Congratulations and welcome to Columbia, Early Decision Class of 2029! We can’t wait to meet our newest Lions. Share your reactions with #Roar2029 #Columbia2029 and #ColumbiaUniversity 🦁

✨ Sparking holiday excitement! Columbians gathered for a festive evening of a cappella performances, sweet treats, warm drinks, and a moment of illumination on College Walk. The annual tree-lighting ceremony, organized by the four undergraduate student councils (Columbia College, Engineering, General Studies, Barnard), is a beloved tradition that began in 1998 to welcome the start of another holiday season. We wish our community a peaceful and celebratory season. ✨ 📷 #ColumbiaPhotoOfTheWeek by Brandon Vallejo #ColumbiaUniversity #WinterAtColumbia

✨ Cheers to these East Campus suitemates who attended @ColumbiaDining’s gnocchi cooking demo with Chef Mike and Chef Derrick. Students learned to make pumpkin gnocchi and received their own kits to make at home. Our (CC’25) friends here prepared gnocchi during their own Friendsgiving dinner, including a roast chicken — so impressive! They recently stopped by John Jay to tell Chef Mike about their dinner. ✨ 📸 Kristina Hernandez & Eileen Barroso #ColumbiaUniversity

✨ Harlem’s holiday sparkle brings joy to our neighbors and community! Columbia had the honor of joining the Harlem Holiday Lights parade and partnering with the 125th Street Business Improvement District, Apollo Theater, Settepani Harlem, Mount Morris Park Community Improvement Association, Community Boards 9 and 10, and many other amazing sponsors to make it possible. Cheers to a peaceful holiday season! ✨ Take a stroll through Harlem to catch the sparkle this season, or relive the magic of the parade with @ColumbiaNeighbors’ photo essay in our bio link. 📸 #ColumbiaPhotoOfThePhoto by Eileen Barroso #ColumbiaUniversity

🧘 It’s the most wonderful time of the year—and, with finals and the holidays, it’s one of the busiest! Whatever you’re experiencing right now, we invite you to pause, take a break, and participate in a guided meditation. Reflect, relax, and reset with this 15-minute meditation from Columbia ergonomist Kevin Myers. Visit the link in our bio for the entire session. #ColumbiaUniversity

We were *snow* excited to enjoy a study break at @ColumbiaULife’s Low Library winter wonderland. Students stopped by to relax with hot cocoa, snow globe crafting, DIY wellness kits, student org performances, and more! ❄️🎶🎤 Good luck to all our students preparing for finals this week—you got this! 🙌📚 📸 Michael DiVito #ColumbiaUniversity @ColumbiaISSO @ColumbiaHealth

📄 This Columbia grad knows where all the files are buried. 47 years ago, Kenneth Cobb (GSAS’78) arrived at NYC’s Department of Records and Information Services as a graduate student volunteer. He never left. Instead, Cobb climbed the ranks to become the department’s Assistant Commissioner, where he undertakes the perpetual task of cataloging the city’s municipal records and taking care to preserve those that might hold permanent historical value for inclusion in NYC’s Municipal Archives. Learn more about Cobb’s life of civil service and explore some hidden treasures of NYC with @ColumbiaMagazine at the 🔗 in our bio. #ColumbiaUniversity @NYCArchives @ColumbiaGSAS @ColumbiaLawSchool @ColumbiaAlumni 🔹 Kenneth Cobb photos by @FrankieAlduino 🔹 1924 photo of Riverside Drive at W. 165 St (current-day @ColumbiaMed) 🔹 1905 Marriage License of Eleanor and Franklin D.
