Columbia University College Democrats
The Columbia University College Democrats make up one of the largest political clubs on campus. After the recent round of elections, the new president for next year is Sejal Singh, and the Vice President is Austin Heyroth. This year's president and vice president were Janine Balekdjian and Evelyn Jagoda. The president two years earlier was Seth Flaxman.
The body encompasses a variety of liberal and progressive opinion, ranging from environmental, civil liberties, social justice, and foreign policy issues. Recently the group has showcased this diversity with its new forum, "Liberal Sparring", in which members debate on issues that do not have consensus in the Democratic party. Every week in the body meeting a member gives a "Liberal Boot Camp" on something in the news or political arena they believe deserves more attention.
