CONGRATULATIONS TO Columbia's newly named SCHWARZMAN SCHOLARS
The Schwarzman Scholars program seeks to train future leaders to meet the challenges of the 21st century and beyond by preparing scholars to understand China, its role in global trends and their role as future leaders. The fellowship provides Scholars the opportunity to develop their leadership skills and professional networks through a one-year Master’s degree at Tsinghua University in Beijing.
The program’s unique combination of coursework, cultural immersion, and personal and professional development equips Schwarzman Scholars with a well-rounded understanding of China’s changing role in the world, critically important to leadership in any field in the 21st century.
The Scholars selected this year represent the eleventh cohort of Schwarzman Scholars, which is made up of a class of 150 Schwarzman Scholars from 40 countries and 83 universities from around the world, including five Columbians!
Schwarzman Scholars will engage in a graduate curriculum focused on leadership, global affairs, and China studies. They are taught by leading faculty from Tsinghua as well as from many globally recognized international universities, and attend lectures delivered by global thought leaders. Scholars gain unique exposure to China through mentoring, internships, and experiential learning.
The names of the Columbia awardees will be forthcoming!
