Did you know that the Berick Center for Student Advising (CSA) held over 30,000 individual one-on-one advising conversations last year? We provide an integrated advising experience for all students in Columbia College and Columbia Engineering.

We look forward to officially welcoming you to campus in the fall and accompanying you on your journey over the next four years, as you explore, discover, and change. In the meantime, I offer some advice prior to your arrival on campus.

Sincerely,
Monique Rinere
Dean of Advising
James H. and Christine Turk Berick Center for Student Advising
