The enthusiasm and generosity of our Campaign leadership helped make this important endeavor a reality.

“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to endow the enduring elements of a Columbia College education – including our remarkable faculty and Core Curriculum – while also supporting exciting new initiatives that will meaningfully enhance the Columbia experience for generations to come.”

Jonathan S. Lavine

CC’88, P: CC’16, CC’18

“Core to Commencement is about more than just the Core Curriculum and being a Columbia graduate. It is meant to represent the totality of one's experience at Columbia, which starts with the Core in freshman year and does not end when you graduate.”

Victor Mendelson

CC’89, P: CC’18, CC’20, CC’23

“Core to Commencement has the potential to alter people’s lives for the better. We can secure the College’s ability to offer its students, faculty and alumni an enduring legacy which will benefit these constituencies well into the future and for many generations.”
