What do you do on campus?
On Campus I am involved in Rugby, The Ballet Company, and the Sidekicks program.
 
Please elaborate on your experience with the ballet company:
I got involved with ballet here because I was super involved with ballet in high school. Performing the Nutcracker was really great because it’s always been a part of the holiday tradition for me. In addition, seeing how much fun the kids from the community had was really rewarding.
 
How does one get involved with ballet or dance at Colgate?
Getting involved with dance here was really easy. I signed up for a few groups at the activities fair. Some of them required auditions but many of them, including ballet, did not. I would suggest getting involved if you have any interest in dance!
 
What is your favorite thing about Colgate?
Definitely the people. Everyone here is so fun and nice that it really made the transition easy!
 
Where is your favorite place on campus?
