Made possible by the tremendous generosity of the Davis family and trustee of its charitable foundation Andrew Davis 85, LL.D. 15, the Davis Institute for Artificial Intelligence will provide new pathways for talented students and faculty to research, create, and apply AI and machine learning (ML) across disciplines while setting a precedent for how liberal arts colleges can shape the future of AI.

For decades the Davis family, through The Shelby Cullom Davis Charitable Fund, has contributed generously to the evolution of the academic and cocurricular experience at Colby, and the Davis Institute builds on this tradition of leadership. With Andrew Daviss support, his family provided a $25-million gift in 2017 to create DavisConnects, Colbys innovative model for post-graduate success, as well as a $10-million lead gift in 2013 to construct the Davis Science Center on Colbys campus. In 2000 the Davis family selected Colby as one of five partner institutions to pilot the Davis United World College Scholars Program (UWC), which funded UWC graduates attendance at Colby and continues to make a profound impact at the College.
