Some details that follow are from Up Against the Ivy Wall, edited by Jerry Avorn et al. (New York: Atheneum, 1969). SEPTEMBER 1966 “After a delay of nearly seven years, the new Columbia Community Gymnasium in Morningside Park is due to become a reality. Ground- breaking ceremonies for the $9 million edifice will be held early next month.” Two weeks later it is reported that there is a delay “until early 1967.” OCTOBER 1966 Tenants in a Columbia-owned residence organize “to protest living condi- tions in the building.” One resident “charged yesterday that there had been no hot water and no steam ‘for some weeks.’ She said, too, that Columbia had ofered tenants $50 to $75 to relocate.” A new student magazine—“a forum for the war on Vietnam”—is pub- lished. Te frst issue of Gadfy, edited by Paul Rockwell, “will concentrate on the convictions of three servicemen who refused to go to Vietnam.” This content downloaded from 129.236.209.133 on Tue, 10 Apr 2018 20:25:33 UTC All use subject to http://about.jstor.org/terms LII CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS Te Columbia chapter of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) orga- nizes a series of workshops “to analyze and change the social injustices which it feels exist in American society,” while the Independent Commit- tee on Vietnam, another student group, votes “to expand and intensify its dissent against the war in Vietnam.” A collection of Columbia faculty, led by Professor Immanuel Wallerstein, form the Faculty Civil Rights Group “to study the prospects for the advancement of civil rights in the nation in the coming years.” NOVEMBER 1966 Columbia Chaplain John Cannon and ffeen undergraduates, including Ted Kaptchuk, embark upon a three-day fast in protest against the war in Vietnam. -

Sustainable Development Defining Sustainable Development Sustainable Development Is One of the Most Pressing Challenges Facing Humanity
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM IN Sustainable Development Defining Sustainable Development Sustainable development is one of the most pressing challenges facing humanity. As the world’s population grows, we must develop new ways to meet our requirements for food, energy, water and other basic needs without undermining the planet’s natural systems. This challenge touches on a variety of issues, such as poverty alleviation, climate change, and food security, which are so intertwined that none can be viewed apart from the others. The term “sustainable” refers to managing the world’s economy in a manner consistent with the continued healthy functioning of Earth’s ecosystems, oceans, atmosphere, and climate. In this context, “development” refers to continued social, political and economic progress aimed at improving the well-being of the global community, especially for the poorest people. Achieving sustainable development requires systemic and integrated approaches that consider the complex interactions between the planet’s natural and social systems, while working at multiple levels of society, from the local to the global. Columbia University has long worked at the forefront of sus- The program provides a unique experience, comprising classes tainable development issues through its research centers and specifically designed for sustainable development students graduate programs.
