2005

2005 in Columbia history:

• Creation of the National Undergraduate Film Festival

Spring

• Grad students strike during finals for the second year in a row; this time joined by sympathizers from Yale. A giant inflatable rat is positioned outside the 116th Street gates.
• Robert Kraft is the keynote speaker at Columbia College Class Day

Fall

• December: Subway strike fucks up New York City, but everyone still required to be at Columbia, every day, on time
