Columbia mostly lacks tradition and eschews it in favor of quirkiness. But the one major, longstanding event is Manifest. It's what your whole four years are about, and you're encouraged to explore it every year. It's basically a showcase of the work of graduating seniors at the end of each year, and there's a lot of great fun activities going on all around the South Loop too. It's really a worthwhile event.

Manifest is an awesome experience. It happens at the end of each year and consists of graduating students' work. There are student galleries, performances, shows, and much more. Columbia also typically brings in a musical guest to perform a small concert. (Previous artists included Lupe Fiasco and OK Go) Overall manifest is a fun experience and you are able to witness what the graduating students have created.
