The Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (Columbia GSAPP) is pleased to share that IDC Professor of Housing Design Hilary Sample and Professor Tom Slater have been selected as one of fourteen fellows for the 2023-2025 Columbia University Provost Leadership Fellows (PLF). Faculty members within this cohort are distinguished by outstanding records of scholarship, teaching, and service, and a clear interest in administrative leadership.
Launched in 2013, the PLF program fosters leadership development among Columbia’s outstanding mid-career and senior faculty members. This program is a key component in the University’s efforts to provide a promising and diverse set of faculty members with the resources and support to thrive in their careers at Columbia as they take on administrative roles. Fellows participate in a range of learning and leadership development opportunities over the next two years; interact with the University’s senior leadership; gain insights into campus initiatives, strategic planning, and budget issues; and strengthen peer networks across campus and interact with faculty from prior PLF cohorts. To date, 68 faculty members have taken part in the program.
