Dear Fellow Alumni,

Once a year, we have the exceptional opportunity to unite and give back to the institution that has been instrumental in shaping our careers, our personal lives, and the ambitions that fuel our future. This is that moment - Columbia Giving Day !

Once a year, Columbia asks for our support to empower future generations of students. Our interim president, Dr. Katrina Armstrong, said during the 2024 Columbia leaders experience “Leadership is based on a balance and commitment to integrity and empathy, and the ability to see someone in front of you, to understand what they are about, and how your responsibility is to help move that forward “

Now, I would like to ask us to rise to the occasion and do our part in making a lasting impact.

There are numerous giving opportunities beyond our individual schools that are directly tied to our community and Taiwan. I encourage you to explore where your contribution can make the greatest difference:

Asian American Institute – A new initiative launched this year by Shirley Wang (Columbia Trustee), aiming to raise $40 million to create a lasting impact for Asian American studies in Columbia University.
