Alumni Events

Staying socially distant in a social world

The CCAA broadcast its first live virtual event on September 18. Keith McIver, director of Alumni Development, hosted a behind-the-scenes tour at Logboat Brewing Co. and talked to the brewery’s owners about running a successful business during a pandemic. Logboat was co-founded in 2015 by Judson Ball ’07 (pictured, far left).

A second event followed on October 6, inviting CCAA members inside the Veterans Urban Farm. The social was hosted by Billy Polansky ’17 and Carrie Hargrove ’09 (right), owners of the Columbia Center for Urban Agriculture.

“There are so many tools available to us now that actually increase our opportunities for engaging with alumni around the world,” McIver says. Through the Zoom platform and Facebook Live streaming, alumni and friends have registered for virtual events from 17 states and even Australia. –CP
