Colgate’s professors are as committed to their teaching as they are to their own research and publication. In classrooms, laboratories, studios, and in the field, they share the joy of creating new knowledge and sharing it with the world.

Colgate’s teaching power continues to grow, despite national trends to the contrary. During the past two years, 20 new faculty positions were added, bringing interdisciplinary depth and new ways of thinking and teaching to Colgate.

Research by Colgate faculty members appears in the most-respected academic journals in the world, and faculty members are quoted on newsworthy topics of the day, from the future of Egypt after the fall of President Hosni Mubarak (political scientist Bruce Rutherford), to the relative investment potential of a New York City taxi medallion (sociologist Graham Hodges).
