The CUCL Board

Holiday Party 2016

The Columbia University Alumni Club of London (CUCL) held their annual holiday party on Tuesday, 6th December at Assagetti, an Italian eatery in London’s Haymarket. If you weren't able to attend we hope you can make it to the next event. You can see some photos from the party on our new Facebook Page.

Board News

We've been quite busy putting together the new board for the club. Over the next few months, we will be introducing these great Columbia alumni, and you will also be able to find our bios on our website.

At the end of January, we will be welcoming the Columbia Alumni Association leadership to london, namely Donna McPhee (CC'89), President of the CAA and CU VP of Alumni Relations, and Jaclyn Chu (CC'02), Director of Strategic Regional Engagement and Alumni Relations. We will be having our first quarterly board meeting on the 23rd, and a special Columbia Updates event, featuring Donna, on the 24th.

Our board will meet every quarter, and although we currently have plenty of activities to kickoff and (unfortunately) issues to resolve, we'd be happy to get your feedback or questions - please don't hesitate to contact us at london(at)alumniclubs.columbia.edu
