Public programs are essential in developing strong bonds and partnerships between the University and the local community. As part of our commitment to knowledge and promoting scholarly discourse, we bring together Columbia University faculty, students, and alumni along with global scholars, regional experts, innovators, non-profit organizations, and government to discuss a range of issues and host thought-provoking events.
We aim to attract a diverse audience through forums, panels, training workshops, seminars, and conferences where participants exchange ideas with a focus on regional and global impact
Other program objectives such as sharing research evidence are initiated as a result of conversations on topics like economics, public health, policy, the arts, sustainable development and more.
