While the SIPA staff, faculty and students work and study remotely during this unprecedented global health crisis, we extend wishes of good health to members of our alumni community around the world.

Information about SIPA’s response to COVID-19 is available here. As always, you can stay in touch with news from SIPA on social media.

A special fund has been set up to assist SIPA students with unanticipated financial burdens at this time. To make a donation, visit the online giving site Columbians Care for Students and designate your gift to “SIPA Dean’s Initiatives Fund.”
