Tuesday Talks provides GSAPP students with the opportunity to engage with the wider alumni community for informative mentorship during the fall semester. This program pairs current students with alumni professionals for hour-long, one-on-one discussions on career development. Alumni mentors are welcome to participate in the program at their discretion.
The chance to discuss the job market with trusted alumni, including those from various American cities and international locations, is invaluable for emerging practitioners. The demand for mentorship has consistently remained high since the program’s launch in March 2020. Those interested in volunteering as a mentor are encouraged to reach out to gsappalumni@columbia.edu, providing their job title, company name, and location.
Thank you to our GSAPP Alumni Volunteers for Tuesday, November 26 at 9:00 am EST.
