Colgate University is an independent liberal arts institution that had its genesis in the American Protestant tradition. We carry this heritage forward in the work and worship of University Church, with gratitude for our founders, who saw no discrepancy between a life of faith and the pursuit of truth and learning. University Church strives to be a diverse Christian community of worship, sacrament, service, prayers, and intellectual engagement. All are welcome!Livestream is available here.

Please join us in a friendly competition to raise supplies for survivors with Colgate Heals Through Teal: SANE Drive Competition! Health and Wellness invite all University offices and departments to participate in this creative contest by filling a box with supplies needed for survivors and decorating it in shades of teal —the official color of sexual assault awareness.After being assaulted, many survivors go to Community Memorial Hospital to get a forensic exam done. During these exams, a survivor’s belongings might be taken from them for evidence. Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) and advocates at Help Restore Hope Center do their best to give survivors what they need in the moment. This is your chance to make a visible impact, raise awareness, and show solidarity with survivors of sexual violence. Together, we can turn Colgate into a powerful message of support!Simply register by Friday, March 28. Once registered, you’ll receive important resources, including a box to decorate, statistics, and information to help spread awareness about sexual assault and sexual violence.

National Poetry Month, launched by the Academy of American Poets in 1996, is an annual celebration in April that aims to highlight the importance of poetry and poets in American culture, encouraging people to read, write, and share poetry.The University Libraries, in collaboration with The Upstate Institute and the Adirondack Center for Writing, will be circulating a poetry machine throughout the Village of Hamilton in April.Pay attention the next time you’re at Case-Geyer, Flour & Salt, MOMs, or the Hamilton Public Library. You might encounter the ACW’s Poetry Machine.The Poetry Machine is an old capsule machine, the kind you might spend two quarters to get a bouncy ball, sticky hand, or small plastic alien from in the vestibule of a convenience store. With our machine, you can get your very own poem (for free—no quarters necessary).Inside the Poetry Machine are 10 different poems. Each one features a unique style of poetry, including haiku, cento, epistolary, list, ode, ekphrasis, prose poem, how-to, erasure, and cut-up.If you want to "check out" more poetry, visit the poetry display on the third floor of Case-Geyer.
