Columbia on Film: School of Social Work Edition

What does a day at Columbia look like through a student’s eyes? We handed out disposable film cameras to students at the Columbia School of Social Work (CSSW) and asked them to capture the moments that define their everyday life. 

From quiet corners, familiar faces, and the in-between places that make campus feel like home, the result is a collection of snapshots that tell a story of everyday Columbia life in motion. 

Check out their photos below!

A big thank you to the students behind the lens for sharing their view of life at Columbia.
