The origin story

Columbia in Tech started with a San Francisco brunch group of a dozen attendees in 2017. Six years later, we’ve grown to an all-volunteer organization that aims to connect, inform, and amplify alumni & current students interested in technology, across Columbia College, Columbia Engineering, Barnard College, and General Studies.

What do we do?

• Build a volunteer team of alumni and students dedicated to the cause, who serve as network “nodes” to connect individuals seeking specific expertise or opportunity
• Organize events and initiatives for alumni and students in the industry to build awareness and connection with each other
• Help our community to discover new opportunities, accelerate learning, and magnify each other’s needs and achievements.

Some of our programming and events include:

• Monthly newsletters with profiles of alumni, job opportunities, and community news
• Reunions in SF & NYC, bringing together 120+ alumni at each event
• Panels & speaker events
• Virtual alumni office hours
• Social events, from picnics and hikes, to brunches!

How we’ve grown

Today, Columbia in Tech has over 800 newsletter subscribers, roughly doubling from the year prior, and regularly hosts events in New York, San Francisco, and Boston attended by 120+ community members.
