2022-2023
Rebuilding our community
Last year was one of excitement and transition as Columbia Business School welcomed students back to campus in fall 2021 and opened our new doors in Manhattanville to students and visitors alike in spring 2022. The Heilbrunn Center launched a new curriculum and navigated hybrid and in-person events. With the success of the new curriculum well underway, looking to the 2022-2023 academic year, the focus for the Heilbrunn Center will be on re-building the in-person experience of our community and in particular rebuilding the community of our Value Investing Program. Beginning in spring 2023, the capstone course—Value Investing with Legends—will only be open to students in the Value Investing Program. With this new course cap Program students will have the opportunity to engage in a small group setting with the best in the industry, providing an opportunity for both learning and networking. We are also re-launching our VI program lunch series also providing Program students the opportunity to learn from practitioners outside the classroom in a small group setting.

Students are selected for the Program through a competitive application process and complete a set of 7 courses including: Modern Value, Applied Value Investing, The Credit Superhighway, Economics of Strategic Behavior, Value Investing with Legends, and two elective courses from a menu of Heilbrunn Center courses. Besides access to world-class practitioners who teach the Value Investing Program courses, students in the Program also receive access to special programming, including recruiting and career workshops, mentors, and various networking events. The Heilbrunn Center also maintains a resume book for students in the Program that is sent to employers upon request. If you are interested in recruiting from the Value Investing Program, please contact Meredith Trivedi at [email protected].
In addition to the Center’s regular course offerings, we are pleased to offer a new elective, Hybrid Fund Investing: Crossing Over from Public to Private Markets (and Back Again), which is open to students both in the VI Program and the general MBA population and taught by Chuck Murphy ’09, Chief Investment Officer, Council Ring Capital. The purpose of this course is to provide students with broad exposure to investment strategies that straddle public and private equity markets, which are increasingly prevalent in today’s landscape. Students will be introduced to a variety of hybrid public/private equity investing strategies and situations, including (pre-IPO) crossover funds, tactical opportunity funds, SPACs, PIPEs, take-privates, and more. The course will discuss the key similarities and differences between public and private investing, highlighting areas of synergy (and dis-synergy) in the investment process.
International Executive Education
The Heilbrunn Center will travel to London in September 2022 to host an open enrollment Executive Education program on Modern Value. Taught by faculty director Tano Santos, the Robert Heilbrunn Professor of Finance and Asset Management, this program is the first of its kind offered by the Center and one that we hope to expand in the coming years.

Stay Involved and Upcoming Events
There are many ways to engage with the Heilbrunn Center and our students.
Mentor a Student
As part of the Value Investing Program experience, each student is paired with at least one industry professional to provide guidance and advice on career development, feedback on pitches, and other assistance with networking and recruiting. This mentorship provides our students with the invaluable opportunity to engage one-on-one with an active member of the investing community and has led to many lifelong professional friendships. For those unable to commit the time to a formal mentee, we also offer mock interview preparation for the VI Program students and are building a directory of practitioners to conduct mock interviews on a one-off basis.
If you are interested in participating with the mentorship or mock interview program please contact Julia Kimyagarov at [email protected].
Speak on Campus
The Heilbrunn Center, in conjunction with CSIMA, hosts a regular professional development series for students to hear from and ask questions of practitioners in a small group setting. If you are interested in speaking on campus please contact Meredith Trivedi at [email protected].
Judge a Stock Pitch
Participate as an IIC judge, CSIMA Stock Pitch Competition judge, Applied Security Analysis practice pitch judge or meet with students individually to provide feedback on their verbal and written stock pitches. If you are interested in serving as a judge, please contact Meredith Trivedi at [email protected].
