Stay Connected While Remaining Apart

 

We hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy. 

If your inbox is like ours, you’ve been getting a deluge of emails regarding the growing disruption and concern stemming from COVID-19. We don’t want to add to that. But we do want to share news and updates. 

The mission of Columbia University Club of London (CUCL) is to offer social, cultural, educational, and networking opportunities throughout the year and promote the interests of the university, its schools, and alumni. To that goal, and following input and feedback from our Open Board Meeting last week, we’ve been working to support our community of more than 5,000 alumni in the UK.

In the coming weeks (maybe months) we’re trying a few initiatives to allow everyone to congregate online to share, support, and stay connected. These include a new exclusive Slack Team to host an online book club, film club, CVC, and a range of other activities. And as we’re very British, Tea Time at 4pm on Friday! Please see below for more on our first endeavours. 

As we aim to limit our email newsletter to once a month, please make sure you’re connected on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for updates and the latest information on all our activities. 

Do reach out at [email protected] if you need anything. 

— Courtney and Stephen

CUCL Members team on Slack is ready for you. This is a private member only team where we foster an online community of ideas, support, and networking. Especially in these isolating times.

When you join, please set up your profile by adding:

From there, please find the channels you'd like to join and start chatting. Each has a brief description to know more about the topic. These include CVC, staying healthy, cooking, film, books (fiction and nonfiction), podcasts, etc. We can add more if / when needed.
