Society of Families Steering Committee Mission Statement and Responsibility of Members Established in 1954, the Steering Committee is a volunteer organization consisting of parents and grandparents of current Colgate students, representing all four class years. Members are selected annually. Terms of office run from the spring meeting of the committee to the following spring meeting. Meetings are held twice yearly on the Colgate campus; in the fall during Family Weekend, and on a designated spring weekend. Mission Statement To enhance and facilitate communications between Colgate and the parent body on topics of interest or concern to parents. To gather as an advisory cabinet as a resource to the President of the College and to the Dean of Students to reflect on and analyze issues and challenges facing Colgate, as well as offer advice and counsel to aid the administration as Colgate seeks to become one of the leading liberal arts universities of the 21st century. To mobilize parent resources in support of the programs and activities at Colgate by supporting Colgate with a leadership gift, soliciting financial support from other parents, and hosting a parent reception at their home or club. Responsibilities of Members Make Colgate your philanthropic priority. Support the Parents’ Fund with a leadership gift that will make a difference for The Passion for the Climb: The Campaign for Colgate. Your gift can be directed to the Unrestricted Parents’ Fund, the Restricted Parents’ Fund, the Global Leaders Lecture Series or to one of Colgate’s capital needs. Solicit 2-4 families for a Presidents’ Club gift ($2,000 minimum). The fall calling session runs from November to December. The Parents’ Fund staff will provide a roster of names along with relevant details about each individual. Host an event for parents and alumni. Events are generally hosted at someone’s home, club, or restaurant. The Parents’ Fund staff will work with you to determine an appropriate format such as a cocktail reception, bar-b-que, buffet dinner or sit-down dinner. Speakers from campus are available. Assist in donor identification and cultivation when appropriate. Attend regional events when available. 46 Colgate University’s fiscal year June 1 – May 31
The Global Leaders Lecture Series Challenge Encouraging Campus Wide Conversations The Global Leaders Lecture Series was launched on Colgate Day, Friday, April 13, 2007, with the generous support of the Society of Families and the Class of 2007. While expanding Colgate’s reputation as a premier center for liberal arts education, the series introduces the university community to key figures at the forefront of the human endeavor. It encourages campus-wide conversations that further our understanding of what it means to be a leader in the 21st century. Colgate alumni volunteer for 48 active alumni clubs located around the globe The Dali Lama wears a Colgate cap for the 2008 Global Leaders Lecture Series. An anonymous parent donor generously pledged $500,000 to match all gifts to the Global Leaders Lecture Series made before December 31, 2008. For every dollar contributed to the series, there will be a dollar match, doubling the value of each investment! The fund will allow the university to invite world-renowned speakers to campus. The challenge gift — and the gifts that meet it — will be instrumental in the success of this lecture series. Colgate University’s fiscal year June 1 – May 31 47
