What is a Core Reflection?

These original student works analyze, question, dramatize, interpret, and (of course) reflect on the courses of the Core Curriculum in order to further understanding of the Core, find connections between Core works, and relate the Core to the world in which we live.

Students who create exceptionally creative and well executed Reflections will be honored as Core Scholars; their Core Reflections will be featured on the Core Curriculum website and Columbia College social media.

Is a particular format required?

Almost all formats and styles are welcome: film, music, theatre, dance, painting, drawing, photography, graphic novel, essay, poetry, or fiction. Students are encouraged to push the boundaries beyond what would normally be required by a Core course.
