With the many opportunities available at Columbia College — as well as throughout New York City — accessing a unique community of mentors, advisers and experts can help you with questions you’re asking, decisions you’re making and a lot more.
The Odyssey Mentoring Program is designed to be easy and flexible. You can ask one question, request a long-term mentor or figure it out as you go. You can message alumni, invite them to meet for coffee or just stay in touch over email, phone or text.
