The summit aims to provide a comprehensive platform for healthcare professionals, researchers, and specialists to discuss recent developments in the field of advanced lung disease, including state-of-the-art therapies for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the latest diagnostic and treatment approaches to interstitial lung disease (ILD), novel treatments for cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF bronchiectasis, lung cancer, asthma, and multi-modality management of pulmonary hypertension (PH). We will highlight the importance of multi-disciplinary care of these complex patients with medical co-morbidities, including advanced therapies for lung disease (ECMO, LVRS, BLVR, atrial septostomy, Potts shunt) and the key therapeutic role of lung transplantation. By highlighting the latest research and technological advancements, the program seeks to enhance understanding and collaboration within the medical community. We will employ interactive presentations, including case discussions and a mock multi-disciplinary team meeting, with audience participation through audience response elements embedded into the lectures.

Earl Hall is the place to be on Fridays at 10 am for coffee, breakfast, and exploration of big questions about life, meaning, and purpose.  No prior knowledge or belief system required.  This is not about beliefs or answers.  It is a time for connection and integration of the massive learning that is happening all around us and within us.  It is about your spiritual development as you define it.

Each session includes a thought provoking theme, guided conversation prompts, and opportunities to meet new people in small groups.  Email Karissa Thacker at kt2894@columbia.edu for more information.

The Sabin Center for Climate Change Law and New York Sea Grant will host a one-day symposium exploring legal and policy issues associated with marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) activities that aim to increase uptake and storage of carbon dioxide in the ocean. The event, which is generously supported by the National Sea Grant Law Center and Carbon to Sea, will take place at Columbia Law School in New York City. We are also partnering with Washington Sea Grant, Delaware Sea Grant and Ocean Networks Canada to host “regional learning hubs,” where individuals who are unable to travel to New York can come together to view the program and engage in their own regionally-relevant discussions.

The symposium will feature leading experts who will discuss the legal and policy landscape for mCDR in the United States and beyond. The goal is to bring together a wide range of legal and policy experts, regulators, government representatives, scientific researchers, industry groups, NGOs, and others interested in mCDR to explore the adequacy of existing legal and policy frameworks and how they might need to evolve to better facilitate research and deployment. There will be a strong focus on ways to ensure an inclusive and equitable approach to mCDR development.

The symposium will be accompanied by a special edition of the Sea Grant Law and Policy Journal, featuring at least six articles on issues relating to mCDR law and policy issues associated with marine Carbon Dioxide Removal.

The 2025 Fitch Colloquium, titled Fragments of the Imagination: Provenance, Preservation, and the Afterlives of Architecture, brings together leading voices in preservation, architecture, art history, museum practice, and the humanities to examine the conceptual, ethical, and artistic stakes of working with architectural fragments.

Please register on Eventbrite

Organized by Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP) in collaboration with Provenance Projected—an international research collective exploring the social, material, and historical lives of buildings and their futures—the colloquium asks:

How might architectural fragments be mobilized to reimagine the built environment—not as static inheritance, but as a site of imaginative transformation?
How can institutions such as museums, archives, and landmark commissions be rethought in light of the provenance and circulation of architectural fragments?
How does provenance shape disciplinary knowledge and epistemologies within architecture, preservation, art, and beyond?

This year’s colloquium is grounded in GSAPP’s experimental approach to preservation pedagogy and its teaching collection of historic architectural fragments housed in the Preservation Technology Laboratory.

The colloquium will conclude with a concert in Columbia’s St. Paul’s Chapel of choral music from sixteenth-century Iberia. Curated by music historians Susan Boynton and Eric Rice, the program explores the afterlives of medieval chant. The music will be performed by University of Connecticut’s Collegium Musicum under the direction of Eric Rice, in collaboration with singers from the Department of Music at Columbia University.

Named for the founder of formal preservation education at Columbia University and in the United States, the James Marston Fitch Colloquium became an annual event in 2000. In a day-long colloquium, students, alumni, and guests hear speakers and engage in discussion over current issues in preservation—attempting to discover and define the leading edge of the discipline.

This event is free and open to the public. Registration is required for all attendees. Columbia University campus access is restricted to Columbia affiliates (with a valid CUID) and to pre-approved guests.
