The Office of LGBTQ+ Initiatives invites you to the annual Lavender Graduation, a celebration of LGBTIQA+ graduates and allies.This year's Lavender Graduation theme is "The Power of Queer Peership." As a community, we strive, we evolve, we mourn, we grieve, we celebrate, we educate, and we learn. We power through disagreements and we come together to support each other. Our seniors are an epitome of perseverance, passion, social justice and, most importantly, queer peership. Through their years at Colgate, they have influenced multiple changes and have advocated for their peers, creating a safer campus, and building meaningful connections. They have mentored and inspired younger students to take action and become a part of the family. They created spaces, organizations, and programs that have increased the sense of belonging. Their presence is undeniably gigantic. Their hearts and souls are made of lavender - a true symbol of empowerment. This is a queer* circle of life; this is a true queer peership.RSVP - Apr 246:00 PMOpen Zazen MeditationCampus Life | Chapel House, Chapel

In 2017, Kristen T. Woodward was able to witness a total solar eclipse in Knoxville, Tennessee, and was moved by the dramatic planetary display. She is looking forward to viewing another eclipse in her hometown of Webster, New York in April, as we will be in that exquisite path of totality. Woodward marvels at how science has allowed us to countdown the minutes while other events in our lives appear random and chaotic. The experience leaves one to ponder what is pre-ordained. By including images inspired by solar eclipse, her encaustic paintings intend to capture this conflict and visual tension between chaos and natural order.Woodward received her BFA in Printmaking from Syracuse University, and her MFA in Studio Art from Clemson University. Her zoomorphic paintings combine encaustic and print processes, and often utilize found collage materials. Woodward is a professor in the department of art and art history at Albright College, teaching drawing, painting, printmaking, and gender and the visual arts. Currently, she is collaborating with an environmental biologist to explore tropical ecosystems in Costa Rica. Woodward serves as is Resident Curator for the online site Artists2Artists. - Apr 258:30 AMOpen Zazen MeditationCampus Life | Chapel House, Chapel

This exhibition, co-curated by Longyear Curatorial Assistant Summer Frazier and Curatorial Intern Raquel Marquez-Guerrero ‘24, explores the different ways that art leverages the creative process to metabolize conflict or aggression. This healing manifests in various forms, ranging from redefining narratives to empathizing with personal or communal losses. These artists, working in media from 2D to 3D to street and graffiti art, intentionally confront discontent, fostering creative growth and finding solutions. In this context, their art becomes a means to process pain and to construct bridges amidst conflict. In addition to art, this exhibition also explores various ways that plants can be used in healing processes.
