I'm probably going to be adding more to this or changing it quite a bit. How is it for starters?
Thanks!
Sitting in Lerner Hall, I take another bite of my New York style pizza. As I look into the main campus, I can barely make out the top floors of the Northwest Corner Building as its construction nears ever-so-closely to completion. During my internship at Columbia University Facilities, I became cognizant of the fact that Columbia had commissioned the construction of several new buildings, not only on its Morningside campus, but in Lamont as well. Even as a high school student, I had become familiar with-and grown to admire-Columbia's devotion to expanding its academic horizons by eagerly embracing and supporting new ideas.
Columbia's unyielding pursuit of advancement in science is evident in its recent endeavors to construct a Geosciences Laboratory in Lamont as well as the first metal-clean lab on the East Coast. As a prospective chemical engineer, I wouldn't be able to find such resources and facilities anywhere else. Nor would I have the opportunity to study at a college with an intrinsic dedication to providing students with up-to-date science and engineering libraries, labs, and facilities.
The College's encouragement of the often controversial political activism demonstrated by its students further depicts its stimulation of progress. An avid environmental activist myself, I would thrive in the pioneering environment Columbia fosters.
