Fall is rolling in! As everyone scurries to prepare for all the exciting opportunities on the horizon, it’s time to gather all those important pieces of work and professional documents that represent you. If you’re just starting college, you might have never created a resume before. Worry not!...

Big tent. Big city. Welcome to New Student Convocation 2014! @columbiachi #newstudents #WeeksofWelcome

[columadvising]

Over 200 students attended our networking event yesterday. Who did you meet? What projects are you going to work on together? Bring your team to Convocation this afternoon! #WeeksofWelcome #FreshMeet (at The Hokin Project)

Chicago is more than the South Loop

Why? Because Chicago is a city of neighborhoods. Columbia College calls the South Loop home, but what you see on the way to class is just a small piece of this marvelous place. There is awe-inspiring history and culture embedded in each and every "L" stop.

New students, we call upon you to take the "Ventra U-Pass Challenge." You have 2 weeks to pick up your pass, find a spare afternoon, grab a pal, and hop on the CTA to explore a new neighborhood. 

Learn about the what/when/where of picking up your pass here and get maps, apps, and so much more over at the Chicago Transit Authority.

Tag your adventures with #VentraUpass and ccc_advising will share college advisors' tips for the best things to do in Chicago.

Good Morning, Columbia! It's a BEAUTIFUL day here in Chicago - How do you plan on making the MOST out of today? pic.twitter.com/Y2QUFiR04D
