Lauder Institute Annual Fund

Three new affinity groups formed 

We are pleased to announce the launch of three new affinity groups: Lauder Women, Black@Lauder and BigTech@Lauder. Both have the goal of building and strengthening community and providing support for one another. To learn more, click above.

We have an app!

We will eventually have our own LIAA-branded app but for now you can search the directory, register for events, and update your profile through the Wild Apricot app. Ignore the branding – it works and will make your mobile life easier! Get the app on Apple or Google.

What a glorious weekend it was! Click here to see the photos; more will be added shortly. 

A huge thank you to our generous sponsors without whom this weekend would not have been possible:

The Lauder Institute
Jo Carole and Ronald S. Lauder
Judy and Leonard A. Lauder

In addition, we'd like to thank Pierre-Alain Rikkers '04 and Teneo for sponsoring the lively and engaging keynote panel discussion.

Thank you to the networking committee for their dedication to bringing new networking opportunities to life: bingo, networking lunches and pre-cocktail happy hours. Thanks to Bryce Goodwin '06 for generously donating Pinhook Bourbon to the winners of networking bingo.  

Thank you to the Pitch-It committee who helped make this competition the best ever with the addition of mentors for each founder and a smoothly run event. Thanks to Denis Zaff ’10 for donating the wine for the winners.

Thank you to the panelists for sharing your expertise and insight.  

And a special shout out to co-chairs Daniel Smith '01 and Deepti Tanuku '10 for their leadership, dedication, and humor.
