Bollinger called “the horrors of the Russian government’s invasion of Ukraine and the unspeakable acts of criminal violence, brutality, and violations of international law,” Low Library was illuminated this spring in the Ukrainian national colors.

Bollinger, in a message to the Columbia community, wrote, “We are eager to welcome these students and scholars to our campuses.”
