For Students
At IGP, Columbia students gain unparalleled access to experts, develop hands-on experience in policymaking, and engage in dialogue on global challenges.
IGP Student Engagement
The IGP Student Scholars Program helps prepare Columbia students to understand and find solutions to today's global challenges. Students selected for the program benefit from the mentorship of our Faculty Advisory Board and Distinguished Fellows, priority access to events, and other unique opportunities to gain hands-on experience and insight.
In addition to the Scholars Program, IGP is pleased to launch in the 2024-2025 academic year the IGP Student Circle, a group of approximately 100 students from across the University who were among the most competitive applicants to the Scholars Program and for whom IGP offers select opportunities including priority access to guests and programs.
Policy Roundtables and Skills Workshops
A core part of IGP’s mission is to train the next generation of global leaders. IGP hosts Policy Roundtables and Skills Workshops, providing students with unparalleled access to the Carnegie Distinguished Fellows and other leading practitioners. These small, closed-door sessions feature discussions on policy topics informed by real-world experience and workshops on policy skills, including speechwriting and campaign staffing.
Office Hours
Carnegie Distinguished Fellows hold office hours with Columbia students so that students can learn from their distinguished careers, ask questions on today’s pressing global challenges, and seek advice on internships and opportunities.
I think about my students… they will have the opportunity to meet, to get to know, to work with, to learn from being in a classroom with international leaders.
— Michael A. Nutter
