How to join BSIF.
No finance résumé, technical background, or previous investing experience is required. Start with interest and a willingness to participate.
Open the interest formWho can join
Students across Columbia University.
BSIF is open to students from Columbia College, Columbia Engineering, Barnard College, the School of General Studies, and graduate students. Your major and current level of investing knowledge do not determine whether you can participate.
The process
Four steps to get involved.
Come to a meeting
You are welcome at open meetings even if you have not completed the form yet. Show up, ask questions, and get a feel for the community.
Get connected
After you submit, a member of the team can follow up with meeting information and help connect you to the email list and Slack.
Join a team
To participate on an investment team, submit your résumé and stay engaged. Prior experience is not required; consistent participation is what matters.
Good to know
Can I attend before applying?
Yes. Open meetings are available even if you have not submitted the form or résumé yet.
Do I need investing experience?
No. BSIF is designed to help students learn from the beginning and continue developing technical skills over time.
Why submit a résumé?
It gives the club a consistent way to keep track of participants and organize investment teams. What is on it is not a pass/fail test.
