Departments in Campus Services, including Dining and Mail, are proud to support the organization SNACK. SNACK, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, provides children, teens, and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders with after-school and weekend recreational programs designed and staffed to address their needs. SNACK also provides pre-vocational training and supported employment opportunities. Through SNACK and Columbia's partnership, Andy was able to work toward a position with Columbia Dining in John Jay Dining Hall.
In October 2017, Sexual Violence Response (SVR) recognized its 25-year anniversary at Columbia University. Past and present staff and students involved in the formation of the office came together during an event in Lerner Hall to mark the occasion. This video features those individuals as they reflected on their past experience, how it has shaped their work today, and their thoughts for the future.
In January 2018, Columbia Housing announced to East Campus residents that the building would be included in the NYC Department of Sanitation's compost program. This is the fourth Columbia undergraduate residential hall to add composting. In an effort to educate students on the basics and encourage composting, Housing partnered with the student group EcoReps to create this fun how-to video.
In March 2018, Columbia Health launched a redesigned website at health.columbia.edu. The new site provides a clear path to access critical services for the student community and serves as a helpful resource to partners in the schools and departments that support them. Changes to the site design, structure, and content presentation were driven by extensive input from students, as well as school and department staff through a series of online surveys and in-person sessions. The result is a cleaner, modern, and more user-friendly website.
In 2017, Living Monuments by Michal Nachmany was installed in Garden Room 2 in Faculty House. In this art series Nachmany celebrates the continued growth of Columbia University’s Manhattanville Campus, while paying tribute to the Morningside Campus and to landmarks and history of a nearby section of Manhattan’s Riverside Park.
