ALUMNI AUDITS

Signature Program Alumni have the opportunity to sign up for an audit space available on certain program days throughout the year. Because these programs have evolved so much in recent years, and because recent classes were heavily impacted by COVID, Alumni may wish to re-experience one or more of their program days or experience a program day they missed due to illness. Space is limited based on the program day and those spaces are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. 

Reserve your space by filling out the form at the button below. Because your attendance often means we are including you in food orders and space considerations, we ask that you give a two-week notice if you are unable to attend a program day previously reserved. Alumni Audits will begin for the Class of 2023 Signature Program days.

Please note: You will receive an email notification and calendar invite from Collin Ries, Program & Marketing Manager (collinries@columbus.org) confirming that your spot has been reserved.
