From the Lion’s Mouth

“I get to believe in and live the fountain of youth 28 times every semester. Seeing the world as we saw it when we were in college is a fantasy for most people. Being a faculty member at a place like Columbia allows me to live that fantasy every day.”

Sunil Gulati, Senior Lecturer, Economics
