After years without a formal organization, the Columbia Alumni Association & Network (CAAN) is here. During the 2006 Manifest Alumni Reunion, an alumni task force met to discuss the creation of a national alumni association and network to help organize and unite Columbia's 70,000-plus alumni.  With momentum started, we're keeping it moving through regional chapters and their events.  The goals of each chapter reflect the interests and desires of the individuals who become involved, working to support scholarships, provide mentorship, welcome young alumni, organize networking events, and more.
