Just another example of the tremendous access SIPA students have to those who help to shape policy related to international and public affairs.

The SIPA feature event this week was a talk given last night by author Siddharth Kara. Mr. Kara recently published the book, Sex Trafficking: Inside the Business of Modern Slavery. The event was hosted by The Southern Asian Institute and is one of 10 events taking place this week.
SIPA students are fortunate to be able to have access to programming such as this through 21 different regional and functional institutes and centers. You can further explore all of these centers by visiting our Institutes and Centers Web page.
Below is a short YouTube Video where Mr. Kara briefly describes his new work, published by Columbia University Press.
A crowd of several thousand students, staff, and administrators gathered in the center of campus on Tuesday for the inauguration of Columbia College alumnus Barack Obama on a jumbo tron television screen. President Bollinger welcomed the crowd prior to the event and extended an invitation to everyone in the audience to join he and his wife at their home following the event.
The temperature was a cool but you would not have known it by the looks on the faces of those in the crowd. There was definitely an air of excitement and it is an event I will never forget. A slide show of the event is available on the ColumbiaNews Web site.
"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
