Columbia University was founded in 1754 as King’s College by royal charter of King George II of England. It is the oldest institution of higher learning in the state of New York and the fifth oldest in the United States. After residing at two locations for nearly a century and a half, the University moved to Morningside Heights in 1897.
Columbia is one of the top academic and research institutions in the world, encompassing 17 schools with more than 25,000 students and 2,000 international faculty. Eighty Columbians—alumni, faculty, researchers, and administrators—have won Nobel Prizes. Furthermore, eight current faculty members are Nobel laureates in medicine, economics, physics, and literature. Columbians daily continue to conduct path breaking research in medicine, science, law, business, the arts, and the humanities.
The University’s Mission Statement: “Columbia University is one of the world’s most important centers of research and at the same time a distinctive and distinguished learning environment for undergraduates and graduate students in many scholarly and professional fields. The University recognizes the importance of its location in New York City and seeks to link its research and teaching to the vast resources of a great metropolis. It seeks to attract a diverse and international faculty and student body, to support research and teaching on global issues, and to create academic relationships with many countries and regions. It expects all areas of the university to advance knowledge and learning at the highest level and to convey the products of its efforts to the world.”

Join us for our fifth annual installation of our uptown staple Translocal Feminist Film Series, “Immigrant Women: resisting and re-existing”. hosted by the Undocumented Womens Fund. As the criminalization of immigrant communities intensifies and our already precarious access to basic social services is curtailed, we have curated a list of films that highlight the intersecting character of our struggles–whether those over labor rights, access to social services, and against surveillance, detention and deportation.
All screenings will be at Haven Plaza (711W 168th St NYC 10032 across from Barnes and Noble). Doors open at 6:30 and film will begin at 7:30, followed by an open discussion lead by fellow organizers and filmmakers

K Awards Training: A Path to Success
Online
K Awards: A Path to Success is a combined web-based course (5hrs) and livestream workshop (6hrs) that will familiarize participants with the fundamentals of successful K award applications.
This workshop will take place in two parts: a required online, asynchronous web-based course (4-5 hours total) followed by the livestream, 6-hour online training. Participants will be given access to the web-based course about two weeks before the live training.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be familiar with the following topics:
- K Program Goals and Expectations
- Types of K Awards: Which Is Right for You?
- Timing: When to Submit Your K Application
- K Award Application Preparation and Considerations
- K Award Application Evaluation: How K Awards are Evaluated and Scored
- Principles of Great K Applications
- Selling Yourself as a K Applicant
- Selling Your Science
- Synthesizing the Full K Story
One round of written feedback for a Specific Aims page will be made available to all attendees for up to 2 months after the workshop, at no additional cost.
Audience and Requirements
This workshop targets researchers who have submitted or will be submitting a K award application or are thinking about submitting a K award application within six months to one year from the workshop date. There are a few requirements to attend this training:
- Participants must complete the web-based course (consisting of online videos and activities) prior to the livestream training session. Participants will be given access to this module about two weeks before the live training, and will take about 4-5 hours to complete.
- While this workshop targets trainees, it is unsuitable for pre-doctoral students. All participants must have completed a PhD, MD, and/or DVM.
- Participants will be asked to send a draft Specific Aims page to instructors to receive initial feedback ahead of the workshop, and have their draft aims (whether their real or ‘disguised’ research) seen* by others in attendance.
*Hands-on activities will use participant aims pages, and we therefore request that all participants respect the confidentiality of other attendees. Any participant who prefers not to share their research ideas may create a mock aims page to use during the training.
