The Organization of Pakistani Students is a student group open to all Columbia University
undergraduate & graduate students, staff, and faculty. We seek to bring together those members of
the Columbia & Barnard community that share our interest in the social, cultural, and political
milieu of Pakistan and Central & South Asia. The club was founded over a decade ago with hopes of
fostering understanding and diversity at our campus - and still strives to achieve that vision
today.
Students of Pakistani heritage have been a part of the Columbia University community since
Pakistan's independence. Columbia was the site of one of the first formal Pakistani student
associations in the United States and over the past five decades, multiple organizations
representing Pakistani students have been a vibrant part of campus life. The OPS, established in
1992, is a descendent of those organizations and is deeply rooted in their rich history.
