Columbia College: Core to Commencement

To help power a $400 million global capital campaign, Columbia College commissioned a series of documentary shorts that captured the unique spirit of inquiry and academic freedom long enshrined on its Ivy League campus on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. From Pulitzer Prize-winning historians to deeply motivated students, the series captures the university’s dedication to truth, and the humanities as an integral component of progressive society.

Written and produced by John Hubbell. Filmed by Nick Kraus and Tom Pietrasik with Adam Benn, and Marc Lesser and Andrea Stewart of Lucky Tiger Productions. Edited by Emily Hager, Andrea and Lance Murphey. Score by Jonathan Kirkscey.  Bernice Tsai, Executive Producer.
