Columbia’s Morningside Heights campus came alive May 28-May 31 when nearly 2,000 Columbians of all generations reunited to celebrate their College experience. Alumni from class years ending in 0 and 5 along with the class of 2014, which celebrated a first year Reunion, reminisced with classmates and friends while enjoying class dinners, lectures by world-renowned faculty, campus tours, a wine tasting on the Steps and much more. Alumni also ventured back into the City and experienced an exclusive New York City Ballet Backstage tour, revisited their favorite neighborhood haunts, did an exclusive tour at the Museum of Modern Art and partied all night on four floors and the rooftop deck of Stage 48 with their Barnard, General Studies and Engineering classmates at the lively Young Alumni Party. Thank you to all of our alumni who made it a truly memorable reunion weekend!
