About the Columbia Parent & Family Blog

The Office of Parent & Family Programs has designed this blog to create a new point of connection for Columbia families. We hope that this space will be a forum for parents and families not only to learn about Columbia University, but also to connect with each other and to keep better informed about events and policies affecting your students. We are currently working on developing the blog to include an extensive list of links to Columbia departments as well as news and information that may be of interest to parents and families. We invite you to comment on the information posted on this blog, and to engage in an interactive discussion with the Office of Parent & Family Programs and with other Columbia families.Please check back soon for updates.
