Inspired by the 30th anniversary of coeducation at Columbia College in 2016, the Columbia College Alumnae Legacy Circle (ALC) was established in 2017 to recognize and inspire women's philanthropy. This leadership giving society identifies future women’s leadership at Columbia College, bringing together a global network of women from all ages and backgrounds, elevating their voices and inspiring them to strengthen the College, and expanding their influence and support of the Columbia College Fund.
With a growing membership base of Columbia College alumnae from nearly every class since 1984, the Alumnae Legacy Circle has forged a global network of dedicated women from seven countries and 19 states. Members are leaders in their communities and in fields like finance, medicine, education, media and technology.
Membership Levels
Columbia College alumnae may join the Alumnae Legacy Circle with annual giving of $15,000 or more to the College Fund.
Columbia College alumnae from the Classes of 2010–2024 may join with a comparable philanthropic commitment.
Alumnae may also choose to join by including Columbia College in their estate plans. For more information, please contact Kaylee Quanbeck at kq2162@columbia.edu or 212-851-7452.
