The Columbia market is year-round on Sundays and Thursdays and as always, accepts credit, debit, and EBT. With Chinese New Year, the Super Bowl, and Valentines Day just around the corner, there are plenty of fun, food-centric events to get us through the long slog of winter.
On the Morningside campus, composting has been the vital missing component of a consistent, aggressive Dining sustainability program, says Scott Wright, Vice President, Student Administrative Services.

LOW PLAZA AND OTHER LOCATIONS
Every year Columbia hosts several Morningside campus drives to reduce, reuse and recycle items not part of the usual city waste pickups, and donate some of these items to local not-for-profit organizations. Clean and Go Green is held over the summer and is tailor-made for staff and faculty to go through their offices when the pace at the University is a bit slower than during the academic year. Give and Go Green is geared towards students leaving at the end of each semester, but anyone can join in.
At the end of the fall semester, the two drives are combined into Clean/Give and Go Green. It also features a coat drive, in partnership with NYCares. As we gear up for the next Clean, Give and Go Green in a few weeks, we pause to recognize the leadership and hard work displayed earlier this year for Clean and Go Green. With each effort, the Columbia team continuously improves and builds on what came before, and Upper Manhattan becomes a bit more sustainable.
