Columbia Emerging Markets Society

WHO WE ARE

The Columbia Emerging Markets Society (CEMS) is an on-campus student organization that serves as a platform to research and share economic developments in emerging markets while exploring specific industry verticals and cultures across these regions. Members are encouraged to find ways to increase foreign investments in emerging markets, acknowledging the need for sustainable development in these five main regions: Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Middle-East & North Africa, and East-Asia.

From attracting engaging guest speakers and policymakers to hosting lively panel discussions and debates, Columbia's Emerging Markets Society is committed to creating an exciting program for our members to engage with the most compelling growth markets of our time.

HOW WE WORK

The Columbia Emerging Markets Society provides a variety of opportunities, from weekly meetings where you discuss and learn about emerging markets, to insightful panels from industry professionals, to insightful articles published on the review. Our members come together to explore new ideas, develop valuable skills, and connect with peers and professionals from diverse backgrounds. Whether you want to deepen your understanding of emerging markets or simply engage with a supportive community, there’s something for everyone here, and always new initiatives coming up around the corner.
