If accepted to the program at Columbia Business School, students will have two challenging, educating, exciting years ahead of them, and graduate with a very valuable degree. For some families and significant others, this could also be a big transition. It could mean that partners put their own careers on hold for a while, relocate from overseas, learn a new language, or transfer their children to a new school. For others, this could have minimal impact - but wouldn't it be great to have a network and access to some of the many resources that students do?

The Better Halves Club serves the diverse needs of this community in a variety of ways:

​

•  Our official week-long orientation program, co-sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs, that runs concurrently with the students'

• Authorization for members to audit almost any elective course at CBS, which is a tremendous opportunity not only to learn new material, but also to engage with some of the business world's top minds and industry professionals

• Eligibility for a university ID card, which enables you to join the university gym and gain access to the school's many libraries - it also provides free or discounted admission at many museums and institutions around NYC

• Assistance with job hunting

• Access to industry conferences that are typically only open to business school students - often we can negotiate for members to purchase significantly discounted student-price tickets

• Partnerships with other school clubs, to enable members to meet with other students outside of the BHC

• A great variety of social events
