About Us

The Columbia Business School (CBS) Africa Business Club (ABC) works to advance social and economic issues related to Africa and promote an understanding of Africa at Columbia Business School. ABC not only shares cultural and international perspectives from Africa on campus, but also builds community through education and various forms of engagement and entertainment. ABC serves to uplift the voices of Africa and the African diaspora on campus in unique ways by amplifying trends and opportunities within Africa and African culture to create a strong bond among members and allies. The ABC also co-hosts the Columbia Africa Conference with other Columbia University graduate schools such as the School of International and Public Affairs and the School of Engineering. The conference is the largest African focused event at Columbia Business School. The conference engages attendees in fruitful discussion regarding challenges and opportunities in Africa. Furthermore, the mission of the Club is to increase awareness of business opportunities in Africa across the student body, not just among African students.
