CCE: Kavita Sharma has been named dean of the Center for Career Education, taking
on permanently the position she has held in an interim capacity for more than a year after serving
as a CCE director. Sharma holds a master's in economics, politics of the world economy, from the
London School of Economics, and a B.Sc., politics and international relations, from Southampton University.
Her first job was with Voluntary Service Overseas, the British equivalent of Peace Corps, where she
placed math and science teachers in developing countries and recruited professionals for the United
Nations Volunteers in the U.K. A career change took her to the University of London Careers Service,
the largest higher education careers service in Europe, where she worked for eight years before joining
Columbia in 2002. Sharma oversees 20 professional staff who work with employers, students and alumni.
CCE serves students of the College, SEAS, GS, The School of Continuing Education, GSAS, The School of
the Arts and The Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation. It collaborates with
the career centers of other Columbia schools and its affiliated institutions and is organized in
six departments: Undergraduate Career Development, Graduate Student Career Development, Experiential
Education, Employer and Alumni Relations, Alumni Career Development and Planning and Administration.
