Columbia University Students for Human Rights

CUSHR is the primary undergraduate liaison between the undergraduate colleges and the ISHR, and the umbrella group for other human rights groups on campus. The organization was established in collaboration with the Institute for the Study of Human Rights and its Undergraduate Human Rights Program, CUSHR is a dynamic and diverse community that works to support, empower, and connect all human rights-conscious groups on campus as well as interested individuals at Columbia University in their efforts to recognize and combat human rights violations around the world. Columbia University Students for Human Rights (CUSHR) is a student-run organization committed to creating a dialogue about human rights on Columbia's campus by hosting speakers, film screenings, and engagement opportunities with professors. Similarly, CUSHR explores opportunities to network with the wider human rights community through site visits, career panels, and many other events. We aim to foster a community that is engaged with, aware of, and active in human rights issues around the globe.
