Interschool Governing Board
The Interschool Governing Board (IGB) funds student groups outside of the jurisdiction of Activities Board at Columbia or Student Governing Board. Effectively, the IGB recognizes student groups that consist of both graduate and undergraduate students.
Only a small number of groups are recognized by and receive funding from IGB, and thus the interaction between this board and the undergraduate body is very minute, though growing each year.
History
The board was established in 2006 to help fill the cracks of the recognition system, serving interdisciplinary and student groups with members from both graduate and undergraduate schools.[1][2] The IGB is overseen by the Office of Civic Action and Engagement and the University Senate.
