Add Your Photo

The Giving Day mosaic not only showcases the spirit and energy across the University and the causes donors are supporting, but it also forms an image of a beloved Columbia moment! Join in the fun by snapping or uploading your best Columbia-themed photo (selfies, Columbia Blue gear, campus throwbacks, and pets are all welcome!) to be part of a special representation of our community in action.
