Carnegie Distinguished Fellows
IGP’s fourth cohort of Carnegie Distinguished Fellows will visit SIPA throughout the 2026–27 academic year, collaborating with faculty from across Columbia University to inform and advance IGP policy work, participating in events ranging from major public convenings to closed-door discussions, and engaging meaningfully with students.
This year’s cohort of Carnegie Distinguished Fellows includes a diverse mix of high-profile practitioners from around the globe representing a range of sectors: former high-ranking policy officials, industry and labor leaders, renowned authors, academics, technologists, and more. IGP is honored and delighted to welcome them to SIPA this academic year.

Our Fellows come from across the globe and the political spectrum. They embody what it means to work with people from different backgrounds, to engage and disagree respectfully, to exhibit tolerance and empathy, to be solution-oriented, and to move the policy conversation forward. These are essential qualities for what we do here at IGP.
