Award Recognition
Principled Action
Jalaj Mehta SEAS’25 is the Undergraduate University Senator for Columbia Engineering; he has worked to better the student experience and defend the interests of his constituents for the past two years as part of the Rules Committee, Student Affairs Committee, Inclusive Public Safety Advisory Committee, Structure and Operations Committee, Campus Access Advisory Committee and Engineering student council.
I have faith that among our undergraduate community, there will always be those who dare to bear the mantle of what is right, unwavering in their conviction, no matter the cost. Those of us who advocate for our peers do so not for recognition or appreciation but because we believe in equity, truth and justice for all.
