On April 13, 2007, the society launched its Global Leaders Lecture Series. We continue to invite notable speakers to campus each year, expanding Colgate's reputation and our students' access to 21st century newsmakers.

 Society of Families
The tradition continues
On December 8, 1954, a group of dedicated parents formed the “Society of Families of Colgate University,” beginning an outstanding tradition of providing generous support to the university and enhancing every aspect of the Colgate experience.
Dr. Joseph Campbell P’50,’54, accepted the chairmanship of the organization and its 22-member Society of Families Steering Committee. His son, Douglas Campbell ’50, P’80,’81, GP ’05,’08,’09, now serves, along with his wife, Sandra, as co-chair of the newly formed Grandparents’ Fund. |
