The Office of Communications has responsibility for campus and external communications, publications, and media relations, including editorial oversight of Colgate’s web page.
1. External External Communication The Colgate Scene is the University’s regular link to some 40,000 alumni, parents of undergraduates, and friends. It is also distributed to faculty and seniors and, periodically, to prospective students. Since the periodical’s purpose is to provide an accurate, rounded, and and vivid picture of Colgate, faculty contributions of writing, story ideas, photography, and graphics are strongly encouraged. Contributions may include such subjects as faculty or student profiles, book reviews and essays on special courses, programs or events of special interest that are noteworthy at Colgate. Faculty members interested in contributing to the Colgate Scene should contact the managing editor. Anchor chap5secl1 chap5secl1
