Wishing You a Restful Fall Break

November 26, 2024

Dear Students,

We write to wish you a restful fall break. In the next few days, we hope you are able to take some time to relax and unplug.

Thank you for all your hard work so far this semester. We are grateful for all your contributions in and out of the classroom and among your classmates, professors, and friends. You make Columbia a community we are proud to be a part of. Thank you!

If you are staying in the New York City area for the break, we invite you to check out some of these free and low-cost activities around the city. Wherever you are and however you choose to spend this break, we wish you health, safety, and relaxation.
