Join our Alumni Relations and Development Community 

A career in alumni and development at Columbia connects you with the brightest minds doing the most compelling work in every sphere, in one of the world's most inspiring cities.

You could join a team raising funds to provide a student with the transformative experience of a Columbia education or celebrate our filmmakers at Sundance with the Columbia Alumni Association. You could introduce potential donors to a Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist or tweet about climate change research breakthroughs. That's a stimulating work environment!

If you are a passionate professional who wants to make a difference, consider joining our dynamic and accomplished team as we partner with alumni, donors, and friends who share a dedication to furthering Columbia’s global impact. You will find that we are a cohesive community committed to a process of self-reflection, both to generate new strategies for fundraising growth and to become a leader in our field.
