Did you know that Columbia-couples make up 5% or more of our alumni population? To celebrate the connections our students make here, we’ve teamed up with Columbia Alumni Association to share a SIPA love story every day this week. Then on Saturday, February 14—yes, Valentine’s Day—return to the blog to discover new connections Seeple are currently making!
So here’s our first story highlighting a SIPA connection, as submitted by our alumni themselves and told in their own voices.
The SIPA Office of Career Services hosted SIPA´s 39th Annual Washington, D.C. Career Conference from January 13 – 15. SIPA alumni and other professionals based in the Washington, D.C. area participated in the conference, which introduced attendees to the capital and informed them of employment opportunities. This three-day event consisted of 16 career panels, various employer site visits, an alumni/student networking reception, and a day for informational interviews with alumni.
Pablo Bejar (PEPM ’15) attended the event. Pablo attained his Masters in Business Administration with an emphasis in Economics from California State University, where he graduated with honors and published his thesis on Corporate Social Responsibility and Financial Performance.
Here, Pablo offers his reflections on the conference and its professional value for PEPM students.
"The most global public policy school, where an international community of students and faculty address world challenges."
—Merit E. Janow, Dean, SIPA, Professor of Practice, International and Economic Law and International Affairs
