About

Columbia University is a prestigious Ivy League research university located in Manhattan's Morningside Heights neighborhood, offering undergraduate, graduate, and professional education across arts and sciences, law (Columbia Law School), business (Columbia Business School), medicine (Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons), journalism (Columbia Journalism School), public health, social work, and engineering. Founded in 1754 as King's College by royal charter of King George II, Columbia is the fifth-oldest institution of higher education in the United States and generates approximately $6+ billion in annual revenue including research grants and clinical operations.\n\nColumbia's academic strengths include exceptional programs in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, public health, international affairs (SIPA - School of International and Public Affairs), finance and economics (Columbia Business School), and the arts. The university is located adjacent to Harlem in New York City, providing students with extraordinary access to New York's business, cultural, and media industries. Columbia's alumni include Barack Obama (undergraduate), Warren Buffett (Business School), and numerous Nobel laureates and heads of state.\n\nIn 2025, Columbia University faces several significant institutional challenges: the university became a center of the pro-Palestinian campus protest movement in spring 2024, with protest tent encampments and building occupations that led to police involvement and hundreds of arrests. The federal government under the Trump administration has scrutinized Columbia's response to antisemitism concerns, threatening federal funding cuts and ultimately resulting in federal funds freezes. These political pressures add to the institutional challenges Columbia shares with other elite universities including endowment management, faculty governance tensions, and navigating diversity and admissions policies post-SFFA Supreme Court ruling.

About

Brisk is a functional beverage brand offering ready-to-drink iced tea and juice drinks, jointly owned by PepsiCo and Unilever under the Lipton brand partnership. Launched in the 1990s, Brisk positioned itself as a bold, value-priced iced tea targeting younger consumers who wanted flavorful, refreshing beverages at affordable prices — often sold in large cans and bottles that delivered more volume at lower per-ounce costs than premium tea brands. The brand's irreverent advertising featuring clay-animated celebrities became culturally memorable.
