Chicago always has something going on! This weekend, Columbia is hosting our annual New Student Convocation and our classic Student Center'd Saturday. At New Student Convocation, you can always expect the unexpected! It's a great place to meet new students, check out some fun clubs, and eat some free food. Alongside that, you'll see some amazing student and professional performances, henna tattoos, psychic readings, and more! After you've met some new friends at convocation, your new group can meet up at Student Center'd Saturday! There, you'll be able to explore one of Columbia's best building: our Student Center. Floor by floor, you'll explore our gym with the Fitness Challenge, play some pool at the game lounge, and plenty more!
