Real-estate executive Abigail Black Elbaum ’92 and Legacy Project founder Andrew Carroll ’93 received Columbia College Young Alumni Achievement Awards on September 24 in New York.

Elbaum, who earned an M.B.A. from the Business School in 1994, joined her family’s real estate business, Milstein Properties, in 1999 after spending five years at JPMorgan Chase. An active alumna, Elbaum has served on the Alumni Association Board of Directors, chaired the Hamilton Associates program and recently was elected to the College’s Board of Visitors. In accepting the award, Elbaum noted how much she has enjoyed giving back to Columbia and hailed “the fresh perspective that young alumni can give” to their school.

Carroll, who was profiled in the November 1999 CCT, is the editor of three books including The New York Times bestseller War Letters. He is the founder and director of the Legacy Project, which seeks out and preserves wartime correspondence, and is the co-founder and director of the American Poetry & Literacy Project, which distributes free poetry books at various public venues. He noted “how much I consider important in my life was ignited and sparked” at the College and said, “To receive an award from an institution I love profoundly means more than I can express.” A.S.
