Colgate in Focus (CIF) provides prospective students the opportunity to engage with current students, faculty, and staff on a range of topics for a deeper understanding of diversity in Colgate's student experience.
In the spirit of Colgate’s Plan for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, CIF recognizes that, “a great institution is a diverse institution. It is one that brings students of different socioeconomic backgrounds, races and ethnicities, and religions to campus.” This program is one representation of Colgate’s commitment to the ideals of encouraging an inclusive community. It is intended for high school seniors who identify as low-income, first-generation, or other historically excluded backgrounds who have overcome unique personal or structural challenges in their journey to pursue post-secondary education.
