The Columbia College Alumni Association (CCAA) — a powerful network of over 50,000 members — is the official voice of Columbia College graduates.

The CCAA connects alumni to the College and each other through specialized programming aimed at keeping alumni involved in the social and intellectual life of the College.

All Columbia College graduates are considered members of the association and enjoy the opportunity to meet regularly with College officials to discuss issues important to alumni.

Members support the College by chairing committees, organizing fundraising efforts and raising money for The Columbia College Fund, chief alumni fundraising agency for the College.

The CCAA presents the Alexander Hamilton Award, the College's highest honor, to an alumnus or Columbia faculty member each fall.

Volunteer opportunities include:

Program Planning

Work with affiliated groups such as The Alumni of Color Outreach Program, National Outreach, Columbia College Young Alumni and Columbia College Women to develop programming.

Event Planning

Plan Homecoming, Reunion Weekend and other events and work with student groups to enhance the connection between alumni and students.
