Alumni Network

group of people

The GSAS alumni community is a worldwide network of more than 40,000 individuals, united across departments and degrees by their shared Columbia graduate experience. Columbia's Graduate School is one of the oldest in the country, and your degree makes you an integral part of this institution.

GSAS alumni have a number of ways to stay connected with one another and with current students. Please write to the GSAS Office of Alumni Relations at [email protected] with any questions.

Students become members of the GSAS Alumni Association automatically upon receipt of a postgraduate degree from Columbia University. The GSAS Alumni Association offers regular programs and events for alumni. Click here to learn more about how you can stay connected to GSAS.

The GSAS Alumni Association is governed by a board of directors. The board strives to enhance the GSAS student and alumni experience by developing the alumni network across the professions and promoting development efforts. Click here to learn more about the board.

The board’s work is divided between a series of committees. Click here to learn more about the committees and their responsibilities.
