Columbia University War Memorial

On the evening of December 12, 2008, the Columbia University War Memorial, which is co-sponsored by MilVets, was officially unveiled by the Chair of Columbia's Board of Trustees, William V. Campbell, who is an enlisted Army veteran.

After New Years Day, the plaque will be on display in the main lobby of Butler Library to the left of the staircase. It will be accompanied by an interactive information kiosk. The website in the kiosk is accessible on-line.
