CAA Digital Networking Hour

PLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENT IS ONLY OPEN TO ALUMNI.

Networking is one of the best ways to reconnect with your fellow alumni and make inroads for that next career step! Recent CAA Networking Hours have drawn alumni from all professions, including entrepreneurs, writers, healthcare professionals, and lawyers. Most of them credit networking with other alumni for their career success.

This event is a great opportunity to virtually connect to the Columbia network, which is 365,000+ alumni strong. Mingle with alumni professionals interested in finding collaborators, sharing resources, and inspiring new projects.

Don’t see your industry? You can join the “Wildcard” group for a chance to meet alumni from a variety of different backgrounds.

No matter where you are in the world, you can participate. Best of all: it’s free and only open to Columbia alumni. You never know who you might meet!
