Development & Alumni Relations

For many alumni, Columbia Business School is the foundation of a career, but for Sandy and Teri, it was also the foundation of a lifetime together. What began as a brief flirtation on college walk right in front of Alma Mater, eventually led to forty-five years of love. Today, they remain dedicated to each other and to CBS, the place where it all began. Their story serves as a beautiful reminder that the best investments we make are often in people.

At Columbia Business School, stories of access and opportunity are woven into the fabric of the community. Few illustrate that more clearly than the journey of Leon Cooperman ’67, whose commitment to planned giving reflects a legacy of gratitude and forward-looking generosity.
