ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
49 BC: Julius Caesar defies the Roman Senate and crosses the Rubicon, uttering “alea iacta est” (the die is cast), signaling the start of civil war which would lead to his appointment as Roman dictator for life.

As the famous saying goes, “Those who can’t do, teach.”

Hillary Clinton will join Columbia University in as a professor and presidential fellow in global affairs, the university announced.

The former secretary of state and presidential candidate will become a professor of practice at the School of International and Public Affairs and a presidential fellow at Columbia World Projects next month, Columbia President Lee C. Bollinger said in a statement.

“Given her extraordinary talents and capacities together with her singular life experiences, Hillary Clinton is unique, and, most importantly, exceptional in what she can bring to the University’s missions of research and teaching, along with public service and engagement for the public good,” Bollinger said.

Bollinger noted that he’s known Clinton personally for 30 years. She’ll begin teaching students in the 2023-2024 academic year.

“Columbia’s commitment to educating the next generation of policy leaders—and helping to address some of the world’s most pressing challenges—resonates personally with me,” Clinton said in a statement. “Thrilled to join this community.”

Columbia University is a private university in New York City. The school has a 5.9% acceptance rate and tuition costs approximately $62,570 for the academic year.
