University Life Welcomes You to the Spring Term

January 18, 2022

Dear Students,

I write to welcome you to the Spring 2022 term, with a special welcome to our new students this semester. No matter how long you’ve been part of Columbia’s community, or where in the world you may be reading this message, I hope that you will see University Life as your hub for events, information and opportunities to share, connect and engage.

University Life has a range of resources to help you thrive. You can follow us on Instagram and Facebook to stay updated, and check out our Student Voices page to hear other students’ stories–or to share your own! You can also get to know a bit about my background and learn more about my colleagues at University Life.  

We have exciting events planned for Columbia Spring Welcome!

While we look ahead with optimism, COVID-19 safety remains top of mind for all of us. You can always find the most up-to-date information about requirements and protocols on the University’s COVID-19 website.

Please email us at [email protected] any time with questions or feedback. We look forward to connecting with you and hope to see you at events throughout the Spring term!

Wishing you a wonderful first week,

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
