Class Council

Each incoming class elects its own council, whose function changes as the class progresses through its four years of medical school. Each class participates in this longstanding partnership with the administration and work to improve the medical school experience for our class and classes to come.

In addition to events planned by representatives in their individual roles, current projects of the first year class council include working with Facilities Management and Campus Services to redesignate study and social spaces to better serve students, providing structured feedback to improve the new pre-clinical curriculum for future classes, and establishing a formal Graduate Student Council with other graduate schools at Columbia University.
