For 12 months ending in October 2004, the Columbia 250 celebration gave the University the chance to reflect on its distinguished history and essential place in the city of New York even as it looked ahead to a continuing role as an education leader in the nation and the world. On campus and off, the anniversary gave Columbia an opportunity to connect with its alumni and underscore through numerous changes over the years, the dynamic energy at the heart of the enterprise continues to grow stronger with each passing year.
