I am writing to announce the launch of a major research initiative at Columbia to advance prevention of sexual violence.

I am pleased to announce that I have appointed Peter E. Pilling as Columbia’s new Director of Intercollegiate Athletics and Physical Education.

This week’s national holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. arrives at a troubling time for America, at a moment of national reflection on the realities of race in our society.
