NEWSLETTER
The Office of Government & Community Affairs (GCA) is the University’s primary liaison with
federal, state, and local government, as well as with residents, community leaders, and civic
organizations in surrounding neighborhoods. The office serves as a gateway to Columbia,
responding to a range of inquiries concerning the University. GCA staff also manages
Columbia Community Service (CCS), a program through which Columbia faculty and staff
contribute to local non-profit organizations. The office also has special responsibilities with
regard to development of the university's campus expansion in Manhattanville and the
associated West Harlem Community Benefits Agreement.
