This past weekend, school leadership, students, alumni, and families gathered to celebrate Homecoming as Columbia's football team took on Dartmouth. While the Lions fought tooth-and-nail until the final moments, they came up short, 27-24. Nevertheless, school spirit was at an all-time high at Robert K. Kraft Field at Lawrence A. Wien Stadium in Baker Athletics Complex on Saturday. 

The weekend featured a variety of activities, including a special half-time bestowing of a game-day football to President Lee C. Bollinger, to mark his final Homecoming as Columbia's intrepid leader, as well as festive gatherings with alumni, students, and families.

Scroll through the photos below for a serious dose of school spirit, both on and off the football field as alumni, students, and leadership mingled in support of our Lions.
