About Us
"I still primarily think of myself as a union organizer, but its been transformative for me to develop interests and ideas and interests that aren't quite as big as the union but are important in small ways to me, like learning to play piano or talking about theology with the graduate students at Union Theological Seminary. "

Overview
The Charles H. Revson Fellowship advances civic leadership in New York City by engaging mid-career urban leaders in an intensive nine-month course of study, research, and reflection at Columbia University.
Each year, the program selects a cohort of ten Revson Fellows, individuals who have made significant contributions to the city and who reflect its diversity. There are no educational prerequisites and Fellows come from diverse backgrounds and fields of achievement.
Established in 1979, the Revson Fellowship has welcomed over 300 leaders to the University, providing tuition and financial support, academic guidance, and access to University resources. Revson Fellows engage in weekly seminars together while also pursing individually designed programs of intellectual enrichment.
