Our Purpose

The purpose of the Student Center is to strengthen Columbia’s sense of community. We aim to create a supportive environment where students can connect across disciplines, express themselves freely, and find the tools and spaces they need to bring ideas to life. Whether through events, collaboration, or everyday interactions, the Student Center helps build a campus culture rooted in creativity and belonging.
