Thank you to the nearly 14,000 donors, including alumni, parents, friends and students, who gave to Columbia College during Fiscal Year 2015–2016. This support, along with generous contributions to Arts & Sciences, Athletics and the Columbia Libraries, makes possible the unparalleled undergraduate experience that is available to Columbia College students.
Many thanks as well to the 10,655 who gave $19.19 million to the Columbia College Fund in Fiscal Year 2015–2016. Gifts to the College Fund meet the immediate needs of the College and its students. The College Fund supports financial aid, the Core Curriculum, student services and internship stipends, and enriches the lives of students in every way.
Many of the gifts in Fiscal Year 2015–2016 also support Core to Commencement, the first campaign devoted exclusively to Columbia College students and the faculty who teach them. This $400 million campaign, publicly launched in November 2015, has inspired and brought together an amazing community of College alumni, parents, friends and students who are committed to enhancing the Core Curriculum, supporting students and their faculty, and growing the Columbia College Fund.
The following sections detail the exceptional support of the Columbia College community in Fiscal Year 2015–2016. Thank you for supporting Columbia College students in every way.
