As the class of 2009 departs Columbia, the bright lights of New York will have at least one symbol of their achievements: CCSC has secured the chance for the Empire State Building to be lit up in light blue and white next Wednesday night.
According to CCSC President George Krebs, the project was “spearheaded” by CC ’09’s Jenni O’Reilly-Jones (also president of CASO). Columbia joins several other organizations playing around with the lights, including NYU this past Tuesday, the FDNY this weekend, and Fleet Week starting next Thursday.

@YES So awesome! Just wish I could be in the city to see it…
@sweet That’s kind of awesome. I hope that they continue it…
@... I don’t think it requires too much much negotiating–I’m pretty sure they’re always looking for high profile excuses to play with the new light system.
@no, there’s an application process – you submit a written application about promoting some philanthropic/non-profit cause.
@2150 whoa! that’s so cool. i’ve still never been to the empire state building but maybe this will finally be a good reason to!
@CC '09 Great job, Jenni, I know how hard you worked to get this for us!
@sweet I want to sit on it.
@whoo go george!
@wait how much did THAT cost?
@nice work cc'09 this is bad-ass
@that's awesome
@cool! i totally agree!
please do it next year, too, for the current juniors. or, actually, seniors.
eep scary.
@whoa I wonder what that negotiation process entails? Or maybe it’s less complicated than I’m imagining.
@mimi Columbia isn’t the first bloated and, some have recently argued, obsolete national institution to get this honor:
