Additional Information

Engagement Manager, The Grad Network Columbia/Barnard Hillel Role Overview Since 2018, The Grad Network has been a hub of Jewish life for graduate and professional students at Columbia University. The Grad Network not only builds community among Jewish students on campus, but also connects students to meaningful Jewish experiences throughout NYC. While our mission is constant, our methods are defined only by the limits of our community's imagination. The Grad Network initiatives draw upon the rigorous and intellectually-exciting environment of both Columbia University and New York City. As much as The Grad Network contributes to the campus community, it is a part of the Jewish ecosystem in New York City. The Engagement Manager for The Grad Network will be responsible for building relationships with Jewish graduate students across Columbia's three campuses, collaborating with Jewish professionals in the city, and facilitating meaningful Jewish experiences for our graduate student population. This position will work closely with and be supervised by the Director of The Grad Network. This is a fully in-person role that requires a flexible schedule and the ability to work occasional nights and weekends.
