How Does Robbie Lyman Develop His Community at Columbia?

Columbia College junior Robbie Lyman engages with Community Development as our Live at Lerner intern. A music and math major, Robbie works alongside the Student Engagement team on this stress relief and community building series doing all band bookings and program marketing. Robbie says that through Live at Lerner, "We're out to make students' days better." Meet Robbie at this week's Live at Lerner: Sounds event, and find other ways to engage on and off campus by connecting with Community Development in-person and online today.

Live at Lerner: Sounds Presents EchoRev

It’s the last Live at Lerner: Sounds of the semester. Come join us in the Lerner Piano Lounge on Wednesday, December 4, at 12:00 p.m. for a performance by EchoRev. Of course, we will have an amazing lunch, too. See you there!

Celebrate at the Tree Lighting Ceremony

Welcome winter at the annual tree lighting ceremony on Thursday, December 5. The festivities begin at 6:00 p.m. on Low Plaza and include warm beverages while we countdown to the lighting. Join the student councils and members of the Columbia community for this festive tradition.
