Contact a Student
We hope you will reach out to the current students listed below with any questions you have about the Columbia MBA student experience. Should you have questions about the admissions process, please contact the Admissions Office directly.
All students listed are members of the Hermes Society, a group of selected students who voluntarily serve as ambassadors for the Admissions Office and who provide a student perspective on life at Columbia Business School.
Keep in mind that our students have very busy schedules. The Admissions Office asks that you refrain from e-mailing the same questions to multiple students. Please click on a student’s name to send him or her an e-mail.
January-term students are noted with an asterisk.
