Our Mission

Columbia Women's Business Society (CWBS) was founded in 2003 to establish a pre-professional network specifically for women. Since then, we have grown into the largest pre-professional club on Columbia’s campus, specializing in aiding women who are interested in learning more about the world of business and its vast possibilities. As an undergraduate women's organization, we aim to create a business leadership network between Columbia and Barnard students and female professionals in New York City and beyond. We are committed to helping Columbia women attain their professional goals.
