CAAL NEWS

Thanks to a generous gift made by Columbia University Trustee Richard Witten '75CC, donations from Class of 2009 graduates will be matched dollar for dollar up to $25,000. This generous matching challenge grant has lowered the cost of our membership levels by half with a limited time offer.

For the second consecutive year, CAAL membership donations have been used to match the Gatsby Charitable Foundation's $50,000 Challenge which supports extracurricular student arts projects on campus, student ticket subsidy, and CUarts web development.

Thank you for supporting the Arts Initiative!
