Blake Hutcheson ‘89 MSRED, CEO of OMERS, hosted a special gathering with Dean Andrés Jaque and MSRED program alumni alongside admitted students at the pension fund’s offices in downtown Toronto earlier this month. Hutcheson, responsible for the multi-billion dollar investments of one of the largest pension funds in Canada, reflected on the impact of attending Columbia GSAPP and shared insights on his professional path and leadership roles.

Real Estate Development alumni Alexandra Goeseke ‘16 MSRED and Nitin Motwani '04 MSRED joined a special evening of conversation and connections with Dean Andrés Jaque and alumni from across generations and programs in the Miami area to discusse their professional paths following their time at GSAPP.

The event was generously hosted by Laurinda Spear '75 M.Arch and Raymond Fort '12 MSAAD at the Miami headquarters of the award-winning, international architecture, landscape, and urban planning firm Arquitectonica, with additional participation of Gustavo Berenblum '91 MSAAD and Claudia Busch '91 MSAAD.
