The Third-Century Plan
Colgate University looks toward its third century with pride and a sense of possibility. Launched in 2019, the Third-Century Plan represents the largest and most important transformation in the history of Colgate. It will complete the physical campus and fully realize Colgate’s potential to become one of America’s great institutions.
Task Forces and Reports
The President routinely charges task forces and working groups to address issues of interest to the Colgate community. Recommendations from these groups can prompt new initiatives or policies that inform University actions.
