ALUMNI CORNER

Priorities for Engaging College Alumni

By Bob Berne ’60
President, Columbia College Alumni Association

As I begin my term as president of the Alumni Association, I look forward to continuing its work in engaging College alumni in a number of areas that are important to Columbia. The Alumni Association officers and the Alumni Office staff have identified several topics that we will emphasize during the next several years. They are:

• undergraduate financial aid: helping to prepare the case for the coming campaign through the voice of alumni;

• participation: the College/University collaboration;

• career education: how we, as alumni, can help to shape a program to help current students;

• the Columbia College Fund: building on the strength of fund raising with volunteer support; and

• a major initiative: working with the College to enrich the major experience for students.

Following are the alumni members of the Columbia College Board of Visitors and the Alumni Association Board of Directors for 2004–05 (faculty and student members were being finalized at press time).
