THE COLUMBIA STUDENT EXPERIENCE
Jaden ('22 M.S. Stabile) Talks About the Columbia Student Experience 

What is it actually like to be a member of the Columbia student community? Please click HERE to read an in-depth Q&A with recent Master of Science, Stabile Investigative Specialization graduate Jaden about his experiences at the Journalism School and his advice for future applicants. 

"Everybody is here to support one another. And we all have our individual goals, but everybody was super open to giving advice and accepting feedback. It was like we all were working as one to get to the end goal, which was graduation and then to continue our careers.  Some of my best friends now are the people whom I met when we all were in front of Pulitzer Hall at orientation."
