About the Colby Fellowship
The Colby Fellowship was established in 2019 with the assistance of a donation by Andrea Colby, an Albany Law graduate and member of the Board of Trustees, and as part of Albany Law School’s Health and Wellness program. Colby Fellows are selected each year to assist the Office of Student Affairs in carrying out the goals of the Albany Law School Health and Wellness program: (a) to raise awareness of issues related to health and wellness; (b) to provide resources for members of the law school community who are dealing with issues related to mental health and wellness; and (c) to provide educational programming related to mental, physical, social, financial and academic health and wellness within the law school community.
Fellowship Requirements:
Colby fellows will be responsible for working with the Office of Student Affairs to further the law school’s mission of developing programs and initiatives related to mental health and wellness. Fellows will satisfy this requirement by assisting the Office of Student Affairs in planning monthly health and wellness programs, working on wellness initiatives and conducting research on mental health/wellness, which will be presented to the law school community in the format of a presentation or roundtable discussion. The fellows will work under the supervision of the Associate Dean for Student Affairs.
Hiring Criteria:
Two students (preferably one second-year student and one third-year student) will be selected to serve as Colby Fellows each year. Fellows must have a G.P.A. of 2.5 or higher and demonstrate an interest in and commitment to working on initiatives related to health and wellness within the law school and legal community.
