What is the Stone Circle?
The Stone Circle honors alumni who graduated 50 or more years ago. It is named for the Harlan Fiske Stone, who graduated from Columbia Law School in 1898, served on the Columbia Law School faculty from 1902 to 1905, and led the Law School as dean from 1910 to 1924. Later he became attorney general of the United States (1924), associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court (1925), and chief justice (1941).
The Stone Circle was established by Columbia Law School alumni as a jovial gathering of graduates and friends who recalled fondly the era when Harlan Fiske Stone was dean. Today we invite alumni to join the Stone Circle on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of their graduation. Stone Circle members are a distinguished and vibrant part of our alumni community; they gather at a luncheon each fall to welcome new members and celebrate dear friends.
What is a UNI?
The term “UNI,” which is short for University Network ID, is your virtual ID for the Columbia system, equivalent to a username or log-on on other systems. It is preassigned to you by the University’s IT department, based on your initials (at the time of creation/during your studenthood) and an arbitrary number. If you did not have a UNI as a student, you do have one now; if you did have a UNI as a student, it is almost always your UNI as an alumna/us.
How can I find out what my UNI is?
Should you need either to discover and activate your UNI or to remind yourself of it, you can look it up online, or, alternatively, we would be pleased to assist you. (Tip: Once you have your UNI, make sure to enter its letters in lowercase.)
To look up your UNI online, please visit the Columbia Alumni Association’s Help with Your UNI page. You can also use this page to request a password reset if you have forgotten it. To reach the Reunion Office for assistance, contact us at [email protected] or 212-854-0533.
