The Ronald Dickerman ’87 fund was established in AY24 through the Paul Milstein Center for Real Estate to support international student travel opportunities led by The Chazen Institute for Global Business. The fund aims to underwrite and offset expenses related to study tours, widening the experiential opportunity to participate in international travel while in business school, and introducing students to real estate markets and their unique complexities around the globe.
With leadership and guidance from Professor Brian Lancaster, the first cohort of students eligible for the Dickerman Travel Fund award traveled to Mumbai, Hyderabad, New Delhi, and Agra in March 2024 through the Chazen Institute, the premier interdisciplinary hub of global business knowledge at Columbia Business School. Designed to enhance the classroom curriculum, study tours offer students an intense, firsthand experience of the business culture of a chosen country or region to lay the groundwork for future international internships and careers.
