CAA (Columbia Alumni Association) sets several Annual Programs in which CAASD Participates:

Columbia Community Outreach (Spring)

Founded in 1997 by Columbia College students, Columbia Community Outreach (CCO) is a student organized undergraduate service day that promotes community service on campus. CCO seeks to bring together the Columbia University community and raise awareness for volunteerism. Since 2006, the Columbia Alumni Association (CAA) has partnered with CCO to connect a global network of alumni, students, faculty, and staff for a day of service to our local communities. Many of our clubs and shared interest groups maintain community service opportunities in their communities.

 

Columbia Connects (Fall) 

Columbia Connects (formerly CAA Worldwide Networking) brings alumni together every year to share their Columbia connection and experiences as well as welcome new graduates to alumni communities across the globe. With over 300,000 alumni worldwide, these opportunities recognize and celebrate the global alumni community of Columbia University.
