Champion Thought Leadership

Many SPS students sit at tables set up in a square, listening as two industry experts sit in the center of the tables and discuss their work.

The Columbia University School of Professional Studies is uniquely positioned to lead critical conversations and drive innovation across various fields. Harnessing the power of Columbia and the knowledge of adjunct faculty who are full-time professionals and experts in their respective fields, the School prides itself on developing a cutting-edge curriculum that is ahead of the industry.

By supporting a program through a significant gift, you champion thought leadership in your industry of choice. Examples of thought leadership initiatives include:

Sponsor a lecture, conference, or speaker series to create a platform to address global issues that are significant to you or your organization
Provide funding that allows SPS to attract top faculty in a particular subject area who shape our programs and curriculum
Create industry partnerships that enhance learning and better prepare our students to tackle global issues
Give seed funding to establish a center or research project for a specific cause or issue

Connect with our team to discuss how we can work collaboratively to further a cause that is important to you or your organization.
