Current Student DEI Resources
Undergraduate Students
In addition to the support and resources provided to Engineering students through our office, Undergraduate Student Life works to foster a welcoming and inclusive community by supporting undergraduate students in the development of skills and awareness of self and others required to responsibly engage, serve and lead at Columbia, in New York City and beyond. Through strong collaborations with students, Multicultural Affairs oversees affinity groups, organizational advising, heritage months, community programming — and so much more.
