Columbia has been interwoven in the fabric of New York City since its founding in Lower Manhattan as King's College in 1754. Renamed Columbia in 1784, after the Revolutionary War, the university has grown across the city, the state, and the world. We wish our beloved hometown and global community a joyous holiday season!✨ 📷 #ColumbiaPhotoOfTheWeek by Mina Jo (SEAS'26) #ColumbiaUniversity @ColumbiaEngineering #NewYorkCity #NYC
