Alumni Representative Committee (ARC):
 |
The Alumni Representative Committee (ARC) is a network of Columbia College and Columbia Engineering alumni who support Undergraduate Admissions by interviewing applicants, representing Columbia at college fairs and hosting regional events for admitted students. ARC facilitates alumni meeting students around the world—in person and virtually—so that the students can learn about the unique Columbia experience from alumni who have experienced it firsthand.

Do you live in Leeds, Glasgow, Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester, or elsewhere outside the M25?
We are looking to support our members across Britain. If you’re an alumni living somewhere other than London, and would like to be your city’s Ambassador, please let us know. You’d be a point of contact for visiting alumni and help arrange the occasional happy hour for other local members.
