Columbia World Projects draws on knowledge and resources from across our departments, schools, and campuses in ambitious pursuit of what I call the Fourth Purpose of universities — advancing human welfare by merging our distinctive intellectual capacities with groups and organizations beyond the academy to bring about meaningful change.
Columbia University is committed to achieving a ‘Fourth Purpose’ for the University of advancing human welfare and confronting the great challenges of our time. Learn more about this commitment, and Columbia World Projects' role in it, in the University's Fourth Purpose report.
