The following is a message from President Rebecca Chopp to the Colgate community:

As I meet and speak with Colgate students, faculty and staff, it is clear that the recent credit crisis and its impact on the financial markets and economies around the globe is a topic of concern to us all.

I am heartened by how many of you have asked me how our endowment is faring, how our alumni are doing in this situation, and how you can help.
