Provost and Dean of the Faculty Announcements

As the spring of 2025 draws to a close, I write to remind you of aspects of our academic regulations that are particularly pertinent at the end of each semester.

Please join us in celebrating the achievements of our students at the Awards Convocation on Friday, May 2, at 4 p.m. in the Colgate Memorial Chapel.

It is time to prepare for the spring 2025 collection of electronic SET forms. SET form administration will take place from April 21 through May 2, 2025.

I am deeply saddened to report that Carolina Castilla, Richard M. Kessler Professor of Economic Studies, passed away on Saturday, April 12, at the age of 47 following a short battle with an aggressive cancer.

We are writing about the final exam period, end-of-semester assignments, and self-scheduled exams.

We invite you to attend the 2025 Liberal Arts Core Curriculum Retreat on Tuesday, May 13, and Wednesday, May 14 at the White Eagle Appley Center in Hamilton, N.Y.

With sadness, we share the passing of Charles “Charlie” Naef, Associate Professor of Political Science, who passed away at the age of 94, on Tuesday, February 25, 2025.

As I’ve said in faculty meetings and other settings, one of the greatest pleasures of being the Provost and Dean of the Faculty is to learn about the remarkable accomplishments of colleagues through their promotion and tenure review dossiers.
