More than 100 alumni, parents and guests were on hand for Columbia College Day in Washington, D.C., on October 14, and a reception the night before. The College Day program, modeled after the popular Dean’s Day that is held in New York each spring, featured lectures by Hilary Ballon, professor of art and archeology, and Richard Sacks, adjunct associate professor of English and comparative literature, with a luncheon keynote address by David Ignatius P’07, a columnist for The Washington Post. Another highlight of the program was a panel of three students, Steve Moncada ’07, Neda Navab ’08 and Ana Ortiz ’07, who discussed life at the College today. Alec Milton, senior assistant director of the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and Financial Aid discussed the selective admissions process and Jill Galas Hickey, director of programming and planning of the Center for Career Education, spoke about career transitions and network building. Dean of Alumni Affairs and Development Derek Wittner ’65 and Roy Russo ’56, past president of the Columbia College Club of the Mid-Atlantic, welcomed the Saturday guests, and Dean of Academic Affairs Kathryn Yatrakis delivered a luncheon report on the College. The Friday night reception celebrated Dean Austin Quigley upon his 10th anniversary as dean of the College and was hosted by Randal Quarles ’81.
