I recently had the pleasure of catching up with Liz Hartman ’80, P’10. We discussed her involvement with WLC, Colgate, her generous philanthropy and passion for the arts, especially in the context of the arts, creativity, and innovation initiative in the Third-Century Plan. Our conversation left me inspired and wishing we’d spent a lot more time together during our years at Colgate.

When approached by a Colgate Advancement officer about a Reunion gift, Martha Rose, Class of 2007, generously offered to establish a scholarship in her family’s name and join the Women’s Leadership Council. Helping to increase access to undergraduate education, the “first place you think about being an adult,” fit well with Rose’s education-focused philanthropic priorities.
