Fourth Annual CAA Worldwide Alumni Leaders Assembly
Exploring Global Possibilities for Our University, Our Alumni, and Our Alumni Network

What does it mean to be an alumni leader? On October 17 and 18, 2008, it meant attending a two-day event to meet with influential and involved alumni leaders from across campus and around the world.

Share in the weekend: Watch a panel discussion about global possibilities with featured alumni; listen to an address from Jeffrey Sachs, director of the Earth Institute; learn about alumni issues in targeted break-out sessions; and meet the 2008 alumni medalists, whose ongoing involvement in the life of the University has earned the highest alumni honor bestowed by Columbia.
