Starting at noon today we’re live-tweeting SIPA’s Fourth Annual Diversity Symposium, From Protests to Public Policy: Advocating for Positive Change. This year’s program includes speakers in public service and nonprofit sectors:
Participants are also engaging with other SIPA applicants and current students to discuss the importance of a diverse student body in schools of public policy and international affairs. We’ve also set aside time for a panel discussion of current SIPA students, and a discussion by SIPA alumni.
To catch you up on what’s being discussed, check out the posts below and follow the conversation on Twitter using #SIPADiversitySym15.
