Columbia Business School graduates often share their time, resources, expertise, and energy with students and faculty by coming to campus as guest speakers, participating in panels, hosting mentorship discussions, leading site visits, offering career guidance, contributing to case writing, or delivering a course as an adjunct professor.
Alumni provide valuable career advice to students and are key recruiters of our MBA talent. They are also important supporters of student fellowships and scholarships, ensuring that Columbia Business School continues to attract the best and brightest students.
