Colgate is a highly selective residential liberal arts institution distinguished by academic excellence and interdisciplinary inquiry.

With small classes and a strong emphasis on faculty-student interaction, we help students become thoughtful, critical thinkers and perceptive leaders. Critical to this goal is residence in a community that values all forms of intellectual rigor. 

This means fostering diversity of thought and action by offering 54 majors and numerous minors and a Liberal Arts Core Curriculum that has been recognized as one of the most ambitious and elegant general education programs in the country. Additionally, our students contribute to a vibrant campus culture that complements and expands on the knowledge created in our classrooms and labs.

Kate Fallon '16 gets the story, runs with it.

Kate Fallon '16 participated in what is known as the "running of the interns." Interns of various news organizations wait in the Supreme Court for decisions to be released and then hand deliver hard copies of the news to their media teams. If the decisions are groundbreaking, interns sprint with hopes of being the first to break the news. So they must come prepared — pairing their business attire with running shoes. This past week, the decisions were groundbreaking.
