Dear Fellow Young Alums,
The Young Alumni Committee (YAC) continues its goal of providing enjoyable and varied programming. As you know, in February, we sampled fine scotch at our Johnnie Walker Tasting and listened to Jeffrey Sachs advise us on sustainable investment. In March, we visited the Classic Stage Company for the Young Company’s performance of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.

On April 9th, we will don our best 20’s garb for Speakeasy Night, which we are jointly hosting with Princeton. Later, on April 22, we will enjoy unlimited bowling, a premium open bar, and a selection of appetizers at Bowlmore.

Currently, the YAC is planning a tequila tasting, movie screening, joint-barbecue with Princeton and a museum trip. Please visit our updated website frequently for news regarding the YAC, and feel free to contact any YAC member with any questions or ideas.

Kind regards,

Co-Chairs:
Jay D. Rao, LAW ‘08
Nabeel Ahmad, TC ‘09
Justin Ifill, CC ‘06

Testimonial:

“I joined the Columbia University Club of New York because I was excited by the opportunities to learn from older alumni and meet other young alumni. Later, I joined the Young Alumni Committee (YAC) in order to become more involved in the Club. I discovered a warm and vibrant young alumni community containing members with diverse interests. While serving on the YAC, I forged friendships that make the Columbia Club a “home away from home” for me today.

The YAC organizes social, cultural and professional events for the Club’s young alumni. . The YAC represents the interests of young alumni in the Club’s administration and the larger Ivy club community. We organize events ranging from wine tastings to museum tours, from billiards nights to lectures on the economy. Furthermore, we hold events with other Ivy clubs to present young alumni with the opportunity to create an expanded circle of friends around the city. Most importantly, we have fun.

The more you participate and meet other members with similar interests, the more value you will gain from your membership. I encourage all young alumni to visit our website often for upcoming YAC events. Also, feel free to email me or any YAC co-chair for information regarding the YAC. Or, even better, grab a drink with us at the bar.”

Other Testimonials:

“I joined the Columbia University Club shortly after graduating Columbia College with the goal of meeting and socializing with fellow alumni. One of the first events that I attended was organized by the Young Alumni Committee, which was where I met the Committee co-chairs. They described the Committee’s goals and the duties of its members. Later, I became a part of the Committee.

Participating in the Young Alumni Committee’s work has been very rewarding. In addition to meeting many interesting members of the Columbia community, I have had the opportunity to direct and participate in several successful Committee events. The diversity, variety of interests, collegiate atmosphere and sense of fun on the Committee has greatly enhanced my Club experience.”
Christian Gluck, CC ‘08

“The first time that I came to the Columbia University Club was for a Cinco de Mayo mixer. I didn’t know anyone on my arrival, but met several young alums within the first few minutes of the event. I continued to meet many members throughout the night. I felt welcome immediately. A month later, I was asked to join the Young Alumni Committee. When I began to come to meetings, the youthful energy radiated throughout the room. I was excited to hear what other members were planning and wanted to plan an event myself. Shortly after joining the Young Alumni Committee, I helped to plan a mixer between members of the Columbia Club and the Penn Club. I am now involved in planning two other events in the near future. Since joining the Club and Young Alumni Committee, I have made many new friends very quickly. Joining the Club was one of the best decisions I have ever made.”
