To protect our communities in response to the spread of COVID-19, the Columbia Global Centers, located in ten countries, are limiting or canceling public events, in accordance with their local government and healthcare directives. Public events and in-person programming continue in our Centers where social distancing restrictions are no longer needed, as determined by local officials and global health directives.
Where social distancing is necessary, we are shifting to online engagement and virtual programs, as well as hosting a number of events through digital broadcasting. For the latest information related to COVID and Columbia University, visit Columbia Preparedness or CGC Coronavirus Updates.
