Faculty Service

Faculty members at Columbia Engineering contribute service to their departments and their disciplines at-large, the University, and the greater scientific community in New York City and beyond.

Outreach


The Outreach Programs Office offers critical support to faculty who are developing research proposals, especially National Science Foundation applications. The director collaborates with faculty to communicate the social impact of the science to a broader audience and to meet the required broader impact merit criteria.

As Broader Impact professionals, the Outreach Programs Office acts as a knowledge broker, partnership coordinator, and capacity builder that supports and may directly participate in research, education, communication and community engagement between the academy, other diverse stakeholders such as K-12 and informal education, industry, and society-at-large.

DEI Resources


Columbia Engineering’s goal of advancing and nurturing a diverse, equitable, and inclusive climate for all faculty, students, and staff is broad, connecting with every aspect of our work — from student recruitment to alumni relations. Discover ways to find support, give support, learn, and grow as we move forward together.
