Workshops are an integral part of academic and professional development at SIPA. Workshops are group projects completed with an outside client. At the end of each year student workshop groups participate in public presentations where they share the results of their hard work. Information on these workshops and reports from previous years can be found on our web site. Below is the invitation that went out this year.
