Columbia Engineering CE2
On behalf of Columbia Engineering and Columbia Undergraduate Admissions, we are pleased to inform you and your students about the Virtual Columbia Engineering Experience (CE2). As a counselor and adviser, you are invited to share this opportunity with your organization's outstanding seniors (based on our recommendations below) who demonstrate a strong interest in engineering, science, math and technology. Your students may apply for this selective program via our online application. The deadline to apply is September 9.
CE2 was created to encourage high-achieving high school seniors from historically underrepresented backgrounds to explore an engineering education at Columbia; it is our only selective virtual program, designed for high school seniors. This year CE2 is taking place October 8 - October 9, 2022.
Program Highlights Include:
- World-class faculty and research: Learn and ask questions with members of Columbia’s renowned faculty.
- Inside look at life as a Columbia student: Work with an undergraduate student mentor, learn about campus life and hear from current students, including leaders from a variety of student organizations.
- The NYC advantage: Learn about the cultural, professional, research and intellectual resources at our doorstep including exclusive career and entrepreneurship opportunities.
- Admissions 101: Participate in comprehensive college admissions and financial aid workshops and office hours conducted by members of the Columbia Admissions Committee.
CE2 is designed for high-achieving high school seniors who have:
- Exemplary academic records, particularly in math and science, including coursework in calculus, physics and chemistry
- Sincere interest in pursuing an engineering education
- Genuine appreciation for the educational value of diversity in all its forms - ethnic, geographic, religious, political, intellectual and so on
CE2 is designed to serve students from backgrounds that are historically underrepresented in engineering and applied science fields, including:
- Low-income students
- Underrepresented students of color
- Students who will be the first generation in their family to attend college
- Students from underserved and rural communities
Please direct your students to our website for the online application and instructions. The deadline to submit an application is Friday, September 9, 2022. Students selected for the program will be notified on Friday, September 30, 2022.
Thank you for supporting your students as they consider applying for participation in CE2. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you should have any questions or if we can provide additional information.

Civil Air Patrol Cadet Opportunity
Are you considering joining the military after high school? Are you interested in aviation and flying? Do you want to find a way to serve your community? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, then the Civil Air Patrol may be for you. The Civil Air Patrol is the auxiliary of the Air Force. Adults and youth members, called Cadets, receive aerospace education, train to help our communities during disasters or for search and rescue operations, and support the missions of the US Air Force. Cadets also learn and compete in drill and ceremonies, are able to take orientation flights in Cessna aircraft, hot air balloons, and gliders, and have the chance to gain skills to be prepared to help in emergencies. Columbus has a squadron that meets regularly at the Columbus Municipal Airport. Cadets ages 12-19 can join and participate actively. We invite you to come check out a meeting and learn more. With your parent, contact Lt Brian Herbert, Squadron Commander at 317-902-2407 or brian.herbert@inwg.cap.gov. Learn more about CAP at www.gocivilairpatrol.com. Brochures are also available in the brochure rack at the airport terminal.
