Young Colgate alumni (Classes of 2009–2018) in six cities celebrated their alma mater’s 200th year at “Bicentennial Birthday Parties” in six U.S. cities on December 6, 2018. Their special birthday present to alma mater was gifts to benefit financial aid, matched by alumni challengers in each city.

From “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and other Yuletide tunes — to mainstream hits sung by Bing Crosby, Glenn Miller, and Sammy Davis Jr. — Johnny Marks, Colgate Class of 1931, made an enduring mark on popular songwriting.

���ճԹ� has launched 200.colgate.edu, host to the online aspects of the Bicentennial celebration honoring its 200-year history and anticipating its bright future.
