Ways for Alumni to Get Involved

The MSRED Alumni Mentorship Program carefully matches current students with experienced alumni according to mutual interests and backgrounds, and offers the opportunity for one-on-one guidance throughout the fall and spring semesters, as well as broader networking during group Mentorship events. The program is designed to:
 

• Provide students with insight into the current climate and opportunities in various sectors of the field, including ground-up development, entrepreneurial and institutional investment, private equity, consulting, and the public sector
• Help MSREDs clarify career goals, identify resources and contacts, and plan job search strategies
• Keep alumni connected with young, emerging professionals and informed about the current MSRED program
 

Mentors and mentees are matched at the end of the summer term each year. If you would like to participate as an alumni mentor, please email Emily Griffen, MSRED Career Development Officer, at eg2553@columbia.edu to learn how to get involved.
