Parents and Families

From the moment a student first steps onto campus, Colgate becomes a source of pride for the entire family. Parents, grandparents, and siblings get caught up in the excitement of the university and play a vital role, not just in their own students' achievements, but in ensuring the ongoing success of the university.

Graduates carry torches in the traditional torchlight ceremony the night before commencement.

2013 Commencement

We invite parents, families, and guests to join us for 2013 commencement. Commencement exercises will be held 10:30 a.m. Sunday, May 19.

Please check back for updates and announcements as the weekend approaches.
