The Union College Club had the pleasure of welcoming Former President of Colombia, Álvaro Uribe Velez, at Harvard University. We were pleased to welcome him to The Union College Club in collaboration with Harvard's COLSA, and were delighted to have the opportunity to learn more about President Uribe's upbringing, political career, time in the presidency, unique insights, and discuss overall democracy in Latin America. We discussed the challenges that currently stare us in the face, those of which continue to resurface and those that will await us.
