Over the last week, Columbia College, GS, and SEAS have all announced substantial changes to their Computer Science majors, an effort to both accommodate the developing academic field and mitigate the department’s years-long issues with over-enrollment.

This week’s events include a faculty roundtable, a climate science colloquium, film screenings, Dog Therapy with Alice! and Active Minds, Latin Jazz Night, and the Dr. Saul and Dorothy Kit Noir Film Festival!
