Each semester, the Heyman Center welcomes dozens of prominent academics, critics, authors, journalists, artists, and performers from around the world. These visiting speakers participate in conferences and deliver lectures that are generally free and open to the public. 
Many of Columbia's faculty members participate in Heyman Center programming throughout the year as featured speakers, interlocutors, chairs, and in various other capacities.
Each year, the Heyman Center provides support to a variety of fellows. HCH-supported fellows include: The Heyman Center Fellows, a cohort of senior faculty, junior faculty, and advanced graduate students at Columbia who meet regularly and receive support to advance their work-in-progress; Public Humanities Fellows, who receive support in partnership with the New York Council for the Humanities; and the members of the Society of Fellows in the Humanities, for which the Heyman Center provides offices and other sources of support.
Our staff carries out the programming, business, communications and marketing, and administrative functions of the Heyman Center at its East Campus offices.
Our Advisory Board includes some of Columbia's most prominent professors from across various fields in the humanities and social sciences.
