Please join us for a special All-Ivy After Hours Mixer in Royal Oak November 19, 2025, from 5-7 p.m. We'll kick off the holiday season with alumni from the other Ivy schools at the Royal Oak Taphouse, which boasts 40 rotating handles of craft beer, a wide choice of wines and an impressive selection of bourbons and tequilas. They have a big menu, too, with vegetarian options.

There should be something for everyone to grab a cocktail or mocktail, an appetizer or meal while you enjoy seeing familiar faces and making new acquaintances. Those of you who've attended the All-Ivy picnic that's become a regular event the past three summers will have a chance to reconnect. After all, once a year is just not enough. 

There is no charge for this event and all drinks and appetizers are on your own. We do request you RSVP so we can make sure we have enough space. With eight clubs this could get big.

Please wear some Columbia attire so we can spot you easily and you can show off your school spirit. 

And shout out to Cornell's Lisa C. Jones, who organized this event with me, Ellen Piligian. We are your official hosts so reach out if you have questions.
