Hermes Society
Last year, alumni and friends contributed over $4.6 million to the Columbia Business Fund and the Executive MBA Fund with Hermes Society members contributing more than $3 million of the total. It would take more than $90 million in endowment gifts to provide the same amount of annual support.
With more than 500 members, the Hermes Society has been the driving force behind the growth of the Columbia Business Fund and Executive MBA Fund. Alumni leaders who support the School at this significant level enable the School to compete in a global marketplace and seize vital opportunities as they arise. Just this year, the School introduced new programming to the core curriculum, provided financial aid to the incoming class of outstanding students, and continued to support innovative faculty research in the wake of the economic crises.
You can join the Hermes Society at the following levels:
- Dean’s Roundtable $50,000 and above
- Leadership Group $25,000–$49,999
