Spectator has always strived to take advantage of new technology—whether fifty years ago, with our switch from linotype to offset printing, or this year, as we seek to digitize our archives. In keeping with this goal, Alumni & Outreach is pleased to announce an expanded social networking initiative.
You can now follow us on Twitter, join our group on Facebook, and connect with us via LinkedIn. These are excellent tools for reconnecting with former classmates and hearing about upcoming events. Questions or comments? Email us at alumni@columbiaspectator.com!

Annual Awards Dinner: the State of the Spectator
Columbia Daily Spectator Annual Awards Dinner
February 4, 2012
State of the Spectator
By Samuel E. Roth – As prepared for delivery
Good evening, everyone, and thank you again for joining us tonight. This is, I believe, my last official act as editor in chief emeritus—which means it’s going to be a lot harder to arrange for glowing coverage of my remarks in Monday’s paper.
Nevertheless, I sincerely appreciate that all of you could make it out this evening. It means so much that Spectator has such an active and engaged body of alumni and so many generous friends. Certainly, looking back on my time, it’s nice to know that I’ll be able to reconnect with my old Spec friends at events like these in the future. More »
Special issue: examining the Barnard-Columbia relationship
In 1982, Columbia and Barnard announced a joint agreement that allowed women to apply to Columbia College. Thirty years later, we reflect on the significance of that agreement and continue the discussion of coeducation.

Alumni Open House, Nov. 11
Friday, Nov. 11 was the Spectator’s first open house event of the 2011-2012 year. We were happy to welcome back a number of alumni from across the northeast region for a night of food and conversation with the current Spectator staff. After a brief greeting and tours of the office, alumni and students mingled with each other until late in the evening. Thank you all so much for coming!
If you were unable to make it to our last event, please keep in mind that we will be hosting many more social gatherings over the course of the year. We hope to see you soon!
Thanks for coming to see us!
Thanks to the more than 60 alumni who came to visit our offices on June 4. Giving tours and showing off recent copies of the paper was the highlight of our day. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Those who joined us afterwards at the alumni center heard updates from our Editor in Chief Sam Roth and Publisher Aditya Mukerjee about our efforts to grow our online readership, and the effort to digitize Spec’s archives.
For those of you who were not able to make it we’d love to show you around too. Any alum has an open invitation to come visit us on a production night during the school year. As you know we’ll be open late!
