In honor of President Lee C. Bollinger’s transformational tenure and vision, the 17 schools along with the Office of the Provost have endowed a fund to sponsor event programming at the Forum.  The Bollinger Convenings at the Forum will aim to highlight powerful work from Columbia and beyond that advances Columbia’s Fourth Purpose.  This series will showcase innovative initiatives that bring scholarship and knowledge to build collaborations across and beyond academia to advance human welfare and benefit society.  The events will bring diverse voices and perspectives together, foster dialogue across fields and communities, further enliven our campus, and open doors to new collaborations.  They will be held at the Forum, a unique gathering space and a gateway for the community to our campus.
