Apply for SIPA's Alumni Mentoring Program 

Current SIPA students are invited to apply for the Alumni Mentoring Program offered by the Office of Alumni Affairs and SIPA’s Alumni Association. The program is designed to match current SIPA students with alumni who can help you plan a post-SIPA career path. The Alumni Mentoring Program is not a job placement program: instead, its objectives are to help you develop specific skills, such as interviewing and resume writing, plan a career trajectory, and manage career transitions.

Matching will take place during the fall semester and applicants will be notified via email if and when we have found a mentor match for you. Participating in this program requires that you take responsibility for following up with your mentor if you are matched.

Apply HERE. The priority deadline for applications is Wednesday, September 7, 2016.

Questions? Please contact Alumni Affairs at sipamentoring@sipa.columbia.edu.

 

SIPA students interested in Healthcare Administration, Public Health, and other relevant programs are invited to attend  the second-annual Northeast Administrative Fellowship Fair on September 13, 2016 from 11:30am-1:00pm at the Columbia University Medical Center campus in NYC.

This event is a wonderful opportunity for students pursuing graduate degrees in hospital/healthcare administration, public health, or other relevant fields to meet representatives from hospital/healthcare administration fellowship programs.

Attendance is limited and all students MUST RSVP. Students who attend MUST be currently pursuing a relevant GRADUATE degree related to hospital administration, and should be graduating between September 2016 and June 2017. RSVP at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/northeast-administrative-fellowship-fair-2016-tickets-26425576611 
 
Students who do not RSVP or are not CURRENTLY enrolled in a relevant degree program will not be admitted.
 

SIPA Alumni DIrectory Now Available to Students!

Have you heard about the new SIPA Alumni Directory? Students can now search and initiate contact with alumni based on region, field of study or work, and a variety of other criteria. It is a great tool to connect with SIPA alumni around the world and we hope you will find it useful in your networking efforts! The directory is available for current SIPA students and alumni.

With the database students can: 
  • Identify alumni in your preferred career field.   
  • Prioritize those with whom you share common interests or backgrounds.
  • Email the alumnus/a to request an informational interview.
  • Ask questions that will help you understand the field/job/organization and more!
To ensure that SIPA alumni can continue to be a resource for students, please follow these rules when using the SIPA Alumni Directory.  Please be aware that students who do not follow these guidelines or misuse the directory will lose access.
 
 
Did you know OCS has hired SIPA alumni to serve as career coaches for current students? These alumni are experts in a variety of industries and can offer guidance to students who are contemplating various career choices or are seeking information about their field of interest. The SIPA Career Coaching (SIPACC) Program serves as a complement to services already offered by OCS. Students should schedule general appointments with OCS career advisers, and meet with SIPA career coaches for sector-specific information. 

The SIPA career coaches are not recruiters; thus, you should not ask them for jobs. However, you may ask for industry-specific information, current trends in the field, advice about entry into a particular field, and other specific questions related to your job search.
