Introduction
The Korean Business Association (KBA) of Columbia Business School is a
professional and social organization for Korean students,
Korean-American students, and any students simply interested in
Korea. Formed many years ago, we have progressively grown larger
and stronger with each passing year to meet the needs and wants of our
membership. Armed with a current membership exceeding 60 CBS
students, along with a sizable network of alumni located throughout the
world, including New York, Seoul, and Hong Kong, we work to benefit our
Korean brothers and sisters and help them to achieve the highest level
of success.
In this 2008-2009 year, 17 new members joined KBA. It's been a great step forward
and we are very sure that KBA will be more successful next
year.
What We Do
We hold a wide variety of events, including Chazen Korea tour, inter-business school
mixers, Happy Hours, Korean BBQ nights, poker tournaments, golf
tournaments, alumni receptions, and guest speakers. We work
closely with the other Asian organizations in the Business School to
increase our exposure to issues and themes that are relevant to
Korea. We also work with other Korean organizations within
Columbia University as well as non-profit organizations in the New York
area to broaden our reach and assist in mentoring and
volunteering. Please refer to the events
page and join us in our upcoming events.
Who We Are
Our members comprise a range of ages, origins, and hometowns within
the broader Korean community and include non-Koreans, as well.
We are well represented in Korean students who have traveled to the US
to earn their MBAs as well as Korean-Americans who are proud of their Korean
heritage and want to interact with their brethren. We
represent a wide range of professional backgrounds, including
investment banking, private equity, sales and trading, equity research, management
consulting, information technology, law, journalism, and general
industry. Please feel free to contact any of the members of
this year’s executive board.
