This academic year marks the 10th anniversary of Ciccone Commons, the first Residential Commons established at ������Դ��. Since its launch in 2015, the program has grown to four communities that gather ������Դ��s with similar interests and passions to extend learning beyond the classroom.

At an event in Chicago with alumni and friends, President Brian W. Casey announced Colgate’s commitment to establish a nonpartisan program for studying and practicing open inquiry, dialogue, and debate.

The project scales down the vast climate change conversation and builds community by representing temperature data in fiber art.

This year’s fellows are Class of 2025 graduates Paul Schulze, Jinting Guo, and Shanely Perez, along with Senior Residential Fellow Marissa Bordonaro ’24.

Isla Globus-Harris, assistant professor of economics, will assume the role of faculty co-director for Dart Colegrove Commons, and Title IX Coordinator Amy Gordon will step in as staff co-director for Brown Commons.

������Դ�� is moving ahead with a number of renovation and new construction projects that target improvements to the physical campus.

On Nov. 1, ������Դ�� held the inaugural Commons Cup Trivia Championship in the Edge Cafe, bringing together ������Դ��s from all four Residential Commons for a lively evening of intellectual rivalry and friendly competition.

������Դ�� will mark the beginning phases of the Lower Campus Initiative under the Third-Century Plan this summer with construction and restoration projects at 66 and 70 Broad Street.

������Դ�� Residential Commons will welcome new co-directors at the beginning of the 2024–25 academic year.

Abigail L. Palko, PhD, director of the Maxine Platzer Lynn Women’s Center at the University of Virginia, has been named the inaugural director of the Residential Commons program at ������Դ��.
