Jack Lira ’26: From Colgate to Cannes

Not many students get to enjoy an internship experience fit for the big screen, but this summer Jack Lira ’26 assembled a variety of experiences from behind the scenes to the red carpet.

As a rising senior with an English major and Film and Media Studies minor, he pursued internships, volunteer work, and events that sharpened his passion for a career in film.

His summer experience began in May with sales company Visit Films which represents films internationally from the world’s top festivals, including Cannes, Sundance, SXSW, and Tribeca. The company works on films in all stages of production, from development to final cut, and licenses them to theatrical distributors around the world.

Lira joined Visit Films at the Cannes Film Festival in France, shadowing sales meetings with international distributors and learning directly from professionals through networking events and panel discussions.

Manzi Fellows Shape Their Career Paths at Boston Nonprofits

For nearly three decades, Colgate University’s Jim P. Manzi ’73 Fellowship has provided a pathway for more than 300 students to pursue nonprofit summer internships in the Boston area. The fellowship extends Colgate's engagement with community-based organizations while providing fellows with a stipend and covering housing expenses during the 10-week program.

This summer, the program selected 12 Manzi Fellows — a reflection of their commitment to service-based work and a desire to continue in the field after graduation. Fellows gained experience in health care, education, and community service, each bringing their liberal arts background and skills to the host organizations.

The Tuck Business Bridge Program at Colgate Expands Its Size

Colgate University is nearly doubling the cohort of its Tuck Business Bridge Program at Colgate, from 25 to 40 students, after a successful launch last year.

Colgate and the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College formed an institutional partnership in 2024, giving Colgate students access to the rigorous Tuck Business Bridge Program.

Through the generosity of Giovanni ’94 and Maree Cutaia, the program will also double the number of students receiving full financial scholarships to attend, from 10 to 20. In doing so, the University will prepare students to be successful candidates for internships and jobs.

“We are excited to continue our partnership with Dartmouth College and its Tuck School of Business Administration,” says Colgate President Brian W. Casey. “We received overwhelmingly positive feedback from students last year and look forward to continuing to make this opportunity available to more Colgate students.”
