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!
