In the spirit of gratitude, let’s all take a moment to reflect on how fortunate we are to live and study in the state of Illinois (in the top 10 most welcoming states for LGBTQ folx and their families), the city of Chicago (with a complicated history but strong commitment to DEI) and of course Columbia College Chicago. Sometimes the world can be filled with hate(see here) but at Columbia we are not only accepting. We are celebratory. We are fabulous, professional, welcoming, funny, creative, talented, persistent, hardworking, hungry, humble, and extraordinary. Remember the reason Columbia is extraordinary, it’s because YOU are extraordinary.
Have an extraordinary Fall semester,
