Educational Outreach

Overview

The Columbia CIBER is committed to promoting links between its educational and research programs on campus and the broader academic community.

International MBA Career Services Conference

Since 1993, career placement officers from MBA programs throughout the United States have come to Columbia each year to discuss best practices, the nature of the global marketplace and international placement opportunities for MBA students. Conference participants from universities with CIBER programs convene for a special working breakfast to explore career placement strategies that leverage the CIBER network. The Career Services Conference is held in March, and the 2008 dates will be posted here when announced.

China: International Business University Seminar

Seminars sponsored by various academic departments at the University offer an ongoing dialogue on topics relating to international business. The Columbia CIBER partners with many of the University's departments and institutes to support seminars on relevant topics and to increase the number of business-oriented topics addressed in the seminars. To inquire about upcoming seminars, please send an email to cibs@columbia.edu.

Leadership Enterprise for a Diverse America

The Columbia CIBER supports Leadership Enterprise for a Diverse America (LEDA), a nonprofit that seeks to increase the admission of under-represented youth to leading colleges and universities, by hosting specially designed courses for New York City public high school students at Columbia Business School. Faculty members from public high schools also participate in the program with the goal of improving the quality of business education in the students’ home schools.
