Today Columbia University celebrates [**Giving Day**](https://www.arch.columbia.edu/events/1152-giving-day-2018), an annual online giving tradition. It is an opportunity for GSAPP alumni, faculty, staff, friends and family to come together as a community to build resources that enrich the academic experience for students. By supporting future GSAPP graduates today, you help ensure that the next generation of your alumni peers and professional colleagues practice urbanism with the same commitment towards improving the built environment as their predecessors have. [**Join me in letting Urban Design students know that we care about their success**](https://givingday.columbia.edu/campaigns/ud-program-fund-gsapp) Giving Day is here for one day only — please don't wait to show your support.
