Columbia University Opens Global Center in Chile

SANTIAGO, March 19, 2012 — In an ongoing effort to broaden Columbia’s already extensive global presence and perspective, University President Lee C. Bollinger joins today with alumni, supporters, faculty and a delegation of international visitors to open a Columbia Global Center in Santiago, Chile — the University’s first in Latin America.

“With 2012 marking the 50th anniversary of the founding of Columbia’s Institute for Latin American Studies, the opening of the Global Center in Santiago comes as a timely reminder of our University’s long and rich history of studying Latin America,” President Bollinger said. “The Santiago center now takes its place alongside Columbia Global Centers in East and South Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, each one offering fresh opportunities for students and faculty at our New York campuses to engage an international network of scholars, researchers and citizens.”
