About Sandy

Hurricane Sandy came and went through New Jersey and affected New York significantly as well. We’re fine, and Columbia University has resumed both classes and work. The subways are shut down for the time being, and anything lower than 39th Street doesn’t have electricity (some spots do, but for the most part it’s dark at ...

New Look and updates
