Arrivals, Departures, and Weddings at CDCCU

Judging from word-of-mouth and the looks of the new stationery, there's been some reshuffling recently at the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University (CDCCU).

Among the departures is nutritionist Anne Roland Lee, who recently wed and became the United States rep for Dr. Schär foods, as reported by nutritionist Tricia Thompson, her friend and colleague...and wedding guest. Thompson notes that the gluten-free wedding's caterer was Scarsdale's Standing Room Only and the cakemaker was none other than Brooklyn's Everybody Eats.

The CDCCU currently has the following staff. (I haven't found all "official" links, so here and there I offer some unusual ones.)
