Columbia sponsors an endless number of on and off-campus events, many for prospective students and their families. Most theater performances, athletic events and lectures are open to prospective students.
See below for Undergraduate Admissions events and go to the University Calendar (linked at the right) to view University-wide events. The University is in the process of incorporating a greater range of events into the Calendar and because of the University’s size and the recent introduction of the UEC, there are many events taking place on campus that are not posted. If you cannot find an event here or on the University Calendar, try going to other calendars.
The Columbia Marching Band often welcomes new students and visitors to campus.
