Freakonomics and Disasters
Professors and students frequently co-write academic papers at Colby; it's not as common that they get cited in mainstream media. In 2006 Professor Phil Brown (economics) and Jess Minty '06 published results of their study, "Media Coverage and Charitable Giving after the 2004 Tsunami," with The Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan. On Tuesday it was quoted in the New York Times "Freakonomics" blog, which asked, "How Pure is Your Altruism?" |
Class Speaker Elected
The senior class has voted. Patrick C. Sanders of Fairfax, Va., will deliver the class speech at Colby's 187th Commencement on Sunday, May 25. He will share the stage with commencement speaker Robert E. Diamond Jr. '73, president of Barclays PLC. Four people in addition to Diamond will receive honorary degrees: astronaut Sunita Williams, television writer-producer David Simon, energy expert Amory Lovins, and art historian Gabriella De Ferrari. | |
