The World Leaders Forum was initiated by President Bollinger in 2003 as part of his plan to make Columbia more "global." During the UN General Assembly meeting each fall, Columbia invites a number of major world figures onto campus to deliver speeches and take part in conferences. Forum events are held throughout the year as opportunities present themselves.
You know the forum's in town when there are snipers on the roofs of Columbia buildings.
