Those who spend significant time in central New York know that there are four full seasons. The further into autumn, the more likely that temperatures will drop considerably and rain will dampen any outdoor celebration. For several years we have welcomed families to campus after the fall break. In response to feedback from attendees, the University has decided to shift family weekend to a time earlier in the semester. This should increase the chance of a warmer, sunnier climate in Hamilton.
If you have already made hotel reservations at the Colgate Inn or Hotel One75, those arrangements will be adjusted accordingly. The University community hopes to make up for any inconvenience with ample fun and Colgate spirit on the program next September. As ever, the schedule will include athletic competitions, arts events, open classrooms, food trucks, family dinner, religious services, and much more.
