Our Mission

ALI Columbia was founded to empower AAPI students at Columbia University to break through barriers and build meaningful careers in competitive industries. Situated at one of the world's top research universities in the heart of New York City, the chapter connects students directly to a network of accomplished Asian American professionals across finance, technology, law, and beyond. Through speaker events, one-on-one mentorship, and professional development programming, ALI Columbia equips the next generation of AAPI leaders with the tools, relationships, and confidence to make a lasting impact in their fields and communities.
