Preservation Alumni is excited to announce the revamping of our current website! Launched over 15 years ago, preservationalumni.org has become a valuable place for us to connect with our members, organize and promote events, and support the mission of the Historic Preservation Program at Columbia University. We’re working hard to create a new website to better engage with our members in the coming months, complete with refreshed graphics and updated capabilities.

As part of this initiative, we are launching a Call for Entries for a new logo design. We’re looking for a fun, creative logo that reflects PA’s long history and mission to bring together members and friends of the program. The deadline for submission is June 15, 2019, and the selected winner will receive $100 in prize money and a free year of membership to Preservation Alumni.

Please see below for more details about the logo design competition, and we look forward to seeing your entries!
