Center on Global Energy Policy Announces Third Cohort of David Leuschen Global Energy Fellows
January 30, 2025
The Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP) at Columbia University SIPA today announced the third cohort of the David Leuschen Global Energy Fellows. The cohort, which consists of Columbia graduate students from several schools, will receive resources and training to become the energy leaders of tomorrow. They will participate in luncheons with CGEP experts and Distinguished Visiting Fellows, career development workshops, networking events, and an offsite. Fellows will also receive assistance looking for jobs and full funding for summer internships in the energy and climate sector.
“As the global policy community continues to navigate the complex challenges of an energy transition, energy security, and the energy needed for economic development, it’s essential that universities like Columbia invest the time and effort needed to train the next generation of leaders on these issues,” said Jason Bordoff, Founding Director of CGEP. “I’m thrilled to see the Center on Global Energy Policy’s robust network of experts from government, the private sector, and civil society engaging directly with our incredible cohort this year to give them the resources they need to succeed amid the global energy challenges of tomorrow.”
Building on Columbia University’s rich interdisciplinary environment, the Columbia Global Energy Fellows program brings together students from a variety of graduate schools at the university. By fostering collaboration across disciplines, the program equips fellows with the critical thinking skills necessary to tackle global challenges in energy and climate policy.
“From reducing fossil fuel use to fostering renewables, the world’s enormous energy and climate issues require innovative solutions, and Columbia University is full of the future leaders who can help us find them thanks to a robust network of the nation’s best minds, resources, and job training opportunities,” David Leuschen said. “I am happy to support the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA in its efforts to train and equip tomorrow’s energy leaders for success in their chosen fields.”
