Alums – They Do Stuff!
Freshmen are probably noticing that NSOP slows down the pace of events quite a bit as it moves into the weekend. Bwog thought it would slow things down as well and bring you a round-up of Columbians in the news. We know it’s not all national or internation news, but not all of us can be presidential candidates.
- President Mikheil Saakashvili of Georgia remains closely allied to the United States despite continual pressure from Russia.
- Tim Horrigan CC ’69 is running for New Hampshire State representative. For more background on him, check out his Netscap-era website.
- The Buffalo News profiles Dan Foote CC ’85, who is currently on diplomatic mission to Iraq.
- Future alum/current 2010er Raphael Graybill was in Denver this past week as the youngest member of Montana’s delegation.

Bridgit Donnelly, BC ’11, was at Denver as a delegate, too
BWOG, can you post about Facebook’s Books On Campus application so we can recruit freshmen and buy/sell affordable books?
My second life avatars are selling textbooks :-) I am not 100% stuck in the Netscape era.)

Barack Obama, CC ’83, is somewhere in the country being kind of a big deal.
yeah but ever since that thing last year, no one on campus likes to give him any additional media attention.
And for some reason, he hardly ever mentions the fact that he spent some time here, though he mentions his Harvard law degree every other day.
good point! /sarcasm
would think that he’d play up Columbia more having majored in IR while being criticized for lacking expertise in it.
Simply majoring in IR doesn’t mean you’re qualified. You need experience, too, not just education.
obama’s sister (maya soetoro-ng)is a barnard grad
what are the easiest major cultures classes, need some guaranteed A’s
Dude, I hear that the Graybill kid was the campaign manager for the state AG’s campaign……
Future congressman or senator in the class of 2010…
internation?
And don’t forget “Netscap”.
“I think it’s important work,” [Horrigan] said. “Preserving our personal freedoms and democracies.”
