Columbia Connects is an annual event that brings alumni and the Columbia community together to share their Columbia connection across the globe. This year, we invite you to join us for an interactive conversation and breakfast titled The Climate Change Threat to Water, Food, and Shelter with Richard Seagar '90GSAS, Palisades Geophysical Institute/Lamont Research Professor, PhD., at the Columbia University Club of New York as we kick-off Columbia Connects in New York. This special morning program will delve into the importance of climate change with our esteemed Columbia University faculty, and explore its effects on our modern society and day-to-day life.
