How alumni helped the lion roar on campus COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY - SIPA Admissions Blog I’m not going to lie. I LOVE lions. They are fierce, they have some great looking manes, and the females bring home the delicious bacon (antelope?). So it is probably kismet when I got my master’s degree from Columbia University, and joined its ranks a couple years thereafter. Why? Well the Columbia lion is a prevalent symbol on campus.
