Student Services

Ramadan Mubarek! To those who observe, Student Services wishes you a healthy and holy fast, with plenty of opportunities to gather and celebrate with loved ones. As a reminder, Muslim Life at Columbia is offering a number of iftar dinners in the Earl Hall Auditorium (117th St. and Broadway). Students are also welcome to join the nightly taraweeh prayers in the same location. There will be an Eid al-Fitr prayer and celebration on campus on the morning of Weds., April 10. In addition, our Muslim Law Students Association will be sharing information about its own events and opportunities for the community. If you have any questions, including requiring any accommodations during the month, please reach out to Student Services.

Prof. Clare Huntington will identify the problem and discuss possible paths forward. Register here.
