Columbia values an unwrap, affirming, and welcoming environment for all our students.
We are proud that nearly one-third of our undergraduates who’ve chosen Columbia in the last four years have self-identified as members of the LGBTQIA+ group. These students appear to us from all over the world. Some show up from communities where they’ve been fit to live openly in acceptance, while some arrive at Columbia and locate their first opportunity to live as their authentic selves.
Our alumni shape what’s next in resourceful industries and apply their voices and talents to contribute the LGBTQ+ encounter and perspective.
To those who support and/or identify with the LGBTQIA+ community: We see you, we stand beside you, you are valid, you are cherished, and we adopt you in all your humanness.
