This is your first official welcome to the Colgate University Class of 2030, and I’m excited to share your very first new student digest and video with you. Before long, “Class of 2030” will be more than just a phrase in an email. It will mean late-night laughs at the Coop, the quiet beauty of an autumn morning on the Hill, and the familiar ring of the bells over the quad. You’re no longer just looking at Colgate; you’re a part of it.
What’s next?
- Tomorrow your journey truly begins. You will receive an email with everything you need to start designing a Colgate experience that is uniquely yours. Think of the New Student Checklist as your personal roadmap — a step-by-step guide to preparing for your life at Colgate, from your first classes to your new home and everything in between. Tip: Make sure to activate your Colgate email account since some of these steps will require you to log in with your new student credentials. You received instructions on how to do this after you submitted your deposit.
- Keep an eye on your mailbox! We’ve mailed a special welcome brochure to you and your family. Inside you’ll find personal messages from Colgate community members, along with some helpful information.
- To help you settle in, I’ll be sending a new student digest every other week. I’ve even invited community members from across campus to guest-host these updates. Consider this a team effort — everyone at Colgate is working together to ensure your transition to college is as smooth and welcoming as possible.

Go, ’gate!
