Members of the senior class flocked to campus this past weekend to attend Real World events, and one of the main messages they heard from alumni was that a liberal arts education will serve them well in any economic climate.

Real World involves networking events and more than 30 panel discussions led by alumni involved in careers from fashion to finance.

Carole Robinson '83 kicked off things as keynote speaker, and she recalled working as a tour guide while at Colgate and how she was practically a walking advertisement for the university.

Colgate Vice President for Alumni Affairs RuthAnn Loveless MA '72 has announced that Timothy Mansfield will be the university's next director of alumni affairs.
