JERRY SHERWIN '55CC MEMORIAL EVENT

Prior to Saturday's game, Columbia Athletics will celebrate the life of Gerald "Jerry" Sherwin '55CC with a memorial event at St. Paul's Chapel (on campus) on Saturday from 2-3:30 p.m. As so many know, Jerry was a longtime supporter of Columbia, Columbia College, and Columbia Athletics. Dubbed "Mr. Columbia" he was a mainstay at countless Columbia events, and you could still find him sitting with the team in Levien Gymnasium at each and every Men's Basketball game. He will be incredibly missed. There will be a short program and also a chance to share your memories of "Mr. Columbia." For more information and to register to attend this event, click here.
