Since 1967, the Columbia Queer Alliance is proud to continue its
legacy of pioneering activism and social justice, breaking down
barriers and fostering strong, engaged communities along the way. We
have continued to stand up, speak out and organize for queer students
and their allies by facilitating educational workshops, open forums,
speaker series, and social events. Membership is open to all Columbia
students and affiliates.
