Distinguished faculty from Columbia and Barnard from a wide range of disciplines share fascinating, new research in TED-type talks, and describe how their findings will impact women in various key ways. Topics include stem cell/tissue engineering research and women juggling scientific careers and a home life, the importance of higher education for women in prison, and how women in international urban slums address the urgent problems of poverty and social exclusion. Join us in learning about these critical women's issues.  

She Opened The Door is Columbia University’s First Women’s Conference. “She Opened the Door” is a tribute to Winifred Edgerton Merrill. She was the first woman to receive a degree from Columbia University, opening the door for women to gain admission to Columbia's graduate and professional Schools at a time when co-education for women was under heavy debate. The event celebrated our powerful network of women, whose Columbia connections broaden our impact in the world — personally and professionally.
