🕎 Happy Hanukkah! On Monday evening, Columbia students, faculty, and staff joined Chabad Columbia on the South Lawn to celebrate the fifth night of Hanukkah. Dean Lisa Rosen-Metsch of the School of General Studies and Barnard President Laura Rosenbury took part in lighting the menorah, and students shared their thoughts with the community. After the candle lighting, the festivities continued, as students posed for photos with a walking dreidel and enjoyed latkes and donuts. #HolidaysAtColumbia

✨ Columbia's Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony, held Thursday evening, was an illuminating experience! The annual event on College Walk kick-starting the holiday season is a beloved tradition that began in 1998. Students gathered to enjoy musical performances, camaraderie with friends, and the exhilarating moment the holiday lights switched on. Watch the video with sound for a full sense of the excitement!
