Class of 1974 | 50th Reunion


Columbia Reunion 2024 is Thursday–Saturday, May 30–June 1, and registration for our 50th reunion is open!

Note from the CC'74 Reunion Committee

As we look forward to celebrating this milestone, we’ve been thinking back to our favorite moments from our Columbia College days, like debating passages from The Iliad, exploring architecture with Professor Eugene Santomasso GSAS’73, hanging out or studying with friends on the Steps or cramming around a table at The West End!

Reunion is a chance to relive our College experience with classmates and friends and to once again enjoy Morningside Heights. We’ve planned an exciting schedule for the Class of 1974, including a celebratory toast welcoming our class into the Golden Lions (classes 50 years out and older), a Reception and Dinner at Casa Italiana and a Class Conversation to share reflections on how Columbia has affected your life since graduation.

As in past years, there will be a number of lectures by Columbia professors on literature, history, art and other topics; the professors and the topics will be announced soon. And this year you can stay in Carman Hall. Join us on campus to reminisce about and celebrate our College experience and make new memories
