Caring for your wellbeing means supporting you holistically — intellectually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. Colgate’s integrated health and wellness resources set you up to thrive and build confidence in prioritizing your health.
Student Health Services
Student Health Services provides high-quality, confidential healthcare to every student. Our medical professionals offer a wide range of treatments and services, including general health, examinations for illness and injury, limited laboratory services, and routine vaccines and immunizations.
Counseling and Psychological Services
Professional counselors at the counseling center are available 24/7 to listen, offer advice, and provide direction. As a free, confidential resource for students’ mental health needs, they offer a variety of services, including individual and group therapy and referrals.
Fitness
There are so many opportunities for students to stay active and healthy at Colgate. Trudy Fitness Center is equipped with cardio and strength-training equipment. We offer group exercise classes like spinning and boxing as well as recreational sports. Fitness can also take the form of playing pickup basketball or scaling the climbing wall in Huntington Gymnasium, hiking Colgate’s cross-country trails, or throwing a frisbee on Whitnall Field.
Safety
Ensuring the Colgate campus is a safe place to live and learn is the Campus Safety team’s primary commitment. Colgate’s trained, NYS-licensed officers provide emergency and nonemergency response services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Haven Survivor Support Services
Haven is Colgate’s sexual violence resource center, a safe place for survivors to receive confidential care, support, advocacy, and clinical services. Haven’s student ambassadors educate the campus through prevention programs, while Haven’s professional counselors also provide survivor-centric individual and group therapy and prevention programming.
Shaw Wellness Institute
The Shaw Wellness Institute helps students navigate their holistic wellness journeys. Shaw’s professional and student staff members help students focus on all areas of wellness: physical, emotional, intellectual, financial, social, and more.
