Center for Public Research and Leadership Info Session

Our semester-long course offers an equity-focused leadership development experience focused on the design, governance, regulation, democratic accountability, and transformation of school systems and allied public- and social-sector organizations. Students engage in a client-facing project and rigorous seminar and practical skills training to build their capacity to address complex problems and advance improvement and innovation in collaboration with peers, clients, and stakeholders. Students also have opportunities to connect with employers nationwide as they plan their career trajectory, and they join a lifelong network of clients, alumni, funders, and leaders committed to public sector improvement. Graduate students join us from 25 professional programs at Columbia University and other universities around the country during the fall or spring semester. Learn more and RSVP for an info session.
