*Letter from Amman: Columbia Global Centers’ COVID-19 Update*
<https://columbia.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d292297f0bf6d52795f566e6f&id=ab1a00378b&e=b071ffe087>Dear
colleagues,
I write to you from my home in Amman, Jordan, where I have been following
shelter-in-place directives to stop the spread of COVID-19. The city has
been in lockdown since March 18th, and I must say that it’s fascinating to
experience
<https://columbia.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d292297f0bf6d52795f566e6f&id=b1c4a263d3&e=b071ffe087>
a large, global crisis from the perspective of a small country like Jordan.
In my calls with the Global Centers’ teams across the world, before we
turn to the business at hand, we share intimate stories of the creative
ways our respective neighborhoods are coping and supporting one another.
The irony of this pandemic is how, in these efforts, we feel strongly
connected with so many others, yet have never been so alone.
Much of what I do is to globally connect people, institutions, and ideas,
always with a full schedule of international travel. Now, with COVID-19, my
challenge (and everyone’s challenge) is doing so from within four walls.
How extraordinary that we live in an age where that is actually possible.
With this pandemic, in every country and at every level, our collective
leaders’ cri de coeur must be adaptability, global cooperation, and shared
solutions. Although we have not yet reached the apex of this pandemic's
devastating impact, I am convinced our community will emerge stronger
because these are the very values that Columbia University, under the
leadership of President Lee C. Bollinger, embraces. These values are why
President Bollinger founded the Columbia Global Centers in 2009, and why
the Centers have grown to become an essential part of the University’s
identity.
With the Global Centers located in nine countries and on four continents,
and with ten years of on-the-ground, embedded work globally, we are
uniquely positioned to bring to the Columbia community, and vice versa, our
extensive assets and working partnerships with many of the world’s top
leaders, experts, and institutions. And just as important, by being on the
ground, we are able to identify and partner with the emergent groups and
people doing the cutting-edge work of tomorrow, today.

As of now, all the Global Centers are working remotely, with the exception
of the Beijing Center, which has been transitioning back to the office
after working remotely since January. We have pivoted to developing online
programming that builds on the critical value of our unique global network
and its attendant ability to appeal to worldwide, regional, and Columbia
community audiences.
The possibilities for what the Centers can bring to Columbia and the world
are unbounded; we are creating content and experiences around critical,
timely issues of concern, tapping into University resources and global
expertise. This week, our Istanbul Center hosted a webinar
<https://columbia.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d292297f0bf6d52795f566e6f&id=1e35c00419&e=b071ffe087>
on COVID’s impact on emerging markets with one of Turkey’s leading business
experts, and our Rio and Santiago Centers hosted a discussion
<https://columbia.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d292297f0bf6d52795f566e6f&id=7fe78a0b10&e=b071ffe087>
on COVID’s impact on the US Presidential election. Next week, on April
15th, our Tunis and Nairobi Centers, in partnership with ICAP
(International Center for Aids Prevention at Columbia University’s Mailman
School of Public Health) will host a webinar on COVID’s impact on Africa
<https://columbia.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d292297f0bf6d52795f566e6f&id=7c06e49a8c&e=b071ffe087>.
In addition, our Centers are working together, developing integrated,
global programming, such as an upcoming, network-wide event on domestic
abuse, which is of rising concern worldwide.
There is a lot more to come, and I look forward to all the ways we can
share great programming and opportunities with all of you.
Let me end by saying that I am inspired by the empathy and concern many
have expressed for our Centers and their teams, some of whom are working in
locations with limited resources to mitigate the virus’s impact. I want to
thank you for your continued support, and for the advice, perspective, and
enduring commitment we receive from so many of you. I also want you to know
that you and your families are on our minds, and that we wish you safety
and good health.
Warmly,
Safwan
