Charles H. Revson Fellowship
Charles H. Revson Fellowship
by Sudhir Venkatesh
The Charles H. Revson Fellowship offers a unique opportunity for self-development in mid-career for urban leaders who have made a substantial contribution to New York City. Revson Fellows take a year of study and reflection at Columbia University. They receive financial support and tuition benefits, academic guidance, and access to University libraries and resources. Fellows also participate in weekly seminars to enhance their understanding of the complex challenges facing New York City. Each year, the program selects ten Fellows of diverse backgrounds and fields of achievement. Since its establishment in 1979, the Revson Fellowship has welcomed over 260 leaders to the University.
Revson Fellows wield wide-ranging influence and capacity in diverse fields. Fellows work in the city's non-profit and governmental agencies, in local grassroots groups and community-based organizations, in firehouses, courthouses, newsrooms and classrooms, in cathedrals and mosques. Revson alumni participate in a strong and active network. They remain in contact and return to participate in the program's weekly dinners. Through their coursework, independent study, and their interactions with faculty and guest speakers, Fellows develop connections with the University and with civic leaders that continue long after they leave the program.
