Special Event: Fireside Chat 24th of April

We’re not above bragging a bit… and we are thrilled to be the first alumni club to host incoming President Baroness Minouche Shafik. She made an unscheduled appearance at our mixer with LSE in March. She could not have been more gracious and excited to meet our alumni. We are so excited to officially welcome her when she begins her role as the 20th President of Columbia University in July.

If you missed our inaugural event with LSE, not to worry. We had such a fantastic time, they’ve invited us to join in on two more upcoming events, including a Eurovision Watch Party on 13th of May! Details on events below.

Finally, we hope you will be able to join us on the 24 of April, for our Alumni Fireside Chat with President of the Columbia Alumni Association, Donna MacPhee ‘89CC and Rob Rooney '89CC, former chief executive of Morgan Stanley’s international business and current CEO at fintech firm HyperJar.

Thank you to all who’ve joined us so far and we hope to see many more of you at our upcoming events. Keep reading for all the details.
