Membership

Cluster Q has many types of membership. Please check over the list below to learn about what membership type is right for you and please get in touch with our VP of Membership if you have any questions.


LGBT members

All MBA, EMBA and PhD students who would like to join Cluster Q as full LGBT members should join via the 'Join a Student Club' link on Groups Management.

MBA students should forward any queries to the VP of Membership and EMBA students should feel free to get in touch with the Head of EMBA Engagement with any questions.

Straight Allies

Straight allies can sign up by clicking here. Membership is totally free! Allies will receive regular communications from Cluster Q as well as invites to all of our fabulous parties. Please contact our VPs of Straight Allies if you have any questions.

Faculty/staff members

Faculty and staff play an extremely important role in creating a culture that celebrates diversity and tolerance. We warmly invite staff and faculty to join Cluster Q at no charge, either as an LGBT member or as a straight ally, whether you choose to be an active member or not. Faculty and staff members will receive all communications that student members receive. Please contact our VP of Membership to join.

Associate members

In 2010, we were pleased to launch associate membership to Cluster Q to allow people outside of the Columbia Business School community get involved in our organization. Membership is open to two groups: current students at other schools within Columbia University and graduates of other MBA programs living in New York. Membership is free and you will receive regular communications from Cluster Q and invites to networking events. Please click here to sign up and contact our VP of Community with any questions.

Alumni members

Our active network of alumni play an important role in our organization. If you are an LGBT alumnus of Columbia Business School and not currently registered to receive our alumni communications, or if you need to update your details, please click here so we can get to know you better.
