Studying is important, but so is going out and experiencing the wonderful city that we live in. For a full list of all the museums you can go to for free with your ID, visit the Columbia Arts Initiative website. Take advantage of the opportunities at your disposal and you’ll gain a plethora of memories, new experiences, and knowledge. In some cases, it won’t cost you a thing.

The beginning of October marks the start of LGBTQ History Month. In the spirit of this celebration, Spectrum has highlighted some LGBTQ clubs at Columbia. These clubs, organizations, and initiatives around campus offer a chance for students to get involved in advocacy, community building, and beyond.
