Last week, members of the SIPA community gathered at the Waldorf Astoria for the SIPA Global Leadership Awards Gala.

The Global Leadership Awards Gala honors individuals that exemplify the values and qualities that SIPA strives to instill in its students. Those honored this year have made incredible contributions to the public good, and included Edward Skyler, Executive Vice President at CITI; Eduardo Paes, Mayor of Rio de Janeiro; and Eric Garcetti, Mayor of Los Angeles and a SIPA alumnus, Class of ’95.
