Everyone at the Office of Admissions wanted to wish our PA, Selim Can Sazak, MIA ’15, a big congratulations on co-authoring an article in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists! His article asks, “Will there be a next generation in the fight for nuclear nonproliferation?” SIPA News sat down with him to discuss the article and the question it poses for the future of nuclear disarmament.
The SIPA Admissions Office, in conjunction with the Development Office, is excited to share with you two more SIPA student stories this week! Read More →
Today I’ve decided to share a short Q&A with a current International Organizations and UN Studies specialization student, Isabela Cunha. This specialization requires students to complete a core course in international organizations, and two additional three-credit courses. The content of this core course focuses particularly on the mandate of these organizations, their history, their governance structure, their funding sources and mechanisms, their key achievements and most serious challenges, and above all, their impact on the world around them. None of this is static – mandates change or atrophy, power shifts, funding fluctuates, influence waxes and wanes.
You may recall in a blog post we announced the fluctuation of this specialization. Previously SIPA had a United Nations Studies program, which was phased out, making way for the highly-anticipated (and requested) UNS specialization, which is under the umbrella of the IO specialization. So we thought you’d find this Q&A with Isabela Cunha, conducted by our PA, Eric Medina, MPA ’15, interesting. Enjoy. Read More →
