"We are committed to their success and well being both in and out of competition, and look to provide them with resources and life skills that will serve them well long after graduation from Columbia."
Speakers featured at the forum included professionals from Columbia University's Counseling & Psychological Services, Office of Religious Life, and the Department's own Success Through Well-Being office.
