My children and I live so much closer to NYC than we have in quite some time. We visit the city often and always visit Morningside Campus, where I point out various spots and narrate the memories that go with them. I am so proud of Columbia; even though as a student it changed my life in profound ways, it seems even more robust and lively now than when I attended. I work in the field of independent school education, and many extremely smart, talented, fabulous young people I have known in my school career now attend Columbia. As it is often said, I could never get in now, but am so proud of my association with Columbia and am proud of Columbia's reach and influence as a global institution.
