New Student Photo Series — Post 5

Joel Robert Putnam, MPA 2015 has traveled extensively and is an avid blogger.

Below are a couple photos Joel submitted.  These photos were taken during his internship with the non-profit International Leadership Academy of Ethiopia.   He just returned from Addis Ababa where he split his time between teaching summer classes and helping the NGO and school get off the ground in time for its first official ninth grade class this fall.

There are additional stories and pictures from the experience on his travel blog, jtrek.blogspot.com.

New Student Photo Series 2013 – Post 4

Rosalind Adams will be a dual degree MIA and MS in Journalism candidate at Columbia University. 

I recently left my job in the U.N. press corps to spend the summer in Santiago writing for a local English newspaper, freelancing and studying Spanish. I’m covering the presidential election and the student protests here and things are really starting to build.

These pictures were taken from the student protest on June 20, 2013 in Santiago, Chile.

New Student Photo Series 2013 – Post 3

¡Hola!

I’m Rebeca Moreno Jiménez, Mexican Fulbright fellow, currently working as a Communications Assistant at the World Bank (WB) in Mexico City field office. I have lived in Mexico City for almost 5 years, but I come from a small-town in northern Mexico called Ensenada, and usually people from the capital notice my “funny accent”.

During these four years, I have work in the promotion and outreach of WB activities in Mexico, from Advocacy Communication, Corporate-Internal Communication, to Communication for Development (Comm4Dev), Public Relations and Knowledge Management.  In my free time (yes, I have some free time left) I am part of the global youth network called World Economic Forum (WEF) “Global Shapers“, supporting Mexico’s national development with a ‘glocal’ vision.

I have to confess that I have mix feelings about leaving my country, my job and my friends. But I’m bringing to SIPA my passion for international development and my desire to share my experiences with all of you.

Un abrazo desde la Ciudad de México,
Rebe (MPA candidate, 2015)

New Student Photo Series 2013 – Post 1

The Annual New Student Summer Photo series is 5 years old.

Last week we posted a request to all you dedicated readers; looking for photos and/or summer exploit posts from the incoming SIPA student population.  We have a few submissions but are always looking for more.  So if you are interested in sharing, please email them to us at: [email protected] along with some basic information about you.  Our goal is to showcase one or two students’ photographs (or story) at least once a week during the summer.

In the meantime, we congratulate Chelsea Rudman for being selected as our first Summer Series post… and of course for being admitted to the MIA program at SIPA —  Class of 2015.
