Student and Alumni Engagement

.

The Santiago Center actively engages Columbia's over 1,000 alumni in Chile through dynamic programming and partnerships with the Alumni Association of Chile and the Business School Association of Chile. From academic discussions to social events, it provides opportunities for alumni networking and collaboration. The Center also extends its reach to Peru, fostering regional connections and addressing shared challenges through joint initiatives and events.

The center welcomes the active and energetic participation of our current student and alumni community. As we advance collectively towards a bright and prosperous 2040 for Chile, engagement from our student and alumni community to foster research, educational exchanges, or public events within any of our three thematic areas.
