| Colgate Third Century Campaign

Before a welcoming crowd in Colgate Memorial Chapel on Friday evening, April 14, ballerina Misty Copeland talked about the challenges that come with being first.

Colgate University has raised more than $40 million in the first half of the 2022–2023 fiscal year. With these new gifts, the total raised during the Campaign for the Third Century now stands at $476 million — nearly half of the historic $1 billion goal.

“I am profoundly grateful for the generosity of Colgate’s alumni, parents, and friends,” says President Brian W. Casey. “The Third-Century vision is clear, our plan is ambitious, and our community has joined the effort with remarkable support.”

Colgate University broke ground Friday, Sept. 30, to celebrate the start of construction on the Benton Center for Creativity and Innovation, an anchor of the new Middle Campus, made possible through a $25 million gift from Daniel C. Benton ’80, H’10, P’10.

Dear Members of the Colgate Community,

It is pretty incredible to see what a motivated group of humans can do over the course of just 32 days since my last message to campus. As you’ll see in the photos below, construction crews have been very busy on the campus and downtown.

Colgate University’s Center for Arts, Creativity, and Innovation, which is nearing completion and expected to open in the fall, will be named Bernstein Hall in honor of the lead donor’s genealogical roots. Read more.

Dear Members of the Colgate Community,

I write today with the first in a series of monthly messages that will provide regular updates about the progress we are making together under the Third-Century Plan. We hope that these messages provide important information about the numerous projects currently underway or in the planning stages.
