Columbia Celebrates Veterans Week 2024

As Veterans Week 2024 comes to a close at Columbia, we’re looking back at two moments—our float in the New York City Veterans Day Parade and the Columbia Military Ball—when the University community came together to celebrate our student veterans, alumni, staff, and Columbia’s long history of working alongside the military to support the brightest minds who answer the call to service.

Columbia is proud of our students, faculty, and staff who are veterans, and we are grateful for their service and sacrifice and the invaluable contributions they offer to our community. We are proud that there are more than 700 veterans enrolled as students at Columbia, more than all the other Ivy League universities combined.
