On our blog, we often talk about repetitive, but necessary topics, like the admissions process and the curriculum. But there’s so much more SIPA has to offer outside of the classroom. Thus, I’m sharing a post by Program Assistant Katherine McGehee, MIA ’15, regarding one of SIPA’s newest student groups, SIPA Eats. SIPA has 46 active student organizations, and SIPA Eats has become one of the graduate school’s most talked about groups.

The Office of Admissions has received several inquiries from incoming Fall 2015 students about orientation, course registration and assistantships. Luckily, one of our Admissions Ambassadors decided to share with all of you some “insider’s knowledge” on how to approach academics and financial aid at SIPA. Here’s what Sriram Gutta, MPA ’15, had to say:
In our second edition of new-student introductions, I’d like everyone to welcome Laho Bangoura.

He hopes to use his SIPA degree to strengthen “Guinea’s voice and visibility in the world,” he says. Read the rest of his story below. Read More →
After a painfully long winter (2013-2014 was New York City’s 7th-snowiest winter on record), things are finally starting to warm up around here. So our former Program Assistant (and current temp), Lauren Podber, MIA ’15, came up with a fantastic idea to get our incoming Fall 2015 class in the right mindset for August’s Orientation Week.
You may recall a recent blog post asking for our incoming Fall 2015 students to introduce themselves on the Admissions Blog. Since then, I’ve received several submissions from your fellow Seeple. (Thank you to everyone who’s participated!) To kick off this weekly series, let’s start with Ashley Marissa Portillo, a California native who likes to practice yoga and climb the Inca ruins (not necessarily at the same time). She’s concentrating in Human Rights and Humanitarian Policy, and hopes to work for the U.S. State Department as a Foreign Service Officer after graduating from SIPA. Below, you’ll find her responses to the New Student Survey. Read More →
