Jane Alexandroff (1928–1996) was the wife of Mirron “Mike” Alexandroff, who served as Columbia College’s president from 1961–1992. She was Columbia’s only other full-time employee from 1955–1962, serving in all administrative capacities. She was active in the civil rights, women’s rights, anti-war and counter culture movements, which coalesced at Columbia College during the period.
The Jane Ann Legnard Alexandroff Scholarship was established to help defray the cost of tuition for one full-time undergraduate senior who is socially involved in his/her community or a non-profit organization.
