Dear Students,
As you prepare for the academic year, I write to share resources to support you. Whether this is your first semester, final semester, or anywhere in between, University Life wants to help you build your network, make the most of your time at Columbia, and connect to resources.
You’re Invited: Welcome Week
We hope you’ll join us for Welcome Week! This series of events, happening from September 3-13, is a chance to build your foundation for the semester ahead and beyond!
