Our Priorities
Inspired by great books, emboldened by diverse minds and stirred by big ideas, we’re poised to build a better Columbia, and with it, a better world. See our Campaign Priorities.
The Core at 100
Ensure the Core's continued relevance in our everchanging world, focusing on faculty engagement, enriched programming and impact beyond Columbia into society at large.
Wellness and Community
Cultivate a thriving community culture where students are both challenged and supported to develop life skills, personal wellbeing and resilience for their journey at Columbia and then into the world.
Beyond the Classroom
Prepare students for a rapidly changing world, through hands on experiences that expand their skills, their worldviews and their capacities to lead.
Teaching and Mentoring
Attract the best faculty, involving them deeply in the lives of our students, while supporting their research and scholarly pursuits, which expand wisdom for all.
Access and Support
Invest in students most able to fully enjoy the potential of a Columbia College education, creating a vibrant and diverse student culture that values all walks of life.
