C.O.D.E. is Columbia College Chicago's groundbreaking Diversity Equity Inclusion (DEI) career event taking place on Tuesday, April 9th, 2024. What is a Cultural Opportunities and Diversity Expo?
We designed CODE as part career fair, part expo, part lunch and learn, where Columbia students can interact with employers and organizations that recruit, mentor, support, promote, and retain diverse talent.
