Community is woven into every aspect of the CBSexperience and is the primary reason I chose Columbia.It was apparent at my rst information session, whichwas organized by Cluster Q, the LGBT group on campus.It was clear that the group was entirely student-led,was highly visible, and had the support of the entireCBS community. Thats a perfect example of the culturestudents here are immersed in from day one: open,inclusive, and supportive.

CBS MATTERS is a dedicated forum within yourcluster to discuss what you are most passionate about.Students give spirited narrative presentationsrangingfrom light-hearted to thought-provokingon the question, What matters to you and why? Youll deepen yourrelationships with classmates by discovering commonground and sharing sources of inspiration.
