“During my time at Colgate there were countless people who made a substantial and lasting impact on my life. One individual who stands out is Robert Tyburski ’74. He has been an outstanding mentor and friend, offering his perspective on everything from my coursework to Student Government to strategizing career decisions. Since I left campus he has continued to be a presence in my life and I always look forward to the next time I’ll be on the Hill to pick up where we left off.”
