Columbia University is geared as never before to address world issues from climate change to social justice. The Columbia Commitment builds partnerships with donors and volunteers sharing an urgent sense of what Columbians can do for our students and the world.
The Columbia Commitment (2016–2021), a five-year campaign, focused on ideas, impact, and the power of interdisciplinary thinking and partnerships to solve critical problems in the world. Our Columbia community emerged from the campaign transformed in our ability to think and act both in and with the world.
The Columbia Community Making This Possible
Our Students. Our Future.
As we celebrate and further the critical work in the Columbia Commitment areas of impact in the months ahead, we also raise our sights and renew our priority to support students through financial aid and scholarships.
A Columbia education is transformative and financial need should not be a barrier to accessing it. We look forward to again coming together as a University community to make a collective impact through the new Columbia Student Support Initiative.
