ISSO Updates (COVID-19, Tax extension and webinar, Tips)

March 30, 2020

Life has changed dramatically since the last in-person class was held at Columbia just over 3 weeks ago on Friday, March 6th. The disruption to our academic, professional, and personal lives cannot be overstated. Some of you packed in a hurry and traveled home or elsewhere; others are self-isolating in your homes along with fellow New Yorkers. We are all in this together, and we hope you and your family and friends are safe. We’re sorry we can’t be with you in person, but the ISSO is here to help.

Here are some updates:
