Benefit news for July and August 2022.

On Monday, Colgate will be closed in observance of the Juneteenth holiday. On Jan. 1, 1863, President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, outlawing the enslavement of human beings descended from Africa. It took more than two years for news to reach the last of those enslaved in Texas on June 19, 1865. As we approach this holiday, I ask that you take the time to reflect on our nation’s history — and its promise.

Jozef “Joe” Malinowski grew up in Utica and currently lives in Deerfield. He’s worked for Colgate since 2013, first as a gift processing assistant and now as department administrator for principal gifts and donor relations. A quote from his nomination reads, “Joe is the epitome of a team player. He has been stepping in to fill staffing gaps all year, most notably during end-of-calendar-year gift processing, when he was the only staff member available to ensure timely and accurate processing of thousands of donations. His quiet steadiness exemplifies grace under pressure, and he always has a smile on his face.”

Ruth “Ruthie” Bridge grew up in Oriskany Falls and attended Oriskany Falls High School. She has worked in the Student Health Services office for Doc Miller since 2003, although she began her career at Colgate several years earlier as a temporary worker in the music department and the library.
