Class Day
Columbia Engineering Class Day celebrates and acknowledges your hard work and academic achievement. Join your classmates on South Lawn, and cheer on your peers as you receive your class pin and hear from student leaders, respected faculty and an inspiring alumni speaker. Our beautiful campus makes an excellent backdrop for photos with family and friends to commemorate your time at Columbia University.
Commencement
University-wide commencement is the ceremony when your degree is officially conferred. Join all graduating students in academic regalia to hear from the Columbia President Lee Bollinger, hear from those who receive honorary degrees, and watch as awards are presented to outstanding faculty. As the Columbia University campus transforms into a sea of blue, you’ll participate in a time-honored tradition and take your place as a proud Columbia alum.
