Columbia University President Jennifer L. Mnookin

In her first days, Mnookin met and shared remarks with local leaders at an energetic reception held on the Manhattanville campus.

In a letter to the Columbia community, President Mnookin shares her admiration for Columbia as a University of extraordinary intellectual energy.

In an afternoon of thanks and inspiration, the future of the University looks bright.

The appointment concludes an extensive national search led by a committee of trustees and faculty, who sought input from students, faculty, staff, alumni, and other members of the Columbia community.
