Space to Connect, Reflect, and Heal

Campus Services, Columbia Events, Community Citizenship, Counseling/Psychological Services

Over the past three weeks of this new academic year, we have been confronted with continued realities of inequity, injustice, and (personal and structural) violence that weigh heavy and impact many in our community. With the tragic shooting deaths of Keith Lamont Scott and Terence Crutcher, escalating hostility toward the Muslim community, recent violence in Chelsea and Minnesota, the cultural and environmental destruction of the proposed Dakota Access Pipeline, recent and continued acts of hate locally and globally, we have a pressing obligation as a community then to learn from and uplift each other.

Columbia University Multicultural Affairs — along with our colleagues in Undergraduate Student Life, CSA, CPS, and across campus — are here to provide personal and community support. In addition to on-going resources (see below), we want to provide additional spaces for reflection and healing in light of these most recent tragedies.

Open Space to Connect, Reflect, and Heal

5pm – 7pm

From continuing racialized violence to growing hostility given the political climate, we acknowledge that there have been numerous ways our hearts and minds have been heavy with ongoing pain in our communities. The OMA offers this space for students who wish to come together for reflection and healing.
