A Word from Our Director: Columbia World Projects in 2024
Climate change, misinformation, extreme inequality, threats to democracy, conflict –the world seems to be facing multiple existential crises at once. As 2024 gets underway, we are both humbled by the challenges and more convinced that the mission of Columbia World Projects – to spark and amplify social impact work at the University – is as important as ever. With that in mind, this year, we are committed to bold action and difficult conversations, including around the following areas of work.
