Experience Columbia At A Glance
Embracing every person on campus: Big groups to little groups, artists to athletes, investment bankers to teachers. You don’t have to be the leader of a campus group in order to have a voice on campus. By being a Columbia College student you have a strong platform on which to speak.
Real experience: We cover the bases. We have worked heavily and passionately with a wide array of campus groups and will bring these experiences to the next level. We are approaching this ticket as five strong-willed individuals who work well on one-to-one and community wide levels
Transparency in administration: We work with issues which affect all of you. Your voices will be heard directly and be made central throughout the process.
Strong advocacy: Idealists, yes. Practicality, of course. We will always keep the end goals in sight, and find the steps to get there. We will never settle, and if we fall short we will let you know why immediately.
Honesty and Integrity: From day one, we will be open with you about all of our work. No closed door, off-the-record boardroom decision making. Everyone is welcome to board meetings, we will publish meeting minutes within a day, and “What We’re Working On” weekly on our Portal (see our platform).
We ‘keep it real’: We are students, we have run into red tape, did not have any funding, could not find space, had no one listen to our ideas, and reject them to stick with the status quo; in the end, we can relate. We will be open about our many praises for Columbia, as well as our frustrations. The hackneyed council lingo: “change can happen through communication and time with the administration” will be thrown out the door. Our current limits can be immensely extended.
Availability: We are always around, attending various events, in your classes, on the steps, in the library, cat walking on a runway, shooting hoops, eating in John Jay etc. JOIN US. LET’S TALK
Being the ‘student’ face: Simple—we are not administrators, but we have and can work with them on an eye-to-eye level. Their job is to understand students, and that is what we will show them.
