The Maroon-News Today

Today, The Colgate Maroon-News strives to live up to its legacy as America’s oldest college weekly. Students from all corners of campus work as writers, editors and photographers to create high quality stories on the topics that matter. The paper is laid out every Tuesday and distributed weekly on Friday, except for during school breaks. The Maroon-News seeks to provide coverage on stories pertinent to both the Colgate community and residents of the Village of Hamilton, reaching readers via traditional print and an expanding online presence. The paper is free to readers on campus, and can be found in most academic buildings as well as in several downtown businesses. Subscriptions for off-campus readers are available for purchase at the beginning of each academic year.

Pre-Orientation Program

The Colgate Maroon-News is among the few student organizations at Colgate who get to welcome incoming first-years to campus early for a pre-orientation program. Our program teaches participants journalism basics over the course of four days and culminates in the publication of the first issue of the Maroon-News for the new school year. The pre-orientation program is a fast track to joining our editorial staff, and a great way to learn the skills needed to do great reporting from day one. Not to mention you’ll meet great people, get acclimated to life in Hamilton and immerse yourself in the Colgate community before the rest of your class arrives. If you have questions, please contact [email protected].

Article Removals

The Colgate Maroon-News does not remove articles from its website without a compelling legal justification. As the newspaper of record at Colgate University, altering content on our website would be a disservice to readers and the community. This practice follows that of reputable publications nationwide. If you have a legal reason to remove an article from the website, email [email protected].
