University Benefits
As a Columbia Business School graduate you are also part of the Columbia Alumni Association (CAA), a collective of all University alumni. The CAA is another way to strengthen your bond with fellow Columbians of all University schools, worldwide, through online resources, intellectual opportunities, and discounts.
The Columbia Alumni Center
Alumni visiting Columbia’s Morningside Heights campus can stop by the Columbia Alumni Center to catch up on the latest University news, check e-mail, explore alumni benefits, peruse a yearbook, or just have a cup of coffee. The Center has been designed specifically for alumni use, and includes a lounge, library, seminar room, and courtesy office. It’s an ideal place to meet with fellow Columbians, or to enjoy a quiet moment while visiting campus.
The Alumni Center is located at 622 West 113 Street in Morningside Heights and can be contacted at welcomecenter@columbia.edu or 212-851-7398.
University-wide Alumni Directory
The University-wide Alumni Directory helps you stay connected with alumni from all Columbia schools.
Financial Product Offerings
All alumni are eligible for a wide range of financial products such as insurance (auto, home, and other), short-term medical insurance, the Columbia University MasterCard ® credit card from Bank of America and preferred CD and money-market deposit account rates.
Computer Discounts
The Columbia Alumni Association, in partnership with GovConnection, Inc., now offers Columbia alumni discounted computers (notebooks, desktops, and tablets) and peripherals. Part of each sale benefits the CAA, so you can give back while you upgrade.
Centers and Recreational Facilities
Membership at the Dodge Physical Fitness Center, located on the Morningside Heights campus, gives alumni and their families access to Columbia’s pool, indoor track, squash courts, weight room, and other facilities.
Additionally, the newly renovated Bard Athletic Center at Columbia University Medical Center features a twenty-yard swimming pool, three squash courts, a gymnasium, an exercise room, Nautilus and Universal exercise equipment, dumbbell sets and benches, stationary bicycles, rowing machines, lockers, showers, and saunas.
