Dean's Council

Global leaders from many sectors join the Dean’s Council because they want to have a positive impact on public policy and public leadership.

Their extraordinary support of the School provides a large portion of funding that can be used where it is most needed. From new initiatives to student financial aid, this support offers Dean Douglas W. Elmendorf the flexibility needed to respond to emerging challenges and opportunities.

Members of the Council meet two times a year—typically in Cambridge, MA, and London, UK, to share their thoughts about the Kennedy School’s work and to hear the latest thinking from the School’s top scholars, practitioners, and students.

Dean’s Council members give at least $25,000 each year to support the School’s mission. In fall 2018, a new opportunity for membership on the Dean’s Council— the Leadership Circle—was inaugurated for those who give $50,000 annually to the School.

You can help provide financial and practical advice to advance our efforts to effect positive change in the world.
