Bruce's courses, including Value Investing, Economics of Strategic Behavior, and Globalization, are consistently over-subscribed with more than 600 students taking his classes each year. The below photo is of Bruce and his famous overhead projecter which the School now keeps just for him.

Margaret Canella '76, Heilbrunn Center adjunct faculty member writes "It sometimes seems like Bruce Greenwald teaches all day and all night - every CBS student has been to his class, every CBS student clings to his teachings until graduation and beyond. Several years ago, I had a colleague who invested in the high yield bond market. She would talk about an investment at a morning meeting, sometimes pulling out notes that she read carefully as she prepared her remarks at the table in the minutes before the meeting. At one point, her boss - me - asked what it was she was referring to. She said 'notes from Bruce Greenwald's class.' Since she graduated from Columbia Business School 15 or so years prior, I thought this a little unusual until I too taught at CBS and a student told me 'if you remember what Professor Greenwald teaches, you will be the best investor!' Hundreds, if not thousands of students and alumni agree with that statement!"

Pat Duff '84, former Heilbrunn Center adjunct faculty member writes "For the modern day Columbia MBA student, Bruce has brought to life the words of Graham, Dodd, and Murray. He has enthused his students with a consistent investment framework able to withstand all investment cycles. The vast trove of graduates with successful investment careers is testament of his legendary course and his message."

Ben Hansen '16, current student and Bruce's teaching assistant writes "To me, Bruce’s presence looms larger at CBS than any other professor’s. His academic work and its continued relevance to the field of investing, combined with his distinct teaching style and his sharp wit, have led to the high esteem in which the students hold him. As a professor, Bruce consistently conducts lively classes, ensuring that students are educated, entertained, and always on their toes. He has a penchant for taking seemingly dry material and making it consistently fresh. His understanding of competitive dynamics is unmatched, and it feels like I learn something new every time I attend a lecture or revisit his books. After I graduate, I will miss his engaging presence, but I will continue to revisit his teachings."

Budge Collins, founder, Collins/Bay Island Securities and Heilbrunn Center Advisory Board member writes "Bruce Greenwald has obviously made a huge difference in my life but I’m not the important recipient. The students are the ones that should have benefited the most. In my travels, I have concluded that the students have benefited the most. Every week I seem to hear a new positive story about the value section at the Columbia Business School. Thank you, Bruce Greenwald."
