Scott Jackson Part of Colby College Ensemble that Performed at Jazz at Lincoln Center

2017 Dec 11

Student jazz musicians from Colby College performed at Jazz at Lincoln Center on Dec. 6 as part of the college's New York campaign launch celebration. Hongyong Zhang, Yitong Deng, Scott Jackson, Christopher Minklei, Madiha Molani, Ian Baum, Tessa Hauptman, Will Haines, Raj Kane, and Jake Lester performed for alumni and friends of the college at the event.

The student performance was part of a larger New York event that included a lighting of the Empire State Building in "Colby Blue" and an appearance at the Nasdaq Stock Market by Colby's President David A. Greene.

Dubbed "Dare Northward" to reflect the bold and unprecedented nature of the initiatives and priorities it will support, the $750-million campaign will make it possible for Colby to introduce transformational programs, build on already strong academic programs, improve access to a Colby education for deserving students from around the globe, and provide outstanding new facilities that support a multidisciplinary approach to learning and connect the college to the community beyond its campus.
