This year, I had the pleasure of spending Thanksgiving evening with an incredible group of CBS alums, and it couldn’t have been more memorable. From the warm atmosphere and inspiring conversations to the French-inspired feast featuring turkey (naturally!) and a perfect crème brûlée, it was a celebration to remember. The highlight, without a doubt, was connecting with fellow Canadians who share New York roots and a bond with one exceptional institution: Columbia Business School. A huge thank you to Enrique C. and Rainbow Chik for bringing us all together. Looking back, choosing to pursue a program at Columbia remains one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The Columbia University Alumni Network is truly remarkable. To all the Columbia Business School professors, staff, and every CBS and Columbia University alum I’ve met over the past two years (and those I’ll meet in the future) - you are among the smartest, most supportive people I’ve ever known. I’m endlessly grateful to be part of this remarkable community and absolutely love this school for the lifelong friendships, inspiration, education and other opportunities it continues to provide. Here’s to Columbia, to friendships, and to celebrations that remind us of the bond we share! 💙🦁 Danyal Syed Ali Veena Mosur Manoj Rana Jessica Chen, MFin Eric Niu #ColumbiaBusinessSchool #columbiauniversity #Thanksgiving #Toronto s #newyork #alumni #leadership #networking
