Dear fellow members of the Columbia Community:
I cannot begin to compose a statement that fully expresses the grievous sense of loss we experienced early this morning when Bill Campbell passed away. Bill was a beloved alumnus, football coach, trustee, former Chair of the Trustees, and, above all, a friend and source of boundless joy and counsel to everyone who knew him. Columbia will forever remember Bill.
We extend our love to Bill’s family at this sad time.
Sincerely,
Lee C. Bollinger
