Cluster Q is here for you!

Welcome to Cluster Q, Columbia Business School's LGBT community. Whether it's recruiting, awareness or socializing, Cluster Q has an active events schedule every semester open to all MBA and EMBA students, our alumni, students at other Columbia graduate schools and our straight allies within the Business School.

Columbia Business School received an "A" from Aplomb Consulting's Report Card for LGBT Friendly Business Schools!
See page 18 in the report for rating details.

Cluster Q has three objectives: Visibility, Connectivity and Continuity; with programs and activities designed for each.

Visibility

By increasing awareness of LGBT issues in the corporate environment, we hope to educate both our LGBT members as well as our straight allies as they enter leadership positions post-MBA.

• Facilitating LGBT MBA recruitment events

Connectivity

We hope to create a vibrant community both within Columbia Business School and our external partners by hosting events that will allow us to build meaningful networks.

• Cluster Q pre-happy hours
• Regular post-happy hour parties
• Annual Reaching Out MBA Conference
• Theatre trips

Continuity

Ensuring that we have a healthy pipeline of incoming members allows us to build a strong and lasting legacy for Cluster Q.

• On-Campus LGBT Admissions Panels for Prospective Students

• "Check Us Out" Information Sessions for Prospective LGBT MBA Students (together with Harvard, Kellogg and Wharton)

• Welcome Reception for Class of 2012 Admits
