Initiatives

The Action for Black Lives Initiative

The Action for Black Lives Initiative is a student-run organization established to bring together social workers and communities in action to build a just and equitable society where Black people can thrive free of oppression, fear, and violence.

Sexual Respect and Community Citizenship Initiative (SRI)


The Sexual Respect and Community Citizenship Initiative invites you to examine the link between sexual respect and membership in the Columbia community. Created by students along with faculty and administrators, the Initiative asks each of us to do what we can to promote a campus culture that reinforces sexual respect and unequivocally rejects sexual harassment, sexual assault and other forms of gender-based misconduct, and empowers students to know where and when to get help.
