Columbia and Harvard Alumni Kick off 2024 Together

The event was the second collaborative activity between both associations.

January 11, 2024

The Columbia Alumni Association (CAA) of Chile and the Harvard Club Chile, celebrated the beginning of the new year with a joint event on January 9, bringing together alumni from both institutions for a memorable evening in Santiago.

Hosted at La Bottega Gandolini, the event provided a platform for over 60 alumni to engage in camaraderie, networking, and reconnections. This gathering followed the success of  the first joint activity between the Columbia Alumni Association of Chile and the Harvard Club — a trip to Valparaíso in May 2023.

Event organizers Alejandro Montt (Harvard) and Naisa Gormaz (TC’14), along with Graciela Ibáñez (JRN'08), president of CAA Chile, and Josefina Errázuriz, president of the Harvard Club of Chile, were in attendance, providing support and guidance to make the evening a success.

Previous CAA Chile events, such as a tour of the first electric bus depot in Latin America and a visit to Start-Up Chile, demonstrates the breadth of activities that alumni can enjoy, ranging from cultural excursions to professional networking opportunities.

The collaboration between these two alumni associations underscores their commitment to fostering meaningful connections and creating memorable experiences for members. As the Columbia Alumni Association of Chile and the Harvard Club of Chile continue to collaborate, alumni can anticipate more engaging activities, providing opportunities to celebrate, share insights, and forge new friendships.
