Bienvenue, Benvenuti, Willkommen!!!  

                                                                          to the

                                       Columbia Club of Switzerland

                                        with Chapters in Basel, Geneva and Zurich

Did you know that there are 9,500 Columbia alumni in Europe and that 586 are in Switzerland! It is no wonder given that the country is a center for finance and international relations and is located in the heart of Western Europe.

The Columbia Club of Switzerland was founded in May 2006 to 1) provide a forum for alumni in Basel, Geneva and Zurich to socialize and network among each other, and 2) to act as a link to the wider European network and our alma mater back in New York City.

So, whether you are in Switzerland because it's home, you've relocated for work, you're studying at one of the Universities, or simply passing through on holiday, come see what's going on!

• Aademic and intellectual activities
  • Professor Stiglitz (SIPA) was in Geneva on Oct. 6th to give a lecture on the international financial crisis
