Friday Roundup Admitted Students Day, Alumni Day, and SIPA Faculty COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY - SIPA Admissions Blog

Friday Roundup Admitted Students Day, Alumni Day, and SIPA Faculty COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY - SIPA Admissions Blog Weve been busy talking to so many fantastic students these past few weeks, past, current and future! Graduation for the SIPA Class of 2018 is coming up in a few weeks, and its bittersweet for us to watch the students weve known since they attended their first info session, graduate and go off into the world. On the other side, weve talked to many of our newly admitted students as they figure out what life at SIPA will be like. Well be giving some peeks into student life next week on the blog. Until then, heres what weve been up to at SIPA: Its been 10 days since Admitted Students Day, our annual open house for the new MIA, MPA, and MPA-DP incoming class. We welcomed the SIPA Class of 2020 to campus for the day, allowing them to get a feel for the vibrant and busy SIPA community. This past weekend was  Alumni Day, where past students reunited for informative panels and to catch up.  Clockwise from the top left is the SIPA  Class of 2008,  Class of 2013,  Class of 1998,  Class of 1993 two classes celebrating their 20- and 25-year anniversaries! The years our alumni spent here as current students led to lifetime bonds around the world. Finally, were giving a huge congratulations to economist Richard Clarida, who was  nominated as vice chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, the second-ranking position in the United States central banking system. Were excited to see the SIPA community grow in so many diverse directions.  Wishing you all a great weekend!
