Columbia Undergrads Chosen as UN 2021 Millennium Fellows
They join more than 2,000 students, representing over 120 universities worldwide, who are deeply committed to social impact, sustainable development, and climate change.
Thirteen Columbia undergraduates ranging from sophomores to seniors form part of the newly named 2021 class of Millennium Fellows, a program run by the United Nations Academic Impact and Millennium Campus Network. The program’s purpose is to “convene, challenge, and celebrate” student leaders working toward UN sustainable development goals through social impact. The Columbia cohort joins more than 2,000 Millennium Fellows this year, who represent more than 120 college campuses worldwide.
Given that Climate Week NYC starts on September 20, now is the time to celebrate Columbia’s Millennium Fellows, who are focusing on sustainable development and climate issues.
