For those who have concerns about immigration, mental health, harassment and violence, you may also want to review the Office of University Life's resource page.

The Office of University Life continues to support and assist undocumented students, including DACA recipients.

During this time of rapid, unprecedented change in U.S. policy, it is ever more important that we find ways to come together as a University community. If you are hosting an event you would like to share with others at Columbia, please let us know at [email protected].
