Developing and Writing Cases

Students who are interested in case development may apply to join the Columbia CaseWorks Student Fellows Program. As a Fellow, students work with faculty to research and write a case that may be published and added to the CaseWorks case collection. An information session is held in the spring semester for 1st year students who are interested in applying to be a fellow in their second year. If you have any questions, please contact Shelley Han.
