From the Lion’s Mouth

“The most formidable aspect of my time at Columbia has been interacting with, debating and learning from people (both students and faculty) who think differently than me, are from different corners of the world, are passionate about similar and vastly different things and all want to share their experiences.”

Stephanie G.; North Haven, Connecticut; Human Rights, Sociology
