Resources for Interviewers

Thank you for being a part of our recruiting process here at Columbia. We very much value our partnership with you and are here to help you make the most of your time on campus.



As we regularly deal with students of diverse backgrounds - including their geographic, generational, religious, political, gender, and racial backgrounds - we have found the below resources to be helpful in educating ourselves for how to best assist our students. We hope that you will take the time to review this information and share it with your interviewers and firm members as they prepare to meet with our students and interact with them over your summer program. 



If you would like to discuss any of the included materials further, or have materials you think might help us as well, please do not hesitate to reach out to anyone on our team.
