She Gets Our Vote
Mary Gay Scanlon ’80 (“U.S. Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon ’80 is not afraid to speak up.”; summer 2023, p. 32) is actually my representative, and I voted for her but had no idea she was a Colgate alum! Thanks for sharing.
Jessica More ’10
Wonderful! I didn’t realize she went to Colgate! Love seeing the grads who are focused on public interest highlighted!
Meredith Marzuoli ’02
Loved that in the article she also mentioned a history prof I enjoyed as well: Jack Rakove!
Edie Delavan ’78 Steele
Rock Solid
Dixie [Henry ’96] (“My Colgate research motivated me to become…,” summer 2023, p. 38) is one of the most sincerely nice human beings I’ve ever met. I bet she brings new levels of not only competence and brilliance, but also compassion and understanding to every project and group lucky enough to work with her!
David W. Harris ’92
From One Sports Reporter to Another
As an old WRCU sports director, I salute Dave for what he’s done! (Profile of David Lloyd ’83, summer 2023, p. 71)

Embracing a Challenge
Wow, what an amazing story! (“My Step Across the Pond,” summer 2023, p. 8.) Appreciate the opportunity to consume a challenging and uplifting experience.

It’s currently summer of 2023 and I’m just now reading the summer edition of Colgate Magazine 2022. Why? Well, every season as I await the arrival of the most recent publication from Colgate, I promise myself that I will set aside 30 minutes or so, quickly read the president’s comments, and then skim over the remainder of the magazine. And every season I fail; I immerse myself in the articles and information, I “travel back” to my days on campus, I reflect on the Colgate mission, and wonder if I “represent.” Because you are publishing such a great quarterly, I’m reading the magazine (mostly) cover to cover! And for me this takes some time due to my nostalgia side tracks. Of course this is a lame excuse for being so far behind in what should be current reading — however, I did want to write and let you know how impressed I am with every issue. I’m always entertained, I always learn something, and for sure, I’m always inspired reading about campus happenings, my classmates, and other alums.
Thanks for producing such a great alumni magazine. Keep up the amazing work.
