Trustee Emeritus Chase Carey ’76, his wife, Wendy, and their children Steve ’12 and Tara ’13 have made a transformative $25 million gift to spearhead a comprehensive renovation of the Reid Athletic Center and support other elements of the University’s Third-Century Plan.
A generous $5 million gift from Trustee Emeritus Rob Kindler ’76, P’04,’08,’12 and his wife, Sydney P’17,’20, in support of the Middle Campus Plan for Arts, Creativity, and Innovation has moved Colgate University one step closer to its vision of integrating arts and innovation in a wide range of programs across campus.
Colgate University has announced the creation of four new endowed chairs, approved by the Board of Trustees during its January 2022 meeting, all made possible due to the generosity of Colgate alumni.
