Alumni Feted at Jay Dinner

A photo essay by Eileen Barroso

More than 600 members of the Columbia family filled the Grand Ballroom of the Plaza Hotel on March 5 to honor five of their own - alumni who have distinguished themselves in the fields of advertising, law, medicine and music - at the annual John Jay Awards Dinner. Orthopaedic surgeon David W. Altchek '78, composer John Corigliano '59, U.S. District Court judge Joseph A. Greenaway Jr. '78, lawyer Mark E. Lehman '73 and retired advertising executive (and president emeritus of the CC Alumni Association) Gerald Sherwin '55 were celebrated for their professional achievements at the dinner, the proceeds of which support the John Jay National Scholarship Program at the College.

Alumni, faculty, students and administrators were part of the crowd that enjoyed the festivities and filled the ornate Grand Ballroom at the Plaza. Two of the honorees were members of the Class of 1978: Dr. David W. Altchek, with family, and Judge Joseph A. Greenaway Jr., with family.
