Capital Campaign
A TRANSFORMATIVE INVESTMENT in the FUTURE of BUSINESS EDUCATION
In today's rapidly changing world, it is hard to predict what discoveries, challenges and innovations lie ahead. But we do know that institutions of higher learning need to be at the vanguard of that change. Columbia Business School is poised to make a transformative investment in the future of business education with a $400 million capital campaign, linking our resourcefulness with commensurate resources.
Business leaders today need to think on their feet, assimilate data quickly, seize opportunities and understand and manage risk. Today's outstanding business school education must develop leaders through a rigorous academic experience that successfully bridges theory and practice. No one school is leading the race, but Columbia Business School is well-poised to do so, starting with some natural advantages: our cutting-edge faculty research and a focus on experiential learning, a powerful alumni network and our location in the city of New York.
Columbia Business School is on the cusp of a transformation, one that will change the footprint of the School in years to come while maintaining all that has made it great since its inception. Today, the School is at a crossroads where our intrinsic capital, our nascent efforts to develop innovative programs and curriculum and our plans to grow the School's physical space are converging. We not only must invest in new, groundbreaking projects and initiatives, however, but also must enhance the larger framework of the School. This transformation and the process of realizing our vision requires investments in people, programs and facilities. I am confident that with the involvement and support of the School's powerful network, we will succeed.
