Diversity Film Series: "Outlier: The Story of Katherine John" (2019)

Regrettably, this event has been postponed until further notice.

Although there are no known cases of COVID-19 in the Columbia University community, this is a rapidly changing situation that is being closely monitored by University leadership with guidance from the federal, state, and local government. In efforts to minimize risk of exposure for all, the University has advised that events for Columbia faculty, students and staff on the Morningside and Manhattanville campuses can continue as planned or be postponed at the event host’s discretion. On the advice of the Provost, we will take the maximum precaution and postpone all OADI events for March through April 10.

These plans are subject to updates.

Please visit Columbia’s new COVID-19 website for more detailed information, which is being updated frequently.

We welcome any questions about this and other events at mailto:gsas-diversity [at] columbia.edu

Join the GSAS Office of Academic Diversity and Inclusion for a free screening of Outlier: The Story of Katherine Johnson. This documentary maps the life of mathematician Katherine Johnson as she grew from a small girl in Jim Crow West Virginia to become one of the first African American women to work in NASA and play a critical role in the successful landing of the Freedom 7 and future Space Shuttle missions. The screening will be proceeded by a Scholars on Scene discussion with Earth and Environmental Sciences doctoral student Shanice Bailey. Beer and sandwiches will be served.
