Tickets for the Dalai Lama's lecture at Colgate University will be made available starting Thursday (March 20).
As part of the university's Global Leaders Lecture Series, sponsored by Colgate's Parents' and Grandparents' Fund, the Dalai Lama will give a talk at Sanford Fieldhouse from 3 to 5 p.m. Tuesday, April 22.
Thanks to the generosity of Colgate's parents and grandparents, all tickets will now be complimentary.
Tickets for the campus community (faculty, staff, and students)
March 20-April 4: Members of the campus community can reserve preferred-seating tickets by logging on to the university portal. Faculty and staff may secure up to two tickets, and students are allowed to reserve one ticket.
Tickets will be mailed April 5, or arrangements can be made to pick them up at the Colgate Bookstore.
After April 4, all remaining tickets will become general admission and will be distributed through the Colgate Bookstore. (There is no guarantee that general admission tickets will remain available, so you are urged to reserve your preferred seating between March 20 and April 4.)
