AROUND THE QUADS
Class of 2007 Revels at Senior Dinner
About 1,000 members of the Class of 2007 dressed up and stepped out to a huge tent on South Field for the Senior Dinner on May 1, renewing what has quickly become one of the most joyous traditions of graduation month. Dean Austin Quigley, the keynote speaker, drew raucous cheers as he addressed the celebrating soon-to-be graduates, observing, “You can claim not only to be properly educated, but to be able to swim.” As the seniors whooped it up, Arvind Kabada ’07, chair of the Columbia College Senior Fund, proudly announced that the Class of 2007 had surpassed its goal of 84 percent participation and set a record for all Ivy League liberal arts colleges at 84.5 percent, nudging out the Class of 2006, which had 83.5 percent participation. By reaching its goal, the Class of 2007 earned a matching gift of $50,000 from Board of Visitors member Charles Santoro ’82. Class President David Chait ’07 welcomed the attendees for their evening of merriment, Dinner Chairs Ngozi Okoh ’07 and Laura Taranto ’07 delivered a toast and Alumni Association President Brian C. Krisberg ’81 added remarks.
