Columbia University Science Olympiad is an undergraduate student group dedicated to fostering an active community of Science Olympiad alumni and improving the experience of middle and high school students involved in Science Olympiad. We were founded by Ryan Anselm, Eric Mao, and Aunika Zheng (Class of 2024) in Spring 2022 and hosted our first tournament in the 2022-2023 season. We are an entirely student-run organization and are dedicated to providing a fun and educational experience for all competitors. While our biggest event each year is our Division C invitational, typically held towards the end of January each year, we also seek to provide resources and volunteer in the surrounding community. If you are a Columbia student interesting in getting involved, join our member mailing list to stay updated!
