COMMITTEES
The Columbia College Women Board of Directors has four priorities: programming, outreach, development and mentoring. We invite you to join in one of the following committees, or to simply be an ambassador, attendee and/or supporter in our efforts.Get Involved
The Odyssey Mentoring Program was founded on the belief that Columbia College students and alumni want to support one another, share stories and encourage one another’s success, thus creating a strong and tight-knit community. The College has more than 55,000 alumni working in myriad careers and around the country. OMP makes it possible for community members to connect in a variety of ways, from an email exchange to in-person meetings and small group gatherings.
This program provides students with the opportunity to hear directly from accomplished College alumni who are industry leaders. Alumni share their professional journey and the steps they took to get to where they are in their career today with students who are interested in learning more about their field. This is a tailored networking and learning opportunity that takes place at the alum's workplace. Serves anywhere between 25-50 students per event.
Volunteer with the College's women community by helping to plan events, mentoring, helping with fundraising and facilitating outreach to the broader alumnae base.
