AROUND THE QUADS
Witten To Receive Hamilton Medal
On Thursday, November 17, Richard E. Witten ’75, vice-chairman
of the University Board of Trustees, chair of the Trustees’ Committee
on Alumni Relations and Development, member of the board of the Columbia
University Investment Management Company and former chair of the College
Board of Visitors, was honored in Low Rotunda with the 2005 Alexander
Hamilton Medal.
Each fall, the Columbia College Alumni Association presents the medal
to an alumnus or faculty member for distinguished service and accomplishment
in any field of endeavor. It is the highest honor the College bestows.
Witten, senior managing director of The Orienta Group, an investment
and advisory firm, as well as a published novelist, is a co-chair of
the University’s
upcoming capital campaign and has made major contributions to
the renovation of Hamilton Hall, to the Core Curriculum and to the
College’s financial aid campaign. He also is one of several alumni who
are sponsoring the Institute for Israeli and Jewish Studies at Columbia and
a named professorship in that Institute. Witten and his wife, Lisa ’97
TC, live in Westchester County, N.Y., with their children.
