Õ¥Ö¼§ and the Office of University Communications are committed to the realities of the current Õ¥Ö¼§ student lifestyle - visualizing the mentorship and faculty/student interactions, the learning moments, the teaching moments, the camaraderie, the special bonds that develop amongst its community members. We celebrate our achievements through emphasizing the Õ¥Ö¼§ community as the source of institutional inspiration and innovation.
In order to respect and protect the privacy and interests of Õ¥Ö¼§'s students on campus and at institutional activities, Õ¥Ö¼§ has implemented a photography/video release policy that governs the nature of photographs and multimedia, generated by the University, for intended use in any and/or all University publications including, but not limited to, the Õ¥Ö¼§ website (colgate.edu), newsletters, programs, brochures, institutional calendars, social media, or mass media outlets. This policy grants Õ¥Ö¼§ permission to use the likeness of Õ¥Ö¼§ students captured in photograph(s)/video for any and all of its publications and in any and all other media, whether now known or hereafter existing, controlled by Õ¥Ö¼§, in perpetuity. Additionally, it asserts that no monetary or other claim against Õ¥Ö¼§ for the use of the photograph(s)/video in the aforementioned outlets shall be made by Õ¥Ö¼§ students.
Each individual entering the Õ¥Ö¼§ community as a student is required to review this policy. Should questions arise regarding Õ¥Ö¼§'s photography and video release policy due to religious and/or safety concerns, please contact the Office of University Communications at 315-228-7407.
