In a touching story, two sisters who had never met recently discovered each other after 30+ years while taking the same creative writing course at Columbia University.
More than 30 years ago, biological sisters Lizzie Valverde (GS’15) and Katy Olson (GS’14) were adopted by different families. In the spring of 2013, they met by chance in a nonfiction seminar at Columbia’s School of General Studies. This year, Valverde graduated with a bachelor’s degree in creative writing. Olson, who graduated last year with the same degree, is now pursuing her master’s at the School of the Arts.
