What a Columbia Graduate Can Do For You
Thank you for your interest in recruiting CUSSW students and alumni. The Office of Career & Leadership Development can assist you in your recruiting efforts.

 

INFORMATION SESSION

The Office of Career & Leadership Development welcomes employers to visit the school and meet students. Information sessions are a great venue to educate students about your organization and related opportunities. Information sessions are generally one hour in duration and are conducted by an employer representative (Executive Director, HR representative, or CUSSW alumna/us). We encourage presenters to talk about their organization’s culture and to describe typical graduate-level opportunities and career paths. Presenters have the option to use MS PowerPoint to assist their presentation, and are welcome to distribute informational materials. Time is usually included at the end for questions.
 
All graduate schools within Columbia University are separate entities and operate their own career offices with separate recruiting events. However, since students from Columbia's graduate schools often share similar interests and skill sets, joint information sessions, with the other Schools specifically International Affairs, Public Health, or Education may be arranged.

ON-CAMPUS INTERVIEWS

On-campus interviews are the most convenient way for employers to interview multiple CUSSW students. The Office of Career & Leadership Development will arrange interview rooms and assist you with interview scheduling. We will advertise your position to current students through our online system and weekly emails. Students will submit their applications to the system, which stores the submissions until your deadline. Upon this deadline, applications will be sent to you in one batch via email. You then decide who you want to interview. For more information about or to schedule on-campus interviews, please contact Kim Barberich at 212-851-2321.
