The Columbia College Annual Report 2014–2015 celebrates Columbia College: our academics and research opportunities, our global offerings, our new entrepreneurship programs, our renowned Core Curriculum and the ways in which our current and former students are building connections and community.

In these pages, you’ll learn about our outstanding students, their innovative ideas, and the interests and passions that make them so exceptional; you’ll learn about our remarkable faculty members’ honors and achievements; you’ll learn about the generous donors and volunteers who make the Columbia College experience possible; and you'll learn about the College’s priorities and the milestones that we have celebrated during the past year.

As you reflect on the past year, I hope that you will be inspired to help us strengthen Columbia College for the future through Core to Commencement, our campaign to create what we believe is the greatest undergraduate experience and to continue to provide excellence in all that we do.

Roar, Lion(s), Roar,

James J. Valentini
Dean of Columbia College and
Vice President for Undergraduate Education
