College’s future success—allowing Colby to reflect changing demographics, facilitate our global reach, and meet lofty goals through the synthesis of varied talents/abilities and ideas. The goal of Colby’s recruiting, and any search process, is to have the best talent applying for our positions; talent displaying varied experiences, perspectives, and identities.
