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.

Bob Woodruff '83, a member of Colgate University's Athletic Hall of Honor and standout lacrosse player before his career in journalism, was among seven former NCAA student-athletes to receive the prestigious 2008 NCAA Silver Anniversary Award.

The award recognizes former student-athletes who have completed successful collegiate careers in various sports and have excelled in their chosen professions.

The Office of Public Relations and Communications is moving to a new platform for posting and distributing stories that appear on www.colgate.edu.
