Columbia Reunion 2024 is Thursday–Saturday, May 30–June 1, and registration for our 55th reunion is open!
Note from the CC'69 Reunion Committee
We’re reuniting again on Morningside — Thursday, May 30–Saturday, June 1 — for our 55th Anniversary! The undersigned Steering Committee is organizing class-wide events and there will be time set aside for private get-togethers on and around campus.
As you probably already know, we now belong to a cohort of “Golden Lions'' comprising classes 50 years out and older. The weekend festivities will give us a chance to spend time together — not just at our own programs — but also with alumni from the Class of 1973 and earlier. Thus far we have confirmed Roger Lehecka, dean emeritus of students and current faculty member (whom many of you know as a student colleague in the 1960s), as the featured speaker at a Golden Lions Reception and Dinner on Saturday, June 1.
We hope to see you for Reunion weekend! When registering, please choose the Golden Lion’s package, or call the alumni office at 212-851-7807 to register by phone. Mention or enter the code GOLDENLIONS to receive $75.00 off!
