Design for Excellence: New Sports Center Reflects Commitment to Athletics and Community

he New York Times has called Columbia’s new Campbell Sports Center a building that shows both its “brains and its Tbrawn,” which makes perfect sense for a facility meant to support the University’s athletic and academic excellence. The sports center isn’t the only change coming to the athletics complex, which faces the waterfront in Inwood Hill Park. The University is building the Boathouse Marsh, which will restore the park’s salt marsh and create public access to previously inaccessible waterfront along the Harlem River. Made possible through the generosity of numerous donors, the facility is named in honor of Columbia’s trustee chair, William V. Campbell, who was the captain of Columbia’s football team in 1961. Campbell, recalling his years as a Columbia linebacker, and later the team’s coach, described the dilapidated Baker Field, when he coached there in the 1970s, as “not a welcoming place.” Today, by contrast, “we have a stadium, now we have a welcoming gate, now we have an athletics facility that the students, the faculty, the alumni and the neighborhood will all be glad to be a part of.” Originally published in vol. 38, no. 08, of The Record 6 | summer 2013 the Columbia Newsletter: news for our neighbors www.neighbors.columbia.edu

As part of the University’s ongoing commitment to the local community, Columbia has dedicated a portion of the Neighbors website to communicate some of the University’s commitments for project-related programs and services that are currently available.

Additional Supporting Documentation

● Summary of local outreach efforts

Columbia University’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions undertakes numerous recruiting efforts geared towards students from high schools in the local community. Columbia University visits schools in the targeted outreach area on an annual basis, with visits typically occurring during the fall semester of each academic year. We also visit schools outside the targeted area that enroll students from the targeted area. See the attached list of schools visited each year. We accept invitations to school based college fairs, provide workshops on admission and financial aid, and provide opportunities for students to participate in on campus programs for high school students.

Invitations to all programs are sent to students who are on our mailing lists, neighborhood schools, community based organizations, community boards and other potentially interested parties. Students often contact Columbia University directly to inquire about admissions. If their high school is scheduled for a visit during the academic year, those students are contacted individually to notify them of the upcoming visit.

Targeted Outreach / Recruitment Initiatives:

 Multicultural Open House- workshops on admissions and financial aid  Engineering Invitational- meetings with faculty, master Classes, tours of laboratories Science Invitational- master classes, student service panels, Laboratory visits, financial aid workshop.  Columbia Engineering Experience- NYC site visits, engineering competitions, classes (three day program for underrepresented students).  Admissions/Financial Aid Workshop for Upper Manhattan and South Bronx students and families.

Partnerships:

We have also partnered with New York City public schools and programs that have formed consortia (e.g. partnerships have been established with schools and programs such as College Bound Initiative, and we work with Prep for Prep, The Albert G. Oliver Program, A Better Chance, the TEAK Foundation, and other such programs that support first generation/low income students (some from Harlem and Upper Manhattan by placing them in private preparatory boarding schools in the Northeast and private day schools in New York City. These programs attract some of the most talented students from the targeted areas and provide them a most challenging educational experience.

We have established contact with Community Board 9 in an effort to ensure that residents are aware of Columbia’s outreach and educational programs that serve high school students and adult learners in our neighborhood.

To strengthen outreach, we also participate in college fairs sponsored by public middle schools and high schools where students have the opportunity to speak to Columbia administrators and student representatives from the Minority Recruitment Committee, a committee formed specifically to participate in college fairs in the local community. College Fairs and Programs Attended:

 College Edge Seminar and Fair  NSBE Pre-college Initiative Fair  Parents Night at The High School for Math, Science and Engineering at City College  Harlem Week College Fair in August  Bronx Engineering and Technology Academy (BETA)  Comprised of 24 Catholic, college preparatory high schools  Democracy Prep Charter School  Camp G.O.A.L.S. for Girls College Fair  Lighthouse Charter School Bronx  Graffiti Park College Fair (A coalition of East Harlem high schools)  The Urban Assembly School for Performing Arts  Thurgood Marshall Academy for Learning and Social Change  Frederick Douglass Academy

Information sessions are held twice daily and provide time for question and answers. An administrator covers topics such as the admissions process, financial aid opportunities, and academic programs.

This year we also hosted campus visits for several schools and programs from the targeted area which included general information sessions, student guided tours, and panels comprised of current students.

Among those programs/schools that participated in on campus visits were:

 Pathways to College  Bronx Institute Honors Scholars  NYC’s Urban Schools Program  Mott Hall High School  Harlem Center for Education  New Heights Charter School

Columbia Summer Programs College Fair

Every summer Columbia University hosts one of the largest summer college fairs in the country attracting over 100 colleges from across the country. The breadth and depth of our college preparatory efforts for local students increases the popularity of our summer college fair. The college fair consists of workshops for local parents and students, including tips for performing your college search and navigating the college fair, a workshop on financial aid, and a workshop on the college application process. The fair is typically attended by more than 2,000 community members throughout the day’s events.

New initiatives:

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions has assigned an officer to liaise with the College Access Consortium of New York. CACNY states in its mission: “an informal gathering of community-based organizations (CBOs) coming together to network since each was involved in assisting New York City's young adults gain access to college. As need and increasing college costs continued to bar so many with hopes of higher education, network members placed a special emphasis on helping students and their families apply for, and receive financial aid. Unique to New York City, these community-based agencies are located in dense neighborhoods of high poverty, in need of vast education and academic enrichment supports.

Many of these CBOs serve students in the targeted areas. We will be hosting CACNY on our campus this year.

Another officer is working with the students/teacher who organizes the Community Garden on 119th and Amsterdam; basically, the middle school students learn about time management, study skills and the kinds of courses to take for high school. Students attend the Middle School on 123rd Street that is attached to the Columbia University School. This is a good early identification and building the pipeline effort.

We have established a new relationship with The Young Eisner Scholars (www.yesscholars.org) which was founded in Los Angeles and has established a New York City branch that provided a summer program on Columbia’s campus for middle school students from Harlem and the Bronx. This program is trying to establish a pipeline by working with middle school students in the targeted areas. We conducted a long range college planning program for this year’s participants.
