First-Year Orientation Outreach Program
Max A. Shacknai COVE sponsors a three-day pre-orientation service opportunity for first-year students called Outreach. “Outreachers” work in small groups on a variety of community projects designed to assist local organizations and agencies with their significant efforts.
This year, 18 upperclassmen led 32 first-year students in service experiences throughout the Hamilton and Utica communities. After each day of service, students reflected and discussed what their service experience might mean for their impending four years at Colgate. Overall, the program contributed more than 650 hours of service work in the short three-day span. Read more
