Reunion 2007
Welcome!
Over 1,100 alumni and guests came back to campus on April 13-15, 2007, to reconnect with old friends, network with classmates, attend faculty programs and special class dinners. Celebrating the alumni from the MBA and Executive MBA classes of 1957, 1962, 1967, 1972, 1977, 1982, 1987, 1992, 1997, 2002, and 2006, the weekend was a wonderful success! You only have to look at all the smiling faces to see the pride, power and dynamism of the Columbia Business School alumni network.
To those of you who attended, thank you for making the weekend such a success! We look forward to hearing your feedback so that we can plan for future Reunion weekends.
The weekend included Faculty and Alumni Presentations with several alumni and guest speakers at the Columbia Business School:
The Reunion Kickoff Cocktail Party was held at Lerner Hall:
And other special events of the weekend, individual class dinners, which took place at various locations on the Columbia University campus:
The weekend also included a Champagne Celebration in Low Library and Alumni Family Brunch at Tavern on the Green. Please click through for more photographs of the events, including Dean Hubbard's State of the School address.
Last year, Columbia Business School launched the Dean's Reunion Fund. Established to create a tradition of reunion giving, it helps build the School's endowment, and the income from the endowment can serve as a "venture fund" for the School to use for significant initiatives. It is also an opportunity for alumni to give at any level. If you haven't given already, please click on the link below to make your contribution. We appreciate your participation.
Plans for future events are already in progress; Columbia Business School will host its inaugural Pan-Asian Reunion in October 2008 in Hong Kong and a Columbia University wide symposium in September 2007 in Paris (featuring a joint Business School reception with Columbia Law School).
Please email alumni@gsb.columbia.edu with your suggestions and for future Reunions.
Thanks to all the class chairs, committees and alumni who attended Reunion 2007 and made it such a great event. We look forward to seeing the '3 and '8 classes next year in April 2008!
Warm regards,
