Columbia is home to many programs that serve as a bridge to recruit candidates, to advance from high school to undergraduate studies, undergraduate to graduate studies, graduate studies to faculty positions, and junior faculty positions to research independence.
As part of this work, the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty Advancement has convened an administrative group called Columbia University Pathways Programs (CUPP) that connects the staff and faculty who coordinate these programs and organizes joint summer programming to support the professional development of participants.
