10+ Photos Bringing Glorious Back-to-School Energy as Columbia Students Begin the Fall Semester
From Convocation and move-in, NSOP to ice cream trucks on College Walk, the fall semester is off to an energetic start.
To say the energy on Columbia's campuses these past few weeks has been electric would be an understatement. Starting in August, students began returning in droves for a mixture of orientation programs, ceremonies to celebrate their new chapters, and lively events meant to bring everyone together...not to mention classes, which officially started on Sept. 5!
From Convocation, to move-in and family goodbye, the New Student Orientation Program (NSOP) and ice cream trucks on College Walk, the fall semester is already in full gear and we can't wait to see what comes next.
