Calling all Columbians!

Government Employees, Contractors and Consultants!

• Are you a pillar of the “Deep State” 
• Here to “Make America Great” or

No matter where you stand, or what you seek, you are cordially invited to celebrate Columbia Alumni in Public Service with an Open Bar from 6pm to 7:30pm (selection of Canyon Road wines and drafts) at Pennsylvania 6.

Metro stop: McPherson Sq.

Congregate, collaborate, communicate, commiserate, integrate, machinate, remonstrate but most of all celebrate with fellow classmates. Join us in fellowship for a convivial and joyful evening.
