Dear members of the campus community:
It is with deep sadness that I share the tragic news that two students, Cathryn (Carey) Depuy ’19 and Ryan Adams ’19, both of Ridgefield, Conn., died this afternoon in a plane crash in Morrisville, N.Y. after taking off from Hamilton Municipal Airport. We have been in contact with both students’ families. No further details are available at this time.
For Colgate students affected by this difficult news, counseling center and chaplain’s office staff members (315-228-7385) will be available in Judd Chapel on the lower level of Memorial Chapel this evening. Tomorrow, the counseling center (315-228-7385) will be open and available to Colgate students. As always, counseling is available to members of the faculty and staff through the Employee Assistance Program (315-451-2161).
In light of this tragedy, some of Monday’s campus events will be postponed or cancelled. Please consult the campus calendar for updates.
A community vigil will be held at Colgate Memorial Chapel at 7:30 p.m. Monday evening.
Sincerely,
Suzy M. Nelson
Vice President and Dean of the College
