The results are in for the contested election for two of the positions on the Alumni Council (the board of directors of the 32,000-member Colgate University Alumni Corporation). Please join us in congratulating Christopher “Kit” Smith ‘63 and Bart Hale ’04 - the candidates nominated by the Alumni Council - on being elected to four-year terms on the Council.

These two new members - along with the other Alumni Council nominees whose positions were not contested - will join an active, engaged Alumni Council in its work on behalf of Colgate’s alumni and students.

The results, as certified by ESC, are detailed below:
