Some 95,000 Columbia alumni live and work in the New York metropolitan area. We know that they already had sharp intellects when they first arrived on campus. But we like to think that Columbia directed them on a purposeful journey.
In the great laboratories and hospitals of the city, in the engine rooms of the economy, at the podium and in the media—wherever leadership is needed, Columbia's alumni are there. In turn, the University celebrates its New York alumni with named professorships, research centers, scholarships, prizes, educational funds, and major facilities ranging from John Jay Hall to Low Library to such new campus landmarks as Alfred Lerner Hall. Columbia and New York City are inextricably intertwined and mutually enrich each other.
