Class of 1988 Susan (Alaimo) Rogers feels very blessed, having survived two heart attacks in July 2020. After the first one, she was hospitalized for 26-hours. After the second
one, which occurred about ten days later, she was hospitalized for almost a week. “I am one of the lucky ones who knew the signs of a heart attack and got the warnings,” she shares.

Class of 1985 Kathleen A. Dill received the Wm. Brian Little ’64 Alumni Award for Distinguished Service from her alma mater, Colgate University. As stated at the presentation of the award, “Wherever her career has led, volunteering for Colgate has been central in Kathleen’s life. She’s active in the New York City district club, served on the Women’s Advisory Committee, represents the admission office, counsels students and alumni about careers in finance and communications, and participates with Alumni of Color. On the Alumni Council, Kathleen’s roles included treasurer, member of the Nominations Committee, and chair of the Admissions Committee. She was elected to the Colgate Board of Trustees in 2013 as an Alumni Trustee and completed two three-year terms. A wise and tenacious fundraiser, Kathleen has been a member of her class’s Gift Committee for years, and as she approached her retirement from the Alumni Council and Board of Trustees, she led an appeal among alumni that added more than $10,000 to an assistance fund available to students through the Office of Undergraduate Studies. One veteran staff member who has known Kathleen in all her roles calls her ’as good as it gets for a volunteer.’” Kathleen continues to volunteer for other organizations that are dear to her heart, including Millbrook School, where she is serving in her fifth year as a trustee.
