SIPA Admitted Students Day 2019 COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY - SIPA Admissions Blog

SIPA Admitted Students Day 2019 COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY - SIPA Admissions Blog Last week we held our annual open house for the newly admitted MIA, MPA and MPA-DP incoming Class, Admitted Students Day 2019. While it was fantastic for us to meet many of the names behind the emails and calls, it was especially great for the admitted students to meet each other and the larger SIPA community, including faculty, alumni and current students. Admitted students get a lot of specialized content to better inform them of what SIPA offers as a policy graduate school. This includes Faculty Webinars like this one with Vice Dean Scott Barrett,   and additional ones with Professor Tamar Mitts and and upcoming webinar with Professor Dipali Mukhopadhyay. While we can only share the first webinar, you can learn more about Professor Mittss work in big data within counterrorism here,   and Professor Mukhopadyays work in rebuilding countries post-conflict here. Admitted students have also been meeting up with alumni all over the world, most recently in Washington, D.C. Overheard at this D.C. meetup?  I was on the fence but after tonight I’m sold. I can see how close the alum are and it’s great y’all came here to answer questions.” I encourage every person interested in SIPA, admitted student or thinking of applying in a bit, to directly connect with SIPA as much as possible. This might be connecting with SIPA alumni and/or current students, but it can also include researching what courses are available, or visiting classes in the fall and spring semesters. Finding out if a graduate school is right for you can be time-consuming, so its never bad to start early. It was great meeting all of the admitted students last week we hope you had fun and we look forward to seeing the Class of 2021 in the fall. View this post on Instagram Congratulations! We look forward to seeing you on campus soon. #Repost @monicavegaherr · · · At the end of last year I found out I was a recipient of the Charles Rangel International Affairs Fellowship. This fellowship provides funding for graduate studies and prepares recipients for a job with the Department of State as a U.S. diplomat upon graduation. Today I officially accepted my offer of admission at Columbia University where I will be pursuing a Master of International Affairs. I am so excited for the future! ?? #columbiasipa A post shared by Columbia | SIPA (@columbia.sipa) on Apr 17, 2019 at 9:53am PDT
