The Diamond Building is Colby’s largest academic building, and houses interdisciplinary studies and social sciences. The building is also home to the Goldfarb Center for Public Affairs and the Oak Institute for Human Rights.
The Goldfarb Center hosts policy-driven conversations about current events. Every year Colby designates a global human rights activist as an Oak Fellow. Oak Fellows conduct research while in residence at the College, and the Oak Institute organizes lectures and events centered around the fellow’s area of expertise.
