Mentorship

A strong community. A clearer path forward.

CUBPS brings Black Columbia undergraduates together to prepare for competitive careers and graduate-school pathways. Through industry education, mentorship, and professional preparation, we help members turn their ambitions into their next steps.

Professional Development

Our 2026–2027 model is built around four career verticals: Finance, Consulting, Technology, and Higher Education. Members join a semester cohort to build knowledge in their field, prepare for interviews, and connect with professionals and alumni.

Community

Professional growth starts with people who support you. CUBPS brings together students with different interests and shared experiences, creating space for connection, collaboration, and community throughout college.

Mentorship

From navigating recruiting to preparing for graduate school, members gain support through mentorship, smaller networking opportunities, and selected alumni programming. The goal is a community whose members return to help the next cohort.
