Summer Update

Greetings from the Education Collaborative!  We hope that everyone is having a great summer.  We are very anxious to get started on planning for the upcoming school year.  Having learned more about SIPA students' interests in education from our survey last spring (see results here), we are excited to plan events related to a diverse range of education issues.  We are also looking forward to working with SIPA administrators and professors to incorporate education-related issues more fully into the SIPA curriculum.  It is going to be an exciting year!

Here are a few things to look forward to:

1)  We will be having weekly meeting this coming semester, dates and locations TBA.  In the meantime, if you have any ideas for events or other initiatives that you would like the Education Collaborative to pursue, please be in touch!  Email Sarah Begeman at shb2129@columbia.edu with any and all ideas.

2)  If you know of other student groups or organizations from around Columbia or elsewhere in New York who may be interested in collaborating with us for events, networking, or other initiatives, please let us know!

3)  We are very excited to grow our network by welcoming in new students!  We will be present at the SIPA Student Group Fair on Thursday, August 29 from 6-8:30 pm on Ancell Plaza (between the International Affairs and Law School buildings).  Representatives from the Education Collaborative will be there to answer questions and welcome new students!

4)  Current students- as you are thinking about what courses to take this coming semester, remember to check out our Education Course Listings, which list education-related courses from around Columbia.

Enjoy the rest of the summer, and we'll see you in the fall!
