Introducing Columbia Global Center: Santiago, Chile
In an ongoing effort to broaden Columbia University's extensive international perspective, President Lee C. Bollinger signed an agreement to establish a fifth Columbia Global Center, in Santiago, Chile—the University's first in Latin America. He was joined by Andronico Luksic, vice chairman of Banco de Chile, Kenneth Prewitt, vice president of Columbia Global Centers, and SIPA alumna Karen Poniachik (MIA '90), director of the new center. The signing ceremony was hosted by John H. Coatsworth, Dean of SIPA. [September 12, 2011}
