The Technology Club is at the core of business, technology, and innovation here at Columbia Business School. We are the largest professional organization at CBS, with over 600 members. We support and promote the career and skill development of students interested in careers in technology. Our methodologies - which include workshops, panels, office treks, and alumni networking sessions - explore the immediate issues of how technology has and will continue to change the way the world and business works.
Our goal is to provide students with the skillset and confidence needed to excel at the tech recruiting process. Our approach spans three major pillars: 1) professional development, 2) community, and 3) partnerships.
