Dear Columbia community,
Please join us on Wednesday, April 20 at 3:30 PM ET for our Awakening Our Democracy event, Future Present: Building Community and Advancing Equity in a Digital World.
You can register and submit questions here if you would like to attend in person in Low Library. The panel will also be livestreamed on University Life’s website.
While the past decades have ushered in some of the greatest technological advances in human history, the pandemic has heightened the reality that our lives take place in two dimensions: “in real life” and online. This panel of experts will tackle challenging questions about digital citizenship, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), the rise of social media, and the ways in which our choices online impact the world around us. How can we harness our “digital lives” to meaningfully build stronger and more equitable relationships and communities, online and off?
Keach Hagey, an investigative reporter at the Wall Street Journal will moderate the discussion followed by a Q & A segment. Panelists include:
Archival video will be added to University Life’s website and YouTube channel in the days following.
I hope to see you there,
Dennis A. Mitchell, DDS, MPH (he/him/his)
Executive Vice President for University Life
Senior Vice Provost for Faculty Advancement
Professor of Dental Medicine at CUMC
