Farewell, @ColgateAthletic. Thank you for an incredible 4.5 years filled with remarkable @colgateuniv people, big dreams, and championship moments. We loved, listened and led, and we competed in #everyfieldeveryarena. I'm so proud of my time as a Raider. Thank you so very much.❤️

Grieving the loss of this friend and colleague who impacted student-athletes and intercollegiate athletics for good. A double loss, for her daughter was so wanted & loved. May we redouble our commitment to make each day we get to make a difference, & do so with joy and gratitude.
We are deeply heartbroken by the passing of Athletic Director Dr. Kristina Navarro-Krupka this weekend. She was a champion for the entire @uwplatteville, especially our student-athletes, coaches, and staff. Condolences to Nick, her family, friends and everyone she impacted. 💙🧡
