Columbia 250 Logo. This thing was EVERYWHERE.
The September 2003 CCT was rebranded King's College Today in anticipation of the event

Columbia 250, or C250, or just CU250. If you haven't guessed, this was the 250th anniversary of Columbia, or, more accurately, of the foundation of King's College. It took place in 2004. (Amusingly, Columbia had just celebrated its 200th anniversary in 1989.)

Extra funding from C250 enabled many student events to greatly expand their programming. A series of symposia and lectures brought alumni back to campus.
