About 1,400 alumni returned to campus this past weekend, filling Whitnall Field with laughter and shared memories, offering provocative Reunion College sessions, and celebrating milestones and achievements.

In typical Chenango Valley fashion, the weather mostly cooperated, intermingling overcast skies with sunshine. The traditional All-Class Parade and Torchlight festivities were enjoyed by all; fireworks filled the air Friday night; and the Class of 1969 provided a band that had its tent jumping on Saturday evening.

It's a space so nice, they built it thrice. And on Tuesday, February 17, students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends all gathered at the James C. Colgate Student Union to cut the ribbon on a newly remodeled Donovan's Pub.

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.

It was early, 9 a.m. on Friday, but not too early for Colgate alumni to jump into a discussion about beliefs and explore the question: Does God exist?

It seems that some things, like an evocative classroom discussion with a faculty member, never change at Colgate.

Associate professor of philosophy David Dudrick led the conversation during the Reunion College event, one of dozens held during the weekend as some 2,000 alumni returned to campus.
