Colgate wrote the book on off-campus study. The storied Washington D.C. study group, a unique semester-long NIH experience, faculty-led trips around the globe, and research abroad — all of these options for off-campus learning add depth to the Colgate experience.
Last winter, Kara Vadman ’14 and Mikhaila Redovian ’15 joined geology professor Amy Leventer aboard the research vessel Palmer for a trip into the Totten Glacier region of Antarctica. There, they worked with other scholars to take core samples and analyze sediments that could provide snapshots of the glacier’s recent and long-term behavior. You can read more about the trip on the Colgate news blog, and you can review posts from Vadman and Redovian themselves on their Totten blog.
