We look forward to welcoming back all alumni to celebrate the friendships, affections, and memories that often draw you here in spirit.
Frequently Asked Questions
All alumni are welcome to return for reunion. We will be celebrating those with class years ending in 0 and 5. We will also honor our 50th reunion class, the class of 1975 and the 25th reunion class, the class of 2000.
Colgate staff members are working with volunteers from each class to plan special programming to honor these anniversaries. If you'd like to be involved in your class planning efforts, please contact alumni@colgate.edu.
Registration opens for the classes of 1950-1975 on October 9, 2024.
For all other classes, registration opens on February 13 and closes May 15. Early bird registration ends April 15.
We can accommodate walk-in registration during the weekend from 8 a.m. - midnight in Donovan's Pub. Please note, the Raider Weekend and Full Weekend options are still the only options, and on-campus housing might be limited.
Campus Housing
Campus housing will be available as part of the reunion registration form. If you have any questions about on-campus housing, please call Shelby Doyle at 315-228-7700. Please note, we have limited on-campus housing available for reunion.
Off-Campus Housing
While rooms are limited, you may express interest in hotel accommodations at the Colgate Inn or Hotel One75 via the Hotel Interest Form. We ask that you please do not call these hotels directly, as these reservations can only be made through the Office of Alumni Engagement.
Other off-campus accommodations, such as local house rentals, must be secured independently. A non-exhaustive list of area B&Bs and other local rentals can be found here, and many residents may list on Airbnb.
We expect to be able to accommodate a limited number of RVs for reunion weekend. Site reservations will be accepted through reunion registration.
Please note that RV parking will be assigned in the General Use Lot (near Tyler's Field, behind Community Memorial Hospital) and no hookups will be provided. RV parking will be restricted to assigned locations only in order to ensure adequate parking for regular sized vehicles throughout campus.
Email alumni@colgate.edu to become involved in your class’s reunion planning efforts.
Reunion Refund Policy
Colgate's Reunion fees cover costs associated with registration, housing, meals, programming, and more. Refunds can be accommodated up to May 15, 2025 less a non-refundable $15 processing fee. The $15 processing fee will apply to all cancellations; this fee offsets costs the Office of Alumni Engagement incurs each time a monetary transaction is processed. Changes to registration options will not incur a $15 processing fee.
On-demand shuttle service can be booked through First Transit for trips between campus and Syracuse or Utica.
