Sonia Reese

Community Impact | Columbia University

Sonia Reese Retires as Community Impact Executive Director after 30 years as of January 31, 2020

From its earliest inception as a single service initiative formed in 1981 by Columbia University undergraduates Joe DeGenova and David Joyce, CI is the largest student service organization and a primary interface between the University and our neighboring communities. Ms. Reese has placed student volunteers and workers at the center of an integrated community service network firmly rooted in its neighborhood. CI now figures foremost in Columbia’s long-standing pledge to support education through service. Operating under the dual status as a non-profit organization and an emissary from the University, Ms. Reese has forged partnerships with community leaders and agencies committed to realizing neighborhood sustainability.

As Director, Ms. Reese has steered the organization’s growth, ensuring that CI achieves successful outcomes for community members and creates meaningful leadership opportunities for Columbia University and Barnard College volunteers. Ms. Reese has secured CI’s financial stability, and most recently she inaugurated an endowment campaign with the leadership of CU trustees to ensure the longevity of CI and its service programs.

The CI Board of Directors has launched a search for a successor to Sonia Reese.
