Colgate's green efforts were the focus of a "spotlight" article by the Environmental News Network website.

The story highlights the university's past efforts to reduce its environmental impact and examines its newest initiatives, spearheaded by the Environmental Council and new sustainability coordinator, John Pumilio.

Colgate's Earth Day celebration transformed the Ho Science Center atrium into an environmental carnival. Live music by student bands and a vegan barbeque complemented the table displays representing this semester's Green Summit initiatives.

Following the planting of 200 tree saplings on the former university ski hill, students, faculty, and community members gathered to learn more about the progress of environmental projects on campus, while enjoying the fun atmosphere.
