Unwavering Commitment to the Student Experience

“Jim was key to the College’s success over the past decade. He showed unwavering commitment to the student experience, and deep loyalty to the members of his team and the many relationships he built across the alumni community. They are genuine relationships, because he cares.

“It’s been a privilege to work with Jim and I’m proud of what we and the entire team have accomplished together under his leadership — especially as we wind up the Core to Commencement campaign, which will have a transformative impact on the College and will benefit the students and faculty for many years to come.

“I love this picture of Columbia Giving Day. Under Jim’s leadership, the College won 10 years straight. He took time to visit with the team even during the pandemic.”
