Thank You
This has been a year of transformation for Columbia Business School as we welcomed our 2022 – 2023 cohort to our new home on the Manhattanville campus. In January 2022, our community relocated to Henry R. Kravis Hall and David Geffen Hall, two buildings that allow us to grow further and modernize, collaborate, innovate, and amplify our reach across disciplines, the University, and the business sphere at large.
In the fall, CBS welcomed a full-time MBA cohort consisting of 629 students hailing from six continents, 28 states, and 75 countries. We had 215 students start their MBA programs in January 2023. We also welcomed 328 EMBA students and 21 new PhD students. Thanks to the ongoing generosity of alumni and friends, CBS is well positioned to meet the evolving demands the global economy has placed on graduate business education.
The 2021-2022 Academic Year represents another milestone for our community. Nearly 7,600 donors demonstrated their commitment to CBS, offering countless hours of their time and over $65 million in gifts. Through these generous contributions, we were able to increase student financial aid. Support for our faculty enabled us to develop cutting-edge courses that will give CBS students a competitive advantage. Indeed, 40% of the elective courses taken by our graduating students this past year were developed in the past five years alone. In addition, support for our centers and programs continues to advance our initiatives in entrepreneurship, social enterprise, real estate, and business and society.
As we step forward into this next ambitious phase for the School, CBS leaders will be at the forefront of addressing and creating solutions for the dynamic needs of the global marketplace. Through research, scholarship, and curricular innovation, we are preparing our students to navigate society's most critical shifts, including technology and digital transformation; climate change; and inclusive, diverse perspectives in leadership. Our new campus allows us to nurture both the formal and informal tenets of a business school education. Manhattanville provides spaces for creativity, innovation, and communication for our students, faculty, and alumni, while also providing new classroom space equipped with the latest technology for the quantitative skills to be taught.
I am proud of what we have accomplished together, and I look forward to what we will continue to achieve as a community in the year ahead.
All my best,
