Spring '24 Social

"I really enjoyed getting to meet everyone at the spring '24 social--I liked learning how everyone's unique interests and backgrounds contributed to their distinctive part in producing the Review. I also felt like a nice reaffirmation of everyone's enthusiasm and commitment to the publication! It was also a unique opportunity to hear from older students pursuing similar fields to mine."

Outreach Committee

CUMR’s outreach committee is focused on informing the greater NYC community of health information and educating budding investigators on conducting scholarly research! You will soon find on here pictures of the events we host around the city and in various schools to empower, educate, and equip the public with medical/research knowledge!

CUMR-Led Highschool Workshop

CMR hosted two workshops at the Columbia Secondary School for Math, Science, and Engineering. These workshops are designed to educate high school students about the fundamentals of medical research and how to begin delving into the field. With this initiative, we seek to empower students to navigate the complexities of medical research, and teach them how to explore their interests in medical topics.

"Our visit to the NYC high school was such a wonderful experience! I had the opportunity to share my personal journey in research, from how I discovered my passion to securing my position. It was incredibly rewarding to see the students' interest sparked as I shared my story and offered advice on how they could also pursue research opportunities. Being able to connect with them on a personal level and inspire them to explore the world of research was truly fulfilling. I'm grateful to be part of CMR's mission to empower the next generation of researchers." - Love '27 Columbia College

"During our time with the students of Columbia Secondary School, we provided students with encouragement and guidance on how to navigate the academic world. Our knowledge became their knowledge!" - Ashday '25 Columbia College
