Get a Head Start on the Holidays with our December 2 Happy Hour!

Join your fellow Columbia alumni as we usher in the season with a Holiday Happy Hour on Thursday, December 2. Recommended attire is business casual—but your holiday sweaters are strongly encouraged.

We will gather from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in Royal Oak at Bigalora Wood-Fired Cucina, a popular Italian eatery offering Neapolitan wood-fired pizzas.  

We will provide complimentary pizza, including vegetarian and gluten-free varieties. You can order and purchase your own drinks from the servers. Bigalora has a nice selection of draft and bottled beers, wine, cocktails, and soft drinks.

Our reserved space is the Bigalora enclosed “deck” with a clear vinyl wall allowing some welcome outside air to circulate—another good reason for those holiday sweaters! We will be warm under electric heaters, and there’s a chance we’ll see a passing train, as the deck overlooks the Amtrak track.  

The charge for this event is $10, with pre-registration required.
