"Unleashed 2022" Gala 

Thank you to the donors, board members, alumni, faculty, students, and staff who made Unleashed 2022 a resounding success. Because of these combined efforts, Columbia raised more than $750,000, benefiting Persistence Scholarships. These invaluable scholarships often make the difference for students who need support to persist to graduation.
