Columbia is bigger than your corner of campus.
Coffee@CU helps students across every school meet each other, then opens doors to the faculty and alumni who've been where you want to go. Every reach-out starts with a real message, so conversations begin with purpose.
Three steps to a better conversation
Create your profile
Share your school, major, interests, and what you'd love to talk about. Your profile goes live right after email verification.
Browse the community
Search by name, interest, major, or availability. Filter by year and school. Discover students, faculty, and alumni you'd never stumble across otherwise.
Reach out with purpose
Send a personal note explaining what you'd like to discuss. Coffee, tea, or a quick Zoom. No anonymous reach-outs, ever.
Every school. Every year. Every path.
From first-years to faculty, CC to Teachers College. Verified @columbia.edu and @barnard.edu accounts only.
