Welcome to Columbia Model Congress

We hold weekly meetings on a variety of subjects based on current events. Members take on the role of politicians debating the issues. Topics can be as far-ranging as gay marriage, national security, the best neighborhood pizza joint, or the coolest member of the University administration. If you have any ideas for the group or want to join, email the Executive Board.

We also run an annual simulation of Congress for high school students the first one will be on April 4, 2008. Columbia students chair committees and run all aspects of the conference. After committee sessions, the House and Senate committees respectively join together into full House and Senate sessions. High school students participate as if they were members of Congress, and they draft their own bills for debate.
