As we approach a busy Fall semester on Columbia’s campus, we are excited to launch the 2026-2027 Mentorship Program to connect MSRED students with accomplished GSAPP alumni.
Mentorship is a deeply rewarding way to shape the next generation of professionals, expand your own network, and give back to the Columbia community. If you are interested in participating this year, we invite you to complete this brief survey to learn about your career path and availability. Please respond by [DATE], as we aim to complete the alumni-student matching process by the Fall semester.
We recognize the value of your professional and personal time, and aim to structure the program so that significant impact can be created over the course of a few conversations. Every hour contributed by alumni volunteers goes a long way toward helping our students grow into confident professionals, ready to contribute to the field from the time they graduate. Our ultimate goal is to match every student in the Class of 2027 with a mentor, ideally one whose career trajectory closely aligns with the student’s vision for their work. The more detail you can share at the link above, the better!
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions. Thank you for your commitment to the GSAPP community and for sharing your insights with our students!
