Colgate University Teams Up with Pathify to Launch New Portal Streamlining Access and Strengthening Campus Connections

Modern digital experience simplifies access to campus resources, unifies communications, and lays the foundation for long-term engagement for highly selective liberal arts college

DENVER, COLORADO and HAMILTON, NEW YORK — September 9, 2025 — Pathify, the leading digital engagement hub for higher education, and Colgate University, a leading liberal arts institution, today announced the launch of Colgate Portal — a centralized digital experience unifying access to campus systems and information for students, faculty and staff. The launch marks a major milestone in Colgate’s ongoing efforts to modernize its digital ecosystem and foster a more connected campus community.

Built on Pathify’s Engagement Hub platform, Colgate Portal replaces the university’s outdated desktop portal and standalone mobile app with a seamless, responsive experience consolidating critical tools and surfacing relevant content across devices and roles.

In their next phase, Colgate plans to expand its governance model to allow departments and business units to actively manage and customize content areas, leveraging Pathify’s real-time analytics for insights into platform usage and engagement trends.

“The new Colgate Portal streamlines access, improves visibility, and helps students, faculty and staff interact with the tools needed to succeed,” said Niranjan Davray, Chief Information Officer at Colgate University. “This platform represents a critical leap in building a more collaborative, engaged campus community.”

Colgate’s Information Technology Services (ITS) and University Communications teams evaluated several options before selecting Pathify for its modern architecture and forward-looking capabilities.

During testing with campus stakeholders, the new portal received praise from students, faculty and staff for its intuitive design, improved organization and the ease of navigation and access to critical academic life tools, including Ellucian Banner, Moodle and Localist.

“We’re excited to partner with Colgate University to bring this next-generation digital experience to life,” said Chase Williams, CEO and Co-Founder of Pathify. “The Colgate Portal is a valuable tool and app — a true engagement hub helping modernize Colgate’s infrastructure while empowering their users. We’re proud to support their vision for digital consolidation and transformation.”
