AROUND THE QUADS
STUDENT NEWS
NETWORKING
On March 25, more than 80 College students attended the first Student-Young
Alumni Dinner at the Columbia Club, jointly sponsored by Columbia
College Days (a Student Council initiative) and Student-Alumni Programs.
Among the 20 young alumni present were CCYA president Andy Topkins
’98, keynote speaker Welly Yang ’94 and former Alumni
Association president Jerry Sherwin ’55, who was instrumental
in planning the event. Michael C. Brown II ’06, who worked
with Jennifer Schnidman ’06 to plan the dinner, described
it as “a tremendous success. Students and alums are excited
to attend events like this in the future.”
Topkins noted, “Young alums like to stay connected to the
school, and there’s no better way to do so than through talking
to students. Conversely, many students asked young alums about how
to make career decisions and how to adjust to life after college,
something that young alums have experience with. A lot of positive
networking took place.”
