COÖP is an administrative, student-led program supervised out of Student Engagement, within Undergraduate Student Life. The student coordinators for the 2018 trip are Nick Rio (ROP), Sam Kodama (BOP), and Adekunle Balogun (HOP); they can be reached via coop@columbia.edu.

COÖP family caravans line up on Amsterdam near 116th street, where they will be met by a COÖP leader with a bin to help you unload your vehicle. While you move in to your room, your family can park anywhere around campus. Columbia Security will be available to guide you to where you can legally park your vehicle. (Get directions.)

Your families will receive registration information for Family Orientation, which occurs after you return from the COÖP trip and before the start of the New Student Orientation Program (NSOP). Families are welcome to stay until or return for Family Orientation. However, Family Orientation is not mandatory, and some COÖP families choose not to attend. Students are also welcome to arrive alone and have their parents meet them after the COÖP trip.

COÖP staples include GORP (similar to trail mix), macaroni and cheese, pita, hummus, oranges, s’mores, and much more. Come hungry!
